If light and fast ski touring missions are your jam, the Dynafit Radical line of packs are well worth a look. Dynafit’s “Speed Up” ethos is evident in the design of these packs, which will have you accessing the goods (and your gear) more quickly and efficiently than you thought possible.
All of the necessary features apply here: Secure storage for your avalanche rescue equipment inside the main compartment, a helmet carry system, internal hydration compatibility, ice axe attachments and both diagonal and A-frame ski carry capabilities, with highly breathable mesh in key body-heat zones like the back panel and shoulder straps.
Both the 23- and 28-liter versions include several bonus features you might not find in other lesser packs: A waterproof internal pocket for your phone, a removable shoulder strap bottle holder for on-the-go hydration, a “safety box” compartment for crampons, and a removable back insert that keeps you comfy when you want and lets you lighten up when you need. Outside mesh pockets stow gear that you need to access easily, while an ergonomic cut and fully adjustable shoulder and chest straps allow you to dial in the fit to be as snug as you like. Dynafit’s highly durable Expedition ripstop fabric ties this pack together in an adventure-ready unit that will have your back for many seasons to come.
