A backpack is rarely good for everything. The one for ski touring needs mounts for skis and ice axes and a compartment from which the shovel can be pulled out in seconds. The one for travel should open up like a suitcase. That’s why both are listed side by side here, sorted by what you need it for.
Backpacks for ski touring, hiking, and travel
For the mountains, we carry Ortovox, Evoc, Deuter and Osprey – from lightweight daypacks to touring backpacks with avalanche gear compartments. For travel, the duffel bags and wheeled suitcases from Douchebags, plus ski boot bags that fit your boots, helmet, and goggles all together.
What size do you need?
√ 15 to 20 liters for a day trip on the slopes or a short hike
√ 25 to 35 liters for a ski tour with avalanche gear, food, and a change of clothes
√ 40 liters and more for hut-to-hut hikes and multi-day trips
√ Ski boot backpacks hold a complete set of boots, helmet, and goggles
What matters most in a touring backpack
The separate compartment for a shovel and probe isn’t a luxury—it’s the difference between twenty seconds and two minutes. Make sure it has diagonal and side ski attachments, a chest strap with an emergency whistle, and a back panel that stays dry even when wet. If you’re often out in the backcountry, be sure to check out avalanche rescue training as well.
Frequently Asked Questions About Backpacks
What size is best for a day-long ski tour?
25 to 30 liters. That’s enough for avalanche gear, food, a change of clothes, and the skins, without the backpack getting in the way during the ascent.
Do skis fit on the outside of any backpack?
No. Only touring backpacks have straps designed for this, usually diagonal or on the side. A standard hiking backpack lacks the reinforcement, and the edges will cut into the fabric.
Can I bring a ski boot backpack on the plane?
Yes, as checked luggage. It’s almost always too big for carry-on luggage if you have shoes inside—airline size limits vary, so check them before your flight.
How do I wash a backpack?
Wash it by hand in lukewarm water with a little special detergent; never put it in the washing machine or the dryer. Then let it dry open and upside down so that no water gets trapped in the seams.
