Osprey Soelden 32 Backpack

The Osprey Soelden 32 is a model ski touring day pack. It is a roomy 32L pack designed to carry everything you would need day-in-day-out in the backcountry comfortably. Everything you would expect from Osprey's quality range of packs, built with ski touring in mind.

Large J-zip front pocket is your entry point into the avalanche safety pocket with compartmentalization for probe and shovel handle, keeping your tools where you need them in case of emergency.

The main pocket makes up the majority of the volume and is accessible through the thermoformed back panel. Back panel access gives you the ability to get deep into your pack without pulling everything out, helping keep you organised and have everything on hand in a jiffy. 

When loaded with up to 10+kgs the padded hipbelt and contoured shoulder straps provide a comfortable carry even when breaking trail toward distant peaks. Comfortable carry when loaded is an Osprey speciality and they have nailed it in the Soelden 32.

Other winter-specific features include a stowable helmet carry system, ice axe loop, and a scratch-free goggle pocket. Glove-friendly buckles and zippers poles let you keep your hands covered when you’re making the transition from skins to skis on the summit.

Key Features

AVALANCHE SAFETY KIT POCKET 

A quick-access extended J-zipper with an extra-large opening provides access to avalanche safety gear secured inside the pack. An easy-to-find third zipper pull allows rapid access if a helmet, skis or snowboard are being carried on the pack. The large pockets accommodate large shovel blades and the dual centre sleeves secure extra-long probes and shovel handles.
