InsideOutdoor | WINTER 2023 21 PRODUCT MARKET SHOWCASE | WINTER 2022/2023 Alpaca Duffel The Alpaca Duffel combines versatility with thoughtful travel features in a durable do-it-all duffel. The waterresistant TPU coating and 40 percent recycled 900D polyester keeps gear safe, in addition to the abrasion-resistant bottom with added foam. Travel friendly design features spare no detail like the expandable zippered end pocket to keep dirty clothes separate from your clean, and a bonus packing cube that doubles as the duffel’s packing and storage. The removable shoulder straps are comfortable and easy-to-use, and interior mesh pockets keep travel essentials organized. The oversized T-grip zipper and U-zip opening makes packing a breeze. Available in four-liter sizes - 40, 60, 80 and 100 liters. MSRP: $139.95 (40L) to $199.95 (100L) Verte – Resort Specific Ski Pack Verte is built for on-piste resort days with room for your ski essentials, a chairlift friendly design, and new CloudControl flexible hip belt for uninhibited movement on the descent. Like a goggle strap, the elasticized webbing on the hip belt stretches with the movement of your hips while providing support for your lower back. The sleek-looking design features quick access side pockets for chairlift snacks. The diagonal and A-frame ski and snowboard carry, open opportunities in the side country, and the padded front panel protects gear. A fulllength zipper with side gussets gives easy access to items at the bottom of your pack, and the insulated hydration sleeve keeps your reservoir hose from freezing. In addition, the snow shedding molded backpanel keeps snow from building up behind your back, while also minimizing moisture build up. MSPR: $109.95 (Verte 12), $149.95 (Verte 18) Radical 30+ Backpack – Flexible storage for every ski tour MSRP: $189 Radical 30+ backpack has smart features and great comfort for day tours and multi-day outings. Along with large rear zip access, it wins points with roll-top access that serve to expand volume. The pack offers two options for ski attachment: the Speed Attachment with DYNAFIT Ski Hooks with straps and hooks, or traditional on the side. A helmet and two ice axes can be attached to the pack’s exterior. There is a unisex pack or a women’s specific one. The women’s-specific fit lends comfort with its preformed back system that adapts to the natural shape of the spine, distributing the load ideally on the two-part hip belt. BCA’s Backcountry Access Stash Pro Pack When BCA released the Float E2 avalanche airbag last spring, people weren excited about the reduced weight and supercapacitor system. They raved about the blend of utility and design features. Enter the Stash Pro: a pack that boasts the same features as the Float E2 minus the airbag. This includes the Side Stash pocket, Back Stash zip, single-layer Ripstop fabrics, curved side access zippers, and “cooling fin” back panel. The Stash Pro is designed for full-day backcountry exploration or side country laps. Its durable, coated ripstop materials and compartments for all your gear makes it convenient to access layers, snacks and safety tools. The side stash pocket eliminates the need to take your pack off by allowing easy access to the items that you use most frequently. The back stash enables quick access to your BC Link radio. Arc’teryx’s Quiver Crossbody Pack MSRP: $200 No matter where you go, Arc’teryx’s Quiver keeps up. Designed for efficient organization, rapid access and a comfortable carry, it handles essential gear, lunch and light layers. The crossbody design rides comfortably and slings around for easy access.
