Helly HansenAlpine Sar 45 Backpack - Mountaineering backpack

The Alpine SAR 45 backpack by Helly Hansen is a centerpiece for mountaineering and winter mountain sports enthusiasts. Designed based on feedback from Norway's largest search and rescue organization, this backpack meets the demands of the harshest terrains. Its robust construction in Oxford Kordura Nylon ensures exceptional durability against the elements, while offering optimized storage space thanks to its clever design.

The versatility of this backpack is evident in its ability to open completely like a suitcase, facilitating access to and organization of your gear. In icy conditions, the avalanche tool and ice axe carrying system is a valuable asset for your safety. The option to attach skis in an A-frame allows for balanced weight distribution, ideal for technical ascents. Finally, the SOLAS reflective elements enhance your visibility, a significant advantage in low-light conditions.

Designed for demanding mountaineers and freeriders, this backpack is ideal for high-altitude expeditions where every detail counts. Whether you're crossing pristine snowfields or climbing steep ridges, the Alpine SAR 45 accompanies you with reliability and practicality. An obvious choice for those who leave nothing to chance during their altitude adventures.
