About the Ortovox Free Rider 28
What is the Ortovox Freerider 28 good for?
Built for technical freeride missions where freedom of movement and safety are top priorities. Its flat profile and ergonomic design make it ideal for tackling steep terrain, tight tree lines, or dynamic descents with full confidence. With space for essential gear, avalanche safety equipment, and ski mountaineering accessories, it's your go-to pack for high-performance backcountry adventures.
How will some of the key features of the Ortovox Freerider 28 enhance my experience?
The snug, body-hugging fit of the FREE RIDER 28 allows full freedom of movement while riding without the pack shifting or throwing off your balance. The CLASP FLEX BELT provides reliable support and comfort, while the soft back pads flex naturally with your spine. An optional certified spine protector offers added peace of mind, especially in exposed terrain. The separate safety compartment means your avalanche gear is always quick to grab, and multiple access points to the main compartment keep your gear organised. Attach skis, ropes, or an axe with ease using the secure external straps, all while enjoying a close, flat fit that won’t snag on branches or rock.
