Built for technical freeriding and fluid movement in demanding terrain, the Free Rider 28L is designed to disappear on your back while remaining ready for anything the mountain throws your way. Its close-fitting profile is stabilized by the elastic CLASP FLEX BELT, delivering secure load control without restricting natural motion. Flexible back padding contours comfortably to the spine, allowing unrestricted turns, drops, and transitions while keeping the pack locked in place.
For riders pushing into consequential lines, the Free Rider 28L offers optional integrated protection. A dedicated internal sleeve accommodates the CLASP SPINE PROTECTOR (sold separately), a motorcycle-certified insert that adds impact protection without compromising comfort or mobility. Compression straps allow the pack to be quickly cinched down into a flat, body-hugging silhouette, ideal for high-speed descents or technical passages.
Thoughtful storage and access make this pack a reliable tool in dynamic mountain environments. A separate safety compartment keeps avalanche equipment organized and immediately accessible, while dual front and back panel access streamlines transitions and gear management. Skis, ice axe, rope, and helmet attachments are cleanly integrated and stow flat to prevent snagging in steep or exposed terrain. Crafted from recycled materials and completely PFC-free, the Free Rider 28L delivers uncompromising performance with a reduced environmental footprint.
