High touring backpack Peak 35 from Ortovox tested. We tested the all-rounder for alpinists for you. This is our experience report.

The German mountaineering specialist Ortovox is launching a shop selling refurbished products.

In some regions, the long-awaited flakes have already fallen, and more snowfall is imminent this weekend. The weather conditions consisting of wind, fluctuating temperature ranges and, depending on the region, plenty of fresh snow promise an increased risk potential.

Ortovox is voluntarily recalling all Ortovox Avabag Litric models (Avabag Litric Tour, Avabag Litric Freeride, Avabag Litric Zero) including the Zip-Ons. The recall only affects the electronic airbag models with Litric technology. Any mechanical Avabag models with a cartridge system are not affected.

Low weight, simple operation, reliable deployment: Avabag Litric is a new electrical airbag system that was developed jointly by Ortovox and Arc'teryx and sets new standards. It is the lightest electric avalanche airbag system in the world and is now being used in the avalanche backpacks of both brands.

The Trad Zero 24 is lightweight at 570 grams. We took a closer look at the puristic alpine backpack from Ortovox and tested it on a multi-pitch tour in the Alpstein. Spoiler: We were impressed by the successful mix of comfort, functionality and lightness.

Voice commands can be useful. We talk to our phones to be faster and devices like Alexa talk to us in turn as if we were in a relationship. An electronic device that is symbolic of efficiency and speed in mountain sports is the avalanche transceiver. The question that arises is: Could voice commands speed up the search for buried subjects? Ortovox has an answer: The Diract Voice.

The climbing backpack Trad 30 Dry from Ortovox is waterproof and robust. Your spare clothes and equipment are guaranteed to stay dry here.
