Tuk 28L Ski/Alpine Pack

The Tuk (named for Mt. Tukuhnikivatz) is a pack built for backcountry skiing and alpine climbing with a focus on carrying avalanche safety equipment. The front zipper pocket allows easy access to an avalanche shovel, probe, and even a 45cm ice tool. A piece of webbing holds the shovel blade suspended off the bottom of the pocket for easy retrieval and the internal sleeves keep items  organized and secure. If you don't need a shovel and probe, the avy pocket can expand to fit a belay jacket or other items. Our signature ice tool carry patch is setup to carry everything from walking axes to technical tools and even crampons by adding a ski strap. For carrying skis or pickets, ski straps or our Compression Straps can be attached to the side loops. The rolltop closure keeps precipitation out and adjusts the volume of the pack to your requirements while a back zipper pocket keeps small items accessible and protected. The removeable 1.5 inch hipbelt adjusts at the pack to keep the strap tails out of the way of a harness and is also compatible with our Hip Belt Pads. A bi-fold foam back pad, hydration hose or radio mic ports, top rope strap, a drainage grommet, and strap keepers round out the rest of the features. As with all our packs, the Tuk is built to order with your choice of material and color. The main color will be the side, back, and rolltop panels while the accent color will be the on the avy pocket and shoulder straps.
