Convenient access to the entire main compartment is via a perimeter zipper or a drawstring top lid. Entry is therefore very practical, and the bright interior helps orientation in twilight. The ORTOVOX PEAK 45 backpack also has a cleverly designed gear clamping system and if you add 45 litres of volume, you have a really spacious, functional and comfortable backpack for long expeditions.
Cleverly designed pocket system
The backpack has several pockets to perfectly position your gear, which you can then access quickly and easily.
Separate pocket for avalanche equipment – shovel and probe.
The main pocket has an elastic strap for attaching a water bottle or reservoir and a buckle for attaching it – plus the option to route the hose through the hole in the middle of the pack between the shoulder straps.
Front small zippered pocket – for guidebook, map, and bushel.
Hidden pocket in the main compartment – for documents, cash and valuables.
Outside lid pocket for storing active accessories – hat, snack, gloves, scarf.
In the outer lid pocket there is also a plastic carabiner for keys
Inner lid pocket for storing small equipment – headlamp, knife.
Pocket on the waist belt – for mobile phone, camera or GPS.
Robust and waterproof processing
The backpack is extremely durable thanks to its tightly woven Nylon 420HD Ripstop and abrasion resistant Nylon 420D Manstar. It is also highly water resistant and dries very quickly. ORTOVOX is confident in its quality, which is why you get an extended five-year warranty. There is a whistle on the height-adjustable chest strap for signaling. The lid of the backpack has a sewn-in pocket with an EMERGENCY CARD – a card with personal and medical information. The waist belt has a loop for additional material.
Wool back system helps with sweat wicking
A special feature of the ORTOVOX PEAK 45 backpack that deserves your attention is the SWISSWOOL FULL CONTACT back system. Its uniqueness lies in the wool molded into the back system panel. Thanks to the wool, the back system absorbs moisture 29 times more than conventional foam systems, leaving significantly less sweat on the skin and in other layers of clothing.
The back system has a center panel that provides a chimney effect and improves air circulation when moving. The developers of the SWISSWOOL FULL CONTACT system have collaborated with experts in the field of physiotherapy at ORTOVOX.
25 kg comfortably on the back
The weight distribution on the shoulders and hips is taken care of by the reinforcements in the back system. The shoulder straps are ergonomically adapted to the body. You can tighten the straps not only from the bottom but also from the top and adjust the backpack to your body. The waist belt transitions smoothly right from the back system and literally hugs you. You don’t feel the connection between the waist belt and the pack, the pack is comfortable to carry and there’s no pressure no matter how much you’re carrying.
You attach everything you need to the pack
Attach all the equipment you need for hiking, mountaineering and ski mountaineering to the ORTOVOX PEAK 45. Every piece of equipment has its place, is attached securely and removal is quick and easy. The gear doesn’t move and the pack won’t throw you off balance.

Back size “regular”
The backpack has been tailored for people with a medium back length of 42-50 cm – for a figure of approximately 170 to 195 cm. The length is calculated from the 7th cervical vertebra to the top of the pelvis. The backpack is not only modified in the length of the back, but also in the shape of the shoulder straps and the adjustment of the waist belt. This gives the backpack an ideal fit and a firmer hold on the back.
From challenging mountain hiking to multi-day ski touring
For any challenging climb, whether you have a glacier to cross, a 4,000-foot peak to climb or several snow-covered ridges to cross and ski, the ORTOVOX PEAK 45 supports you with a comfortable back system, functional details, the ability to easily attach all your gear and a clear access to the main compartment. An extremely durable pack with a five-year warranty that you’ll get used to really quickly.
