The Glide skiing and climbing backpacks are specially designed and made exclusively for our Couloir brand of Light Hiking Gear. Available in 27 and 32 liters, these packs include reinforced areas to resist abrasion, helmet-carry systems, and compatibility with back protection systems to enhance your safety, alongside the many features detailed below. We’re proud to offer these reliable and thoughtfully crafted backpacks for your outdoor adventures.

The 27 or 32 Liter Glide Ski Pack offers a top zip pouch with a 1-liter soft felt pocket perfect for sunglasses or goggles, plus a 1/4-liter zip mesh pocket to keep valuables, lotions, and creams within easy reach. It also includes a handy key clip to keep your keys secure. The mid zip pouch features a 1-liter stretch mesh pocket with two hooks to safely hold your helmet when not in use. The main compartment has a fully opening lid that provides full access to your gear, even with skis or a snowboard attached, and four zipper sliders make it easy to open from any angle. The lid can also serve as a sit pad if you need to rest. Inside the lid are two fabric pockets for valuables like goggles and lotions, along with two vertical fabric pockets for avalanche probes, equipment, and climbing skins. Each side has two zippered mesh pockets for small items, plus a dedicated pocket for a small snow shovel and its handle, keeping it secure inside the pack to prevent loss during falls. Upper and lower tie-down straps hold loose gear firmly to prevent shifting while you move across the slopes. The pack also includes a two-liter hydration bladder holder with a smart hose exit that runs through a zippered shoulder strap, where ventilation holes in the strap’s foam use your body heat to keep the hydration hose warm for added comfort.

The 27 or 32 Liter Glide Ski Pack features a heavy-duty carry strap on top and a soft, comfortable back panel with a center heat chimney that sheds snow and keeps your back dry. Its aluminum "T" frame supports your load while allowing flexibility during weight shifts in deep powder skiing. Four compression straps—two on each side—secure your skis quickly and compress the load, while the front straps can also hold a snowboard. Each side includes a lower "easy drop-in" slot forming a ski-carrying A-frame. Curved shoulder straps and a sternum strap keep the pack stable during intense skiing. Additional features include daisy chain ladders on the shoulder straps, a zippered pocket for a hydration tube, and a removable waist belt for deep powder conditions. The cushioned backrest with vertical stay adds comfort, and the pack is made from heavy-duty 210 denier Robic material. Delivery takes 5-10 days.
