Ortovox has incorporated Swiss Wool throughout the Peak Light to guarantee dryness and comfort in any situation. The back panel, shoulder straps and waist belt all have a bit of cushioning to provide maximum comfort. Despite its lightweight design, the Peak Light still boasts a plethora of features to add convenience to any climbing or skiing adventure. External attachments for climbing ropes, skis, helmets, axes, and trekking poles make it easy to keep the interior of the pack free of clutter, allowing you to bring along layers, food, water, a map and more. And if that wasn't enough, you can remove the top lid, waist belt and even the supportive wire frame to bring the weight down to a single pound. The Ortovox Peak Light 32L Backpack is the perfect choice for the minimalist-minded mountaineer who wants to maximize comfort and convenience without sacrificing weight.
Lightweight Design
With a slim 2lb weight and the ability to remove the top lid, waist belt, and supportive wire frame, the Peak Light backpack is perfect for minimalist-minded mountaineers looking to shed weight for easier alpine ascents. The single pound weight makes it one of the lightest backpacks available, making it easier to carry the essentials without being bogged down by unnecessary weight.
Swiss Wool Technology
Ortovox incorporates Swiss Wool into nearly every product they make, including the Peak Light backpack. The wool is placed where it will touch your body to help regulate temperature and keep you dry in sweaty or cold conditions. The wool fibers can absorb up to 35% of their weight in moisture without feeling wet, making it an ideal material for outdoor adventures.
Comfortable Cushioning
Despite its weight-conscious, minimalist design, the Peak Light still features cushioning on the back panel, shoulder straps, and waist belt to keep you comfortable during your ascent. The cushioning helps distribute weight evenly across your body, reducing strain and fatigue.
Convenient Attachments
The Peak Light backpack has plenty of external attachments for climbing ropes, skis, helmets, axes, and trekking poles. This allows you to leave more room inside the pack for essentials like layers, food, water, maps, and more. The external attachments are designed to be easy to use, making it quick and convenient to access your gear while on the move.

This is a superb backcountry skiing/mountaineering pack. The removable frame is key to using it as a summit bag on longer, multi-day missions and you roll it up and stow away until you are actually skiing/summiting. I'm very hesitant about zippers on packs as they break and usually at the worst time (e.g., the old Lowe-Alpine contour packs were great, but that zipper always failed), but at least here, the zipper on the pack is robust.

Yep, it's a versatile pack that feel great in a colder climate. The backpack is very durable, has all the needed straps. Everything is solid. 10/10 for quality. I am not a fan of the helmet attachment placement. It's on the outer wall of the pack,so when you drop it on a rocky surface, there is a chance of breaking your helmet (say bye to your adventure then). It would be much better to place that helmet attachment on top of the head of the pack. That's the only downside. Also, the size is perfect for domestic and international flight carry-on luggage requirements. I had no problems with a fully packed backpack on my trip from NYC to Almaty, Kazakhstan and back.

Perfect size for a full day alpine climbing or cragging. My favorite features of the pack are the J-shaped front panel access to my whole kit and the dedicated "safety" pocket where I store my first aid kit. I am an Ortovox Ambassador and received this pack to test and use.

This is the svelter version of my all time favorite pack the peak45. This thing is trimmed down to just the essentials and you can trim it down even more if you need to. It still has a circumferential zip that makes getting to the bottom of your pack easy and enough pockets to organize your stuff without forgetting which pocket has your snacks. It carries skis, ice tools, and/or a rope on the outside no problem, and has a suspension system comfortable enough to handle when the pack is fully loaded. The material is burly and quite water resistant without weighing the pack down too much. This pack has become my go-to for fast and light alpine missions, with and without skis. I am a full time, year-round mountain guide and a member of the Ortovox North American team I received this gear to test and use.

After using this pack for a little over a month it has replaced a handful of others as my go-to alpine and backcountry gear hauler. Super lightweight, well designed, and durable I feel like this pack has everything I need and nothing I don't. Well done Ortovox!
