Developed for alpine terrain, the Traverse 38 S is built to handle everything a demanding day or multi-day tour throws at it. The outer material is a robust 75% recycled nylon, and around 60% of the fabric is solution-dyed, which reduces water and chemical usage as well as CO2 emissions in the manufacturing process. The comfort-contact back system keeps air moving against your back, while ergonomic shoulder straps and a wide hip belt spread the load evenly rather than letting it all pile onto your shoulders. A circumferential zip gives quick access to the main compartment, and there's a lid pocket, elasticated front pocket and bottom compartment for splitting up gear. Add a helmet net, pole holders, hip pocket and shoulder strap pocket, and this is a pack built specifically with mountaineering in mind, with a short back length for smaller frames.
If you've spent much time in the Alps, chances are you've seen a lot of folk sporting Ortovox kit. It's one of the biggest and most well-respected brands in Austria and Germany, backed up by the kind of mountain heritage that most companies can only dream of.
Ortovox started out more than 40 years ago making avalanche transceivers and other rescue equipment, and to this day they're still the go-to outfitters for mountain rescue teams, alpine guides and extreme mountaineers. Get your hands on an Ortovox pack or garment and you'll soon see why. The construction and quality of this stuff is on a whole different level, right down to tiny details like the buckles and merino mesh inserts. It's gear you can rely on day-in, day-out, in seriously spicy conditions – and thousands of mountain professionals genuinely do just that.
Ortovox kit has a very distinctive, technical look – and their background in mountain safety means they're big on bright colours that make you easy to spot in an emergency. But the materials bear closer inspection too. They're huge champions of the properties of natural wool, and they've been using it in performance mountain gear since the 80s – putting them streets ahead of other manufacturers who are only just rediscovering nature's original miracle fibre. As a bonus, this also makes their products very environmentally friendly, and the entire winter range is now climate neutral.
