The zipper on the back and a smart toploader opening from the carrying side allow quick, practical access to the main compartment. Skis and splitboard can be tied on in three different ways. Included webbing straps with locking side buckles allow snowboard and snowshoes to be secured vertically to the front. Organization is super easy either through the quick open lid pocket or the generous 270° zipper on the back. All pockets and compartments are easily accessible even with gloves on, and the gear loops are removable. Touch points are highlighted in color. The Couloir is super comfortable to wear, offers easy fixation of gear and is helmet and hydration system compatible. The Couloir Women‘s is available in 30L and 40L volumes and impresses with a shorter back length and shorter shoulder straps. All fabrics are recycled, Oekotex 100 certified and PFC free.
The ergonomics of the backpack is designed for female body characteristics, especially the narrower shoulders. Often advantageous especially for women: thanks to the wide cross-section of the couloir is compactly close to the back and does not protrude above the head.

At first sight of the Couloir, internal and external testers (mountain guides, alpinists) were somewhat irritated by the back opening and the „upside down“ toploader opening. For lack of samples, we had to reclaim these in part. A quote (Norbert Blank, https://bilder-botschaften.de/image): „Whether ski touring, steep gullies, freeriding or photo shooting: The Couloir is simply the best and most practical ski backpack you have ever developed. Everything is super to use, even with thick gloves. The camera, snack or equipment is super fast unpacked and stowed again. The super practical holders for ice axes and skis, the extra compartment for avalanche beacon equipment, and and .... simply super.“
