Outdoor Retailer: Osprey Kode Backcountry Ski Packs
02.03.09 | Author: Jason Mitchell
Long-revered, Osprey backpacks are some of the most sought after packs on the market today. A
core team of designers and hard-core outdoor enthusiasts have been building some of the most
comfortable and functional packs for the last 35 years. Osprey has had backcountry ski packs in
their lineup for quite some time, but this Fall, look for an entirely-new lineup of ski packs that you’ll
want to put on your wishlist.
While many backcountry ski packs are simply sized-down larger backpacks with ski-carrying
loops, the new Opsrey Kode series has been built with backcountry skiing in mind from the start.
After a quick look at them, I was very impressed. Here are a few details.

Without question, the Kode 30 is going to be a huge winner for Osprey. It’s just the right size and
has some excellent best-in-class features. I’m anxious to get my hands on one.
