Fully-featured ski-touring pack The Ull backpack from Klättermusen is a deceptive bit of kit. At first glance it looks like a streamlined, no-frills ski-touring pack, but take a closer look and you'll realise it's absolutely stacked with clever features. Lightweight and ventilated, the top cinches and rolls for maximum compression, while the outside provides attachment points for poles, axes, skis or additional pouches. There's quick side access and an internal pocket for avalanche gear. A fully adjustable S-shaped harness with secure hip-belt and four-point sternum bungee mean that the Ull will fit you like a glove during long, active days on the hill or in the snow. It's also super-lightweight, and you can skim the grams even further by ditching the removable rigid foam back plate FEATURES DETAILS MATERIALS ECO CREDENTIALS FEATURES VIDEO THE BRAND Cinch closure, roll-top and compression straps Side zip for easy access Streamlined, body-hugging design Padded back with ventilation channels Attachment points for poles, ice axe or skis Webbing loops for attaching modular gear pouches from Klättermusen's Algir range Internal safety pocket for avalanche tools Removable rigid foam back plate Hydration system compatible Hip belt with safety closure Sternum bungee with 4-point attachment S-shaped shoulder straps for freedom of movement Made from 210-denier recycled polyamide, reinforced with Kevlar Water Column on main fabric: >10 000 mm Flourocarbon-free product: Yes Weight: 768 g Dimensions (H x W x D): 58 x 29 x 20 cm Capacity: 20L Max Weight: 8 kg Main Fabric Retina®: A synthetic fiber creating extraordinarily strong and versatile fabric 50% Pre-Consumer Recycled Polyamide 70D, 197 g/m² SkylCoat: Increased water resistance and humidity protection TPU Coating Reinforcement Hardur®: Offering stretch capabilities and softness 65% Polyamide 22% Polyester 13% Aramid 270 g/m2 – Bottom Eco Certified: Product is made with bluesign® Approved Fabrics Recycled Materials: Product is made with recycled polyamide and recycled polyester Sustainability through Longevity: Klättermusen hold themselves to the very highest standards for manufacturing and the quality of their materials. Every product is backed by a three year warranty The mountain town of Åre is kind of like a Swedish Chamonix. It’s home to the country’s biggest ski area, and the rugged terrain is criss-crossed by long-distance hiking paths, snowmobile trails and downhill biking tracks. It’s from this gnarly outdoor playground that cult Scandi gear brand, Klättermusen, emerged back in 1975. The company started out as a bunch of local climbers turning out DIY technical gear from a small workshop, and within ten years they’d already built up a rep for innovative and impeccably designed kit. These days outdoor manufacturers love to shout about their environmental credentials, but sustainability is nothing new for Klättermusen. It’s been part of their ethos since those early days of flares and prog rock, and they’ve always believed that good gear should be made to last. Their packs and clothing are designed to hold up reliably year after year in full-on Alpine and sub-Arctic conditions – and this is even more impressive when you consider that many of their fabrics incorporate recycled materials like discarded fishing nets and worn-out carpets. Pretty much no-one else is making outdoor gear of this quality, but somehow 'the Climbing Mouse' continues to scuttle slightly under the radar. Mention Klättermusen’s packs to any serious Swedish mountaineer and they either have one or want one, but outside Scandinavia it's still very much an ‘if you know, you know’ sort of a brand. Easy packable and good fit on your back, both running and biking -Jan, Verified Buyer
