The opinion of Aventure Nordique
The Explore 20 from French brand Arva is a 20-litre backpack, perfect for short trips. Particularly well designed, this bag is ideal for off-piste winter use, but can accompany you in all seasons. Made from recycled polyamide, it is durable.
Compact, the bag can be carried both on and off the slopes.
The bags in the Explore range are equipped with numerous features:
- A practical U-shaped closure around the main compartment allows you to see the contents of the bag at a glance.
- Quick access without removing the bag to a separate compartment at the base of the bag. If more space is needed, the removable partition can be removed. Handy for crampons, climbing skins, gloves, etc.
- A pocket on the left shoulder strap of the bag that can hold a 500 ml flask.
- Adjustable hip belt and chest strap, with whistle.
- Ice axe holder or walking stick holder
- 2 systems for securing skis: a quick diagonal system that does not require removing the skis and a lateral system with straps. Option to secure a snowboard, splitboard or snowshoes.
- A front pocket for quick access to safety equipment with space for a shovel and probe.
- A small, padded and secure pocket for small items.
- A passage for a water pouch.
Carrying comfort is not neglected either, with a ventilated back and thick foam padding.
