The sleek and stylish Osprey Kode 30 ski pack keeps the tools you need to ply the lift-served backcountry.

  • Pack carries a snowboard vertically and skis diagonally or A-frame style, whichever best suits your needs
  • Zippered back-panel access to main compartment lets you get to your gear quickly and easily, even with skis or a snowboard attached
  • Snow-shedding back panel reduces snow buildup while the bag sits in the snow, and an HDPE framesheet offers responsive support when pushing up an incline
  • EVA foam harness features an insulated hydration sleeve and an adjustable sternum strap; EVA foam hipbelt is easy to secure with the ErgoPull closure
  • Panel-loading pack opens to a large internal compartment and supplies enough space for snow tools; includes sleeves for snow probes/shovel handle
  • Internal wet and dry pockets separate your snow safety gear from your extra clothing and food
  • Internal sleeve protects goggles from scratches
  • Loop keeps an ice axe securely attached
  • Compression straps stabilize your load and double as carrying straps for a snowboard or snowshoes
  • Padded hipbelt pockets provide quick access to energy bars, power gels, lip balm and other small yet important items

  • Small: 1,600 cu.in./3 lbs.

    Comments about Osprey Kode 30 Ski Pack:

    I just returned this pack after days of consideration. Cool factor is pretty high but the user friendliness of this pack is very questionable. You better not want to get anything out of this pack very quickly unless you are in a hurry to get your goggles. You have to unbuckle the load lifters to get into the back panel, 2 other buckles to fully open you avy saftey gear pocket...you best practice getting to your saftey gear before heading out! On a positive note you could carry almost anything with this pack; Skis, snowboard, shoes, ice tools, i guess you could use the helmet carry for a rope if needed... I just could not get comfortable getting into everything and loading externaly was not a simple task at all. Seems like all of these pack manufacturers come so close to getting it but just miss the mark for me!

      Comments about Osprey Kode 30 Ski Pack:

      The question everyone would be asking is how this pack compares to the Switch 26 that it replaces.

      The positives- pack now has load lifters that make it a better carry than the old pack. The ski carry system is a bit more bombproof, although the old was no slouch either. Pack now has a dedicated goggle pocket.

      The negatives: (1) No helmet compartment anymore; there is a helmet carry mesh contraption, but it is fiddly to use and snow will get in your helmet in bad weather. Not a big deal for touring, as you will be wearing your helmet in bad weather, but for resort skiing with Switch 26, you could walk from your car to the lodge in our hat and have your helmet nice and dry. (2) The bottom compression strap doubles as a ski carry, so you cannot compress the pack tight enough if your load is very light. Again a minus for resort skiing, Switch 26 compressed to a totally flat shape. (3) The hipbelt pocket does not have the additional zippered little compartment anymore. That was perfect for car keys (this is cost-cutting by Osprey, regrettable). (4) The access is now much more fiddly-yu need to unbuckle compression straps to get to the dry compartment. and you need to unbuckle the ski carry to get to the avy tools. First affects convenience, second affects safety. Both are not good.
