Built to take you further

With a 40L volume and an optimized weight of 2,350g, the EXPLORE 40 is the perfect ally for long mountain tours and multi-day hut trips. Designed for ski tourers and splitboarders, this pack offers diagonal and A-frame ski carry options, a helmet holder, two ice axe loops, and the ARVA REACTOR system – the most compact and high-performing double airbag for maximum safety in the mountains.

Engineered for comfort and endurance, the 3D-FIT system ensures a personalized fit, while compression straps stabilize the load on the descent. Pockets are designed for intuitive and fast access to your gear. A dedicated front pocket holds your safety equipment, a large back zipper offers full access to the main compartment, and a bottom compartment gives you easy access to skins, gloves, crampons or a bottle – without removing the pack.

With its 40L capacity, this pack lets you carry everything you need for multiple days in the mountains – from rope, ice axe and spare clothes to a meal for enjoying the summit view.
