Helly Hansen Backpack Alpine SAR

Our Alpine SAR 45 backpack has been designed for the NPA, the largest volunteer search and rescue organization in Norway. Guided by their feedback and field tests, we created a backpack that meets their demanding standards, and now it's available for your adventures. Made with 500D Nylon Oxford Kordura and 400D Nylon SD ripstop fabrics, the backpack offers exceptional resistance to the elements and tough terrains. The pack features a spindrift collar to protect your gear while allowing for overloading and quick access via a secure top-loading design. The main compartment can also completely open like a suitcase thanks to a J zipper. The backpack includes compartments to help organize everything from a first aid kit to your spare clothes. It is also equipped to carry avalanche safety tools, water pockets, and a system for carrying ice axes, and it has the ability to secure skis in an A-frame configuration. Adjustable, compatible with gloves, and equipped with an adjustable frame support and SOLAS reflectors for visibility, this pack is ready for you to hit the trails.
