Back Panel Access
Full access to main compartment
Full access
At Raide we feel strongly that back panel access is a necessity. It is the only access method that gives full access to the main compartment. This quicker access saves significant time over a ski tour and is always accessible regardless of how you are carrying your skis or snowboard.
No Zip Stash
The LF 40L has 2 compartments that you can quickly stow gear in without touching a zipper.
Stowable Rolltop
Storm mode → Bluebird mode
Storm mode → bluebird mode
Roll up the rolltop for a weatherproof closure and get an extra comparment. If it goes blue and you don't want to deal with the roll top use the roll top stow clips to tuck it out of the way.
Ice Tool Carry
No snag ice tool carry
No snag ice tool carry
The ice tool carry keeps the picks of the tools fully enclosed and secure so they don't get snagged or fall out.
Helmet Carry
Secure and integrated compartment
Put your crampons in your helmet!
We had enough of the dingy, strap-on helmet carry systems. We have seen too many people lose them, and they aren't secure enough to put anything inside your helmet like crampons. We built our helmet carry right into the pack.
Avy Tool Compartment
Quick access to your tools
Quick access to your tools
When designing the LF 40L we wanted to prioritize quick access to your avy tools, but really quick access to your probe for snow depth checks. The avy tool access doubles as a pass through to the main compartment, and a waterproof divider keeps the main compartment snow free. The opening is made to accomodate shovels up to 11" in width.
Removable Frame
Frame distributes weight
Frame distributes weight
The aluminum frame runs the perimeter of the pack, dips behind your head, and down to the hip pads distributing the weight of the pack and providing rigidity for ski/snowboard carry. It weighs 80g and can be removed.
Back Panel Insert
Seat, splint, sled
Seat, splint, sled
Removable back panel insert weighs 110g and is made of a plastic layer and closed cell foam sewn together. It provides rigidity to the back panel and can be used to kneel or sit on, or for first aid applications like splinting or getting a patient off of the snow while awaiting rescue.
Glove Stash
Stow gloves on shoulder strap
Stow gloves on the shoulder strap
To build a faster pack we wanted to make the actions you do 50 times per tour quicker. One of these actions is taking your gloves off to touch your phone. With the LF 40L glove stash you can stow your gloves quickly.

Testimonial
"Just got back from a serious send. Best bag I've ever used."

Customer Reviews
I brought this bag with me to New Zealand. I put it through the wringer for 6 weeks: multi day over nighters, huge one day ascents with lots of ice climbing, bush-bashing approaches, even a little resort skiing…this bag can do it all. And it does it better than its competitors. The back panel access is revolutionary on a pack this light. It’s comfortable, streamlined, and intuitive. All the carries and features make sense immediately because they are so well designed. It’s got options that no other packs in its weight class offer, like multiple ski carry options and a helmet carry. I 100% recommend this pack.
You get what you pay for…this pack is insane. I’ve tried them all and think I finally bought the last pack I will need - until they come out with more sizes. Cant wait for the first hut trip of the season.
I have seen this pack come to life from its early design stages and I am so excited about the final product. The pack uses durable, top-of-the-line fabrics while also being extremely light. It has all the functionality needed for a big day (or days) in the backcountry without all the unnecessary bells and whistles.
