LF 30L
LF 30L
The perfect balance between weight, features, comfort and durability, the LF 30L leaves no feature out while coming in at very light weight. The goal with the LF 30L wasn't to design the lightest pack, but a light pack with features to elevate your flow in the mountains such as being able to take your avalanche tools out without taking your pack off, easy access pockets and more.

Raide packs prioritize quick access to your avalanche tools, and really quick access to your probe while also improving the space efficiency and bringing the tools closer to your center of mass.
The probe can be accessed without taking your pack off for quicker rescues and more efficient snow study.
The shovel can be accessed by dropping one shoulder strap. The pocket is made to accommodate shovels up to 11.5" in width and most large shovel handles.
By putting the probe and shovel handle on the side panels of the pack we maximize space efficiency and bring the weight closer to your center of mass.
The LF 30L uses fabrics made of UHMWPE (the highest strength to weight ratio yarn on the planet) in different constructions.
- The main fabric is Challenge Ultra 200TX which is 2x more tear-resistant and 8x more abrasion-resistant than competing ultralight fabrics.
- The rolltop is a 50d nylon ripstop with UHMWPE cross-ply.
The only way to get access to all of your gear regardless of how you are carrying your skis. We think back panel access is essential to any backcountry ski pack built for moving efficiently in the mountains.
The back panel is one of the packโs biggest innovations. We developed a molded composite insert with anti-bulge ribs that lock its shape, even when the pack is maxed out. Itโs stiff horizontally to keep pressure off your spine and maintain airflow as designed, yet flexes vertically for easy access and natural movement.
The LF 30L has a front stash pocket with drainage to separate your wet gear like skins from your dry gear.
Tired of flimsy clip-on systems, we built our helmet carry directly into the pack. The integrated design locks your helmet in place, and is strong enough to carry crampons inside of the helmet. Positioned high to stay clear of ski and snowboard carries, it also allows the pack to lay flat on its front.
The ice tool carry keeps the picks of your tools fully enclosed and secure so they don't get snagged or fall out. The ice tool carry is designed so that you can pull an axe out without taking your pack off.
Raide packs are designed to carry skis in four different ways: diagonal ski, skimo, a-frame, and vertical snowboard.
An aluminum frame enables you carry heavier loads comfortably and creates a secure anchor point for any of the ski & snowboard carries.
The aluminum frame runs the perimeter of the pack and is sewn into the back panel zipper, so when the back panel is closed it matches the shape of the frame. The frame weighs 80g and can be removed.
A pass-through zipper to the main compartment lets you stash layers fast, unobstructed by the helmet carry.

โThe Raide LF 40L is very interesting-looking pack thatโs built with high-end materials and lots of features and little details that seem well thought out.โ

โA new brand called Raide just made one of the best backcountry ski packs ever.โ

โFor now, if I was buying a new do-it-all pack for this winter, this is the pack I would purchase.โ

โI do my best to avoid certain overused, clichรฉ words and phrases like โgroundbreakingโ when Iโm writing reviews like this. But in the case of the Raide LF 40L, I think that term is justified.โ

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
We research and develop for steep terrain. We believe that the best gear isnโt dependant on any one variable, like being the lightest, but a combination of style, weight, durability, and functionality to address a certain need.
Customer Reviews
its light weight, great design makes it nice for a camera bag while im hiking, and the rest of it just makes it perfect for hiking even without a camera. I've used it now on 3 hikes in BC and have loved it. Its gone through a bit of snow, rain, and sunshine! 11/10
I've been blown away by the versatility of this pack. It's light but functional and once you're tuned into the functionality it really speeds things up. As a ski guide, I find the probe and shovel access to be amazing features that I use often. The shovel access in particular is great and can also fit a short ski mountaineering axe (Petzl Gully, etc) inside for tram rides, etc. The back panel access is a critical feature for long, steep, boot packs and the ski pouch and helmet holder are low profile and quick and easy to use. Only thing I would improve is the shoulder strap padding - it would be nice to have a touch more padding with a fully loaded guide pack. Overall, it's my favorite ski pack and the best ski touring pack I've ever owned - and I've owned plenty! Thanks for building a great pack Raide.
Caveat is that I havenโt used the pack in the field but have loaded and unloaded a few times with my gear. Itโs a very impressive pack with little pleasant surprises all over. Itโs well made and the materials are premium. Canโt wait to use it.
sรคmtliche funktionen sind durchdacht und in perfektion umgesetzt!
itโs an epic pack. Would highly recommend as a splitboarder. You can tell a lot of thought was put into the pack and its design, specifically by someone who spends time in the mountains โ๏ธ
