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.

Avy Tool Pockets
Quick access to your tools
Quick access to your tools

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.

Materials
Ultra 200TX
Ultra 200TX

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.

Back Panel Access
Full access to main compartment
Full access to main compartment

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.

Back Panel Design
Breathable, durable, stiff
Breathable, durable, stiff

The back panel is one of the packโ€™s biggest innovations. We developed a molded composite insert with anti-bulge ribs that lock its shape, even when the pack is maxed out. Itโ€™s stiff horizontally to keep pressure off your spine and maintain airflow as designed, yet flexes vertically for easy access and natural movement.

Stash Pocket
Fast transitions
Fast transitions

The LF 30L has a front stash pocket with drainage to separate your wet gear like skins from your dry gear.

Helmet Carry
Integrated helmet carry
Integrated helmet carry

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.

Ice Tool Carry
No-snag ice tool carry
No-snag ice tool carry

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.

Ski Carry
Modular ski/board carry
Modular ski/board carry

Raide packs are designed to carry skis in four different ways: diagonal ski, skimo, a-frame, and vertical snowboard.

Removable Frame
Frame distributes weight
Frame distributes weight

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.

Top Access Zipper
Easy access to the top
Easy access to the top

A pass-through zipper to the main compartment lets you stash layers fast, unobstructed by the helmet carry.

โ€œThe Raide LF 40L is very interesting-looking pack thatโ€™s built with high-end materials and lots of features and little details that seem well thought out.โ€

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

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

We research and develop for steep terrain. We believe that the best gear isnโ€™t dependant on any one variable, like being the lightest, but a combination of style, weight, durability, and functionality to address a certain need.

this is now my only backpack

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

Amazing & versatile ski mountaineering pack

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.

Very thoughtful and well made pack.

Caveat is that I havenโ€™t used the pack in the field but have loaded and unloaded a few times with my gear. Itโ€™s a very impressive pack with little pleasant surprises all over. Itโ€™s well made and the materials are premium. Canโ€™t wait to use it.

Awesome pack

itโ€™s 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 โœŒ๏ธ
