Bigger days, bigger runs, bigger vibes. For longer ski or splitboard adventures, the Vivid 35 is a pack to keep you moving fast, looking good, and feeling safe.
Built on the successful Vivid 27, the Vivid 35 adds bigger backcountry volume, a roll-top entry and internal helmet carry options. An added internal wire frame back panel increases its load carrying capability with minimal added weight. Designed for backcountry safety, the Vivid 35 delivers fast access to avalanche tools thanks to an EYL luggage zipper from YKK, especially designed for durability and abrasion resistance. This first-in-the-industry innovation speeds access to shovel and probe when seconds count.
Soaking up the sun on a party ski tour, or on long days in the mountains, this pack keeps you moving fast, staying light and looking good.
Just received the 35l bag all in all its a very nice bag. The ice axe loops are a little loose so I just added an extra knot. No biggie. Fit is fantastic 5ft 7" 175lbs. Can't wait to get it out skiing this year. Nice job ...
This pack seems to have it all. I was unsure of the vertical zip for the rescue pocket but its an extremely smooth and easy to open zipper. As a splitboarder, I wish the vertical carry strap (one with small wiregate) was a bit longer. It doesn't necessarily fit the width of the snowboard so I am stuck having to A frame. Also been using this on longer alpine climbs and its great.
This is an awesome pack--it quickly became my go-to for 4x Hood summits (+1 on MSH) this spring. For a pack of its size it provides the most flexible/simultaneous ski carry, ice tool carry, any pocket access, main pocket and small pocket access. The chest harness pockets are reasonably good--although they could be bigger/stretchier in my opinion (a la a Salomon running vest), fitting a full size phone and case is a bit of a squeeze. The roll top is fantastic for sizing flexibility and easy access with gloves. This pack has even become my go-to for summer hikes/climbs.
This pack is my new GO-TO! Plenty of attachment placements for not only skis, but also trekking poles, ice aces and climbing gear. I do a lot of backcountry solo hikes and love that I don't have to take my bag completely off to access the interior of the bag. It makes changing out layers or grabbing an extra pair of gloves so much easier. I also love the fast pack straps on the shoulder straps. I'm able to tuck gels, snacks and a headlamp in one side and my cell phone in the other. Great design. Great quality. Great company. Sold on Pingora gear forever!
Really liking it so far. I have about 5 days with it and have no major complaints. The goggle pocket is a little tight sometimes but not a deal breaker. It carries weight much better than my Patagonia ski pack. I appreciate that the waist straps pull from the outside in, I'm not sure why all packs don't do this.
My wife has the Deuter Freerider Pro 34+, which is definitely one of the best bags on the market, and she's jealous of this one. The zippers are burly, the back panel zip is easier to access than in other packs, and the zip pockets on the shoulder straps are great for keeping snacks accessible. I tried the smaller volume version of this pack first since I'm not a huge fan of roll top closures, but it was a bit too small to fit extra layers, lunch, first aid kit, water bottles, and crampons. The 35 is perfect, and the roll top stays out of the way when you don't need it and is actually convenient (not excessively baggy) when you do. The only complaints: only one size (I'm a 6ft tall, 165lb male so I'm fine but not sure it would fit my wife), and despite having a nice pocket that could hold a hydration bladder, there's no hook to hold it and no opening for the hose to come out (though could technically just come out of the back panel zipper if you don't close it all the way). Overall still very satisfied since I switched to water bottles to prevent freezing.
I love this bag. I have never liked skiing with a backpack before but this one fits my body so well. I barely feel it while I am skiing and now I use it in and out of bounds! Plus I always get compliments on how cute the pink is!
