Burliest mountaineering & ski touring backpack? @LaSportivaYT Challenger 28
James takes a closer look at La Sportiva's newest mountain pack, the Challenger 28 Backpack, built for big alpine days, ski tours, and technical missions in demanding terrain. Made from ultra-tough, lightweight Challenge Sailcloth Ultra fabric, the Challenger 28 is designed to handle ice and rock without weighing you down. The roll-top closure expands from 28 to 32 litres when you need extra space, while dual side access and a smart internal divider keep your kit organised on the move. James breaks down the key features, from the removable structured back panel and fully adjustable carry system to the versatile attachment options for ropes, skis, ice axes, and helmets, and explains who this pack is really for.
