Ortovox Rider

Compact, versatile freeride backpack with integrated back protector from Ortovox. This guiding principle was also central to the development of the Free Rider: the descent-oriented backpack for freeriders features an SPS Flex back protector that combines the back system and protector into a flexible unit. Made up of eight pads that remain pleasantly flexible even in cold conditions, the TÜV-certified protector adapts to the body and absorbs impacts. We use SAS-TEC as the protective foam. After external forces, the viscoelastic foam returns to its original shape after a short time. Unlike other cushioning materials, it is also multi-impact capable (impacts do not destroy the protectors) and responds even to low force impacts. The cushioning occurs almost linearly, which reduces strain.
