The Salewa Alptrek 65 is a large, comfortable trekking backpack made from lightweight, highly abrasion-resistant nylon, featuring a fully adjustable carrying system and a high capacity of 65 liters, designed for long hikes and extended expeditions, such as the high trails of the Dolomites.

5. Salewa Women's Pedroc Pro 20
Speed hiking means for us the perfect combination of fast movement and inner peace. We train for and in the mountains, but always follow our own pace – without time pressure and without stress.
To be well-equipped for such fast speed hiking tours, we have designed the technical Pedroc Pro 20: The Dry Back Contact EVA inserts feature generous ventilation channels, reducing the contact areas between the backpack and your back. This construction allows for ideal air circulation, keeping your back dry even during strenuous ascents. For a better close-to-body fit that doesn’t shift during dynamic speed hiking tours, the shoulder straps are integrated directly into the back system. Additionally, the ergonomically shaped and split shoulder straps further enhance breathability and freedom of movement, while the thoughtful cutouts reduce weight.
The Pedroc Pro 20 backpack is made from our specially developed 70 Denier Duralite material: The double ripstop nylon construction is particularly characterized by its high abrasion and tear resistance while being very lightweight. As part of the SALEWA Committed collection, the backpack is equipped with a water-repellent PFC-free DWR treatment, which contains no fluorocarbons.
During rapid ascents and descents, the foldable hip belt and the one-hand compression system, which allows for compressing the backpack volume with just one hand, ensure stability and an ideal fit. The Pedroc Pro 20 for women is a SALEWA Committed product and features a low ecological footprint.
This innovative, versatile backpack with a volume of 20 liters is the perfect companion from the city to the summit – and back.

8. Salewa Alp Trainer L Backpack Da
We present the Alp Trainer 20, our functional backpack for shorter hiking tours in the mountains. It features our new Dry Back Air carrying system, which is designed to keep your back dry. With 26% less contact area than our previous designs, it reduces body contact without compromising load control. The integrated ventilation system with breathable materials enhances airflow to your back. After 15 minutes of activity, the new Dry Back Air system lowers the temperature on your back by 1.5 °C compared to our previous Air Fit system.
Our lightweight, split shoulder straps also reduce body contact, allowing for greater perspiration and comfort, improved air circulation, and mobility. Additionally, you can securely tighten the backpack with the Twin Compression System (TCS) to carry the load close to your body and move confidently.

Features include a quick-access front pocket, side mesh pockets for easy access, a rain cover, and attachment options for trekking poles.

9. Salewa Sella Tour 30L Rucksack
A versatile, technical, and comfortable 30-liter backpack for ski touring and ski mountaineering – designed with a narrower fit for women.
The Sella Tour 30L was developed in close collaboration with professional female and male skiers. The centerpiece of this ski touring backpack is our innovative Dry Back Contact carrying system: it comfortably hugs the body, providing high stability and optimal load control. At the same time, the carrying system remains extremely breathable thanks to the technical back panel. The robust main material, made from 100% recycled Rain Robic nylon, is both water- and tear-resistant.
Ski touring-specific features include a separate safety compartment for avalanche gear and other equipment, as well as various stable attachment options – for example, for skis or ice axes. The main compartment is quickly accessible via the all-around main compartment access at the back, and a third zipper facilitates direct access to items in the lower part of the backpack.
10. Salewa Mountain Trainer L Backpack Da
The Mountain Trainer 2 features a body-hugging Dry Back carrying system and split shoulder straps for improved breathability and plenty of freedom of movement. The narrow 22-liter version has a top zipper and an easily accessible front pocket.
The Dry Back Contact carrying system ensures that the load is carried close to the body while keeping your back dry. This is achieved by reducing the contact area and incorporating 3D ventilation channels, which provide greater evaporation per cm² than traditional designs and lower the temperature in the middle back area. The hip belt fully wraps around the hips and includes an additional gear loop for climbing carabiners as well as a convenient zippered pocket.
For added stability and improved control, our Twin Compression System (TCS) features an upper and lower compression zone that allows for easy volume regulation. This way, you can always stabilize the load centrally. The lightweight split shoulder straps give your arms plenty of freedom of movement and further reduce the contact area, allowing for less sweating and better air circulation.
This backpack is made for the mountains: it offers daisy chain loops, attachment options for trekking poles, a rain cover, easily accessible mesh side pockets, a pocket integrated into the hip belt, and other functional details. The Mountain Trainer 2 is made using sustainable production methods from robust, recycled 210 DEN ripstop nylon and is a SALEWA Committed product.
