The Challenger 18 is engineered for everything from fast alpine missions to ultra-distance running adventures.

Inspired by trail running packs, its breathable shoulder straps feature integrated storage pockets and include two 500 ml flasks, allowing you to carry up to one liter of water comfortably and efficiently. External pockets keep folding poles and essential gear within easy reach when every second counts. The 18-liter main compartment features a roll-top closure that minimizes bulk while providing flexible storage. Fully taped seams protect your equipment from the elements, ensuring your gear stays dry even in heavy rain. Additional features include an integrated safety whistle and a stowable ice axe attachment system, making the pack equally at home on technical alpine terrain.
