Ultra X-Alps Skywalk Rucksack

Lightness and Maximum Comfort for Hike & Fly Competitions

The Skywalk Ultra X-Alps backpack, inspired by the design of a race vest, is specifically designed for ultralight paragliders such as the X-ALPS and SAGE, as well as the Range X-Alps harness and Tapa X-Alps parachute. Developed for athletes participating in the Red Bull X-Alps 2023, the most demanding Hike & Fly race, this bag offers exceptional comfort, perfectly contouring to the back while providing maximum freedom of movement.

Weighing just 365g and featuring a minimalist design, the Skywalk Ultra X-Alps backpack allows easy access to storage and provides well-thought-out functional features. It’s the ideal choice for extended Hike & Fly mountain adventures.

For added durability, the bottom of the bag is made from ROBIC nylon, a abrasion-resistant material. The rear panel is covered in TPU to protect the paraglider from sweat, while the exterior nylon mesh pockets offer enhanced flexibility and elasticity.

Key Features of the Ultra X-Alps Paragliding Backpack

• Carrying system: The wide shoulder straps ensure ideal weight distribution and anatomically fit the body. The hip belt prevents uncomfortable bouncing while running.
• Split shoulder straps: They improve arm freedom of movement, particularly useful in technical terrain.
• Load control: The load control feature allows for individual adjustment of the center of gravity to suit personal needs.
• Gear loops: Small loops on the shoulder straps are perfect for attaching sunglasses or securing small accessories. A small soft water bottle can also be fastened here with an elastic loop.
• Chest straps: They keep the shoulder straps together and can be adjusted to different heights.
• Front pockets: The two expandable front pockets provide space for a soft water bottle for quick hydration, as well as essential items to keep within reach.
• Exterior pockets: The three elastic mesh pockets offer perfect storage space for additional gear that’s quickly accessible.
• Key pocket: The small lockable compartment is ideal for safely storing keys, credit cards, and cash.
• Main compartment: The asymmetrical zipper makes closing the bag easier and enhances comfort. Thanks to its practical roll-top design, the volume can be adjusted as needed.
• Gear loops: The four external loops allow for secure attachment of additional gear. Elastic loops also allow for attaching trekking poles, for example.
• Helmet net: The helmet can be easily attached to the outside of the bag to free up space inside. The helmet net quickly attaches to the gear loops for optimal bag organization. It’s recommended to place the helmet at the top of the bag for the best weight balance and ideal shape. However, using the helmet net may slightly affect the load control system's balance.
