Ultimate Direction used technologies from their popular running vests and fastpacks to give skimo racers a minimalist, reliable ski pack to enhance efficiency and speed in the mountains. The Skimo Adventure Vest embodies the light and fast attitude, with a minimalist design and enough carrying capacity for long races and big objectives.The top entry pocket allows you to access the contents of your pack without taking it off, and nylon compression straps let you cinch down the pack to whatever size you've filled it to be. The secure crampon pocket has light padding to protect you from your own spikes, and there's a dedicated pocket that holds a 30-meter rope.
