The Blue Ice Kume 40L is a 40-litre technical pack for skiers and splitboarders chasing serious ski mountaineering objectives. It is engineered around carry comfort, durability and low weight, and it comes in two back lengths so the fit is genuine rather than a compromise.

The body is a rugged mix of 420D Robic and N6.6 ripstop nylon, PFC-free and Bluesign-approved, and the whole pack weighs 1005g. The low-profile carry system adds hip belt pockets, gear loops and lanyard points without extra bulk. On complex days the dedicated features do the heavy lifting: a separate snow safety pocket keeps shovel and probe accessible, a vertical rope pocket with quick-access zip swallows a rope without digging through the main compartment, and dual ice tool attachments plus an internal quick-deploy option cover everything from classic piolets to technical tools. Multiple ski carry systems round it off. Choose the Kume when the objective involves a rope, tools and avalanche kit as well as skis.
