The Blue Ice Taka 30 takes Blue Ice's fast-and-light ski touring pack and adds the volume for bigger ski mountaineering days. Longer objectives, technical descents or trips where you are carrying a bit more kit: this is the Taka for them.

The quick ski carry system and easy-access crampon pocket carry over from the Taka range, so you can transition between skinning, booting and skiing without removing the pack. A rear back-panel opening gives full access to the main compartment, it is hydration bladder compatible, and helmet and ice axe carry are built in. Choose the 30 when you are carrying a bit more kit for a longer day but still want a lightweight, purpose-built pack.
