Jury Statement

"The Free Rider by Ortovox is a solid freeride-backpack in three different sizes. The backpack has an elastic hipbelt which keeps the weight of the pack close to your back. Additionally you have the opportunity to compress the backback itself without taking it off your back. So the Free Rider is THE backpack which does not disturb you shredding the powder."
