With hybrid And multi-use outdoor kit A booming outdoor brand aims to stand out with a new line of activity-specific ski backpacks.

Drawing on a wealth of design experience gained over more than 100 years in business, Swedish company Haglöfs has designed a collection of technically equipped and complete backpacks for activities ranging from ski resort at a longer distance ski touring travel.

They also listened to feedback and advice from ambassadors and other professional athletes to ensure the winter packs met all feature expectations.

• LATNJA 18 for speedy hikes for on- and off-piste adventures (€160/£130)

• Back-country freeride option, the SENSATE Pro 32 pack (€220/£180)
