Designed over years of dreaming and testing packs on the market, the Off Piste is our first ski touring pack. We wanted to create a pack that could be used all season from daily touring to overnight hut trips, to alpine missions in the spring. Following our classic design philosophy, the Off Piste is as simple as possible without omitting the features needed to take you and your gear high and far.
The pack is a roll top design with a zipper pocket on top for a radio or tools. The production version of the pack will have a vertical zipper down the right side panel of the pack to allow access to the pack while it is still rolled. There is a CSM (formerly Hypalon) ice axe/tool cover on the center of the pack where the current San Util tag is.
If you want to hard carry a board, make sure to purchase our additional strap.
We are working on developing our own helmet net. In the meantime, any net that has g-hook connections will work with this pack (attaching to the vertical daisy chains).
Picking Fabrics:
BAGS IN STOCK DO NOT HAVE CUSTOMIZABLE OPTIONS
Like all things in life there are pros and cons of each fabric. When choosing fabrics, think about your daily use and pick accordingly. We are trying to expand our Cordura line as we get further into 2024, but the EPX and ULTRA lines will stay the same.

Hand Made Small Batch
All San Util Packs are made my our small team of seamstresses and seamsters (bet you didn't know we were called that) in our Winter Park facility. Come check out the showroom and watch the process of bags being manufactured in the USA.
Art Collabs
Over the past couple years, we have had the pleasure of working with local artists on some art collabs. We get the art printed on the same outdoor tech fabric that we sew our normal bags out of.
Water resistance
All of our fabrics are water proof with the exception of waxed canvas. Because our bags are sewn, non of them are fully waterproof (albeit very very water resistant).
