Description

The Kume is the ideal pack for skiers and splitboarders chasing technical objectives in serious terrain. 

This updated version brings improvements in carry, durability and weight, and is offered in two new volumes optimized for complex ski missions, from done in a day to extended epics. Kume’s extended feature set includes a separate snow safety pocket, a vertical rope pocket with quick-access zip and a variety of ski carry options. Dual technical ice tools can be attached securely, and classic piolets can be carried internally, or in a quick deploy position. The carry system is low profile, provides great stability and features hip pockets and gear loops on the belt and lanyard clip points on the shoulder straps. 

Now in two fit options, the Kume is perfect for gear intensive, technical ski mountaineering.

Another hit for blue ice

This has become my quiver of one backpack for technical daytrips and shorter or nontechnical overnight trips, summer and winter. The pack is clearly well thought out and functions great as a climbing or skiing pack. The axe carry is great, and I was pleased to find that I can easily grab my tools without taking the pack off. The dual side zippers are great for accesibility, and I really like the rope storage partition, which most of the time I end up using to store food or hat and gloves. The avy gear pocket is great, very quick to access and on non skiing trips its a great spot to store a quick access layer. This pack gets the small details right, gear loops AND hip belt pockets on both sides, a little internal clip for attaching a wallet, the cinch strap is long enough to store a rope even when the bag is fully loaded, ski carry systems are low profile and removable (big upgrade moving from an osprey bag with tons of extra straps and mess with the ski carry system), the hooks instead of buckles are great and much more durable. Another thing that shocked me was how well the pack carried loads. Compared to my previous 42L osprey soelden bag the kume handles loads between 30-40lbs much better despite being a pound lighter, and is surprisingly comfortable even on long days. I've run this pack about as heavy as you can with only 40L, skis, ski boots, skins crampons, 2 tools, rope, full winter rack, lots of clothing, food, water etc, and it handled the weight well enough without having a frame so tall that it inhibits climbing. I do wish the hip belt had a bit more padding as it can cause some chafing over time, but I think this can be fixed with some easy modifications. Aside from this my only other concern is that when fully loaded the top isn't completely covered, making it more prone to getting wet when raining, this bag made out of a dyneema based material with a more waterproof top would be ideal, but regardless it still works extremely well.
