The Arc'teryx Quintic 16 Backpack is the most compact freeride-specific pack in the Arc'teryx range, purpose-built for backcountry skiers and snowboarders who demand a low-profile, weather-resistant solution for fast, technical lines. Crafted from a combination of 420d Invista HT Cordura plain weave with a 90g PU coating and C0 DWR, plus 210d SD HD white non-cold PU with FC0 DWR, the Quintic 16 offers impressive durability while remaining lightweight and PFAS-compliant. The front panel and top pocket feature N400r-AC2 nylon ripstop with taped seams for targeted weather and abrasion resistance. Internally, a polyethylene sheet and flexible steel frame ensure excellent load support and weight distribution, making it ideal for high-output alpine adventures. The pack's construction also incorporates bluesign approved lining materials, reflecting Arc'teryx's continued commitment to sustainable and ethical manufacturing practices.

Designed for freeride skiing and snowboarding, the Quintic 16 provides the essential storage and stability required for aggressive off-piste descents and fast laps in sidecountry terrain. Its streamlined 16-litre volume encourages disciplined packing while offering enough space for avalanche safety gear, layers, and food. The compact profile hugs the body for improved balance and stability, reducing swing and interference on dynamic descents. Its weather-resistant build keeps your gear protected from powder, wind, and slush, even in whiteout conditions. This makes the Quintic 16 an excellent choice for heli-assisted day missions, lift-accessed powder stashes, and fast-paced skin track efforts when every gram and every second count. Lightweight yet tough, it's ideal for those who ride hard, move fast, and trust their kit completely.

The Quintic 16 is packed with smart features tailored for mountain use. A removable Coarc Helmet Carry accessory allows you to easily secure your helmet to the outside of the pack without sacrificing internal space. External lash points and intuitive pocket design keep essentials organised and accessible, even with gloves on. A dedicated internal sleeve provides secure storage for avalanche tools, while the streamlined profile ensures a snug fit for better performance on the descent. Every detail of the Quintic 16 has been thoughtfully designed to balance functionality, durability, and freeride efficiency. Whether you're hitting steep lines or chasing fresh turns from first chair to last, this pack delivers the reliability and minimalist design that serious ski mountaineers demand.
