Product details

For lift-accessed sidecountry laps at Big White or short tours on day trips from Kelowna, you want your avalanche gear close at hand without a big pack throwing off your balance. The Arc'teryx Quintic 16 is Arc'teryx's most compact, stable freeride-specific pack. It keeps your safety tools and essentials close without restricting movement in technical terrain. An S-curve back panel gives it the closest possible fit, and a light, flexible frame keeps your centre of gravity solid. The weather-resistant nylon stands up to abrasion, a fleece-lined goggle pocket at the top protects your lenses, and several access points let you reach gear without taking the pack off.

FAQ

Q1: How do I find the right size Arc'teryx Quintic 16?
The Quintic 16 comes in one size, with an S-curve back panel and a harness that wraps your body for a close, stable fit. It measures 50 cm long, 28 cm wide and 18 cm deep. Since it's one size, try it on with your ski layers to check how it sits on your back and shoulders. Our staff can help you adjust it in-store.

Q2: Is the Quintic 16 compatible with avalanche safety gear?
Yes. The fully padded front pocket is designed to organize and protect a shovel, probe and tools. The pack also carries skis or a snowboard diagonally or vertically, and the included Coarc™ accessory secures a helmet to the outside of the pack.

Q3: Should I choose the Quintic 16 or the Quintic 28?
Choose the Quintic 16 for lift-accessed sidecountry laps and short outings where you mainly need avalanche tools, a layer and a few essentials. Choose the Quintic 28 for full touring days, when you'll also carry skins, extra insulation, food and water. The 28 also comes in Short and Regular back lengths, while the 16 is one size. Our staff can help you compare both in-store.
