Why is the REVERSLIDE backpack sled innovative?
A backpack that transforms into a sled on the way down... a product never before seen on the market, which responds to a winter sports activity that deserves to be better known: sledding! For ascent, shoulder straps attach to the shell, so you can put the bag on your back and hike in comfort. For the descent, the straps are stored in the bag, and a handle is added to the shell to become a real sled! Never before seen!
