Faravid SKADI X Frame MIL Olive

Skaði, in Norse mythology, was one of the gods who can be described as the goddess of winter warfare. This is the backpack that will dominate all others in the coldest climates in the world. The inspiration for this design came from the best — the Scandinavians and their specialists in Arctic warfare.

Skaði is purpose-built for missions in environments typical of arctic warfare. With a capacity of + 130 liters, it can carry everything an operator needs for extended operations in the harshest environments.

Cold Skills, with its inherent experience from operations in Arctic environments, spent a long time carefully listening to other experts who not only survive in- 30 to -50°C but can fight and operate effectively in these types of operations. We listened to them, and now we present to you: Skaði, the goddess of winter warfare.

The top lid can be converted into a daypack/grab bag. There is a QR system (quick release) for situations when operators must quickly take cover if they come under contact (for example, in deep snow).

The Skaði pack is equipped with a GP pouch for a Harris Radio G117, G160 medical pouches, etc., depending on the operator’s role in the unit.

The internal frame system and hip belt design helps reduce fatigue during longer movement. This is the ideal pack for LRRP/SR missions in the arctic.

Size XS/S is the size for those with a back length of XS (350 mm) and S (400 mm). See picture Measure the distance from the top of the hip bone to the top of the shoulder.
