The XLP 290 EVO features upgrades to the exclusive XPRESS ski carrying system and a new fast access bag for crampons. Designed to accommodate two pairs of skis when necessary, it is also equipped with an isotherm sleeve for drinking tube, attachment points for a hydration bladder and a detachable inner pocket. Rather than attaching the metal hook directly to the skis over the right shoulder, the hook strap now wraps around the skis and the hook attaches to a loop on the shoulder strap making the system more secure.
