Climbing bag

by Crystal L., Written on July 24, 2015
I use this primarily for carrying my rope, harness and shoes . I love how everything will fit into one space . I carry a 60 mm rope and it fits great along with everything else . I have it 4 stars because I wish there was a slight bit of flexibility in the bag for when I'm in a hurry and rush to get everything in. Also, a 4 because I wish there were two more small zipper pockets . I love the look and the front latch that brings the entire bag to a quick close in case I don't have time to pull on the elastic string to make it compact . Great price, works well for what I use the backpack for.

ascensionist 25L Pack

by Iain t., from WAIRARAPA, New Zealand Written on July 6, 2015
I bought this for a minimalist day pack - but something that would do for winter conditions, and also as a sole luggage piece for a weekend/conference that I could carry on a plane and beat the 7Kg limit.
I really like the simplistic design - just one big bag - with a little pocket in the lid for a few vitals you don’t want to have to rummage for. For a pack this size you don’t need a padded waist belt - just a simple belt to keep the pack snug. It also has an easily adjustable chest strap. The back is lightly padded but no ventilating absorbent padding - just the plain nylon the rest of the pack is made of. Personally I think they are a bit of a gimmick - your back will get sweaty - whatever. The value of the plain nylon - there is nothing to dry off.
The shoulder straps are nicely padded and should be adequate for anything you can cram in the pack - unless you are carrying rocks or gold bars!
Two ice axes can be carried and with a bit of shock cord you can add walking poles too. No space or provision for water bottles or hydration system - but I find I usually just chuck my water bottle in my pack anyway so no changes there for me. Adventure racers may not like that as you just have to stop - for me these days thats a bonus!
Genuine downsides are really not there - I would suggest using a dry bag - no seam sealing so stuff could get wet. I do think a minimalist price would go well with the bag - I get that miniaturising electronics is expensive - I don’t think the same ...
