Empanada Pack
The most stable purpose-built waist pack for climbing.
Carries everything you actually need — without sag, swing, or accidental unclipping.
At just 5.2 oz (147 g) with ~3.3 L capacity, the Empanada Pack holds phone, gloves, snacks, screws, tags, headlamp, or daily essentials while staying tight and centered on your waist.
Why it climbs better
- Austria Alpin pass-through buckle: a true safety-style buckle that cannot release under load or movement
- Stabilized high-ride waist geometry: the belt routes behind the phone pocket and around the bag body, locking the load high on the waist instead of sagging onto your butt
- Compression-controlled volume: a main compression strap cinches the bag flat when partially loaded and expands when full
- Waterproof phone pocket: external weather-resistant zip pocket protects electronics while keeping them instantly accessible
- Modular chalk compatibility: attach your own chalk bag to run a single unified waist system
Materials
- EPX 200 (recycled sailcloth): vibrant colors made from 100% recycled laminate — durable, structured, sustainable
- Ultra 200X (UHMWPE): the lightest and toughest laminate available for alpine use

It easily fits snacks, wind breaker, phone, knife, pint size thermos, and more. So voluminous, yet tucks out of the way. I use it for both climbing (out of the way in back) and for backpacking (out of the way in front). So much better than a fanny pack!
Love using this pack for carrying a little more than what would fit in pockets and a little less than a backpack. Plus it saves the back sweat and overhang-sandbagging of carrying a normal pack! The bright colors pop nicely in photos too. Cat approved 5/5
This empanada waist pack made multi-pitch climbing so much easier. I've always preferred a back pack to having a bunch of stuff dangling off my harness, but on long or challenging multi-pitches carrying a backpack sucks. This pack solves that problem, sits like a chalk bag and I hardly noticed it is there, and is doesn't dangle/ change my balance. It fits a puffy jacket, small first aid kit, snacks, headlamp, 1/2L of water and a phone, something I have never seen another bag like it accomplish.
This pack has changed the way I pack for most multi pitch routes. Most "harness bags" out there aren't quite big enough, making do you end up with 3-4 dangling pods to get everything you need. This pack fits a first aid kit, food, jackets, headlamp and phone, giving me everything I need for most 6-12 pitch routes!
