Customer Reviews
This might be the nicest backpack I’ve ever owned. It weighs the same as a much smaller pack, yet I can fit everything needed for a multi-day climb, including bivy gear and a double rack. The side pockets are perfect for snacks, sunglasses, etc and are easy to access without taking the pack off, and the rear pocket can stretch a huge amount, so there’s always room for more stuff. Some suggestions for future iterations: include an option for a padded waist belt, include a port for a hydration bladder hose, and change the cut *slightly* so it’s easier to access a chalk bag in the rear.
This pack works best as a traditional ultra light backpacking pack as well as a great mountaineering pack. It has just enough pockets and attachments for these pursuits. For an on route rock climbing pack it’s maybe not the best design but you can still make it work however I wouldn’t want to be pulling this things through chimneys and doing too much real climbing movement with it on.
But for the applications that I mentioned earlier this thing is sweet.
I’ve used this pack almost every day for the last two years. It’s my main work pack, my ski pack, and a decent light backpacking bag. It’s been overloaded with climbing gear and recording equipment. I think I’ll get a few more years out of it and I’ll get another one when this finally dies.
What we loved about the Ultralight Backpack: water resistancy, which makes it the perfect backpack for quick alpine missions. In the Beartooth mountains we get a lot of "surprise" storms and keeping gear and extra layers dry makes our backcountry ventures safer. The roll-top is easy to use and adds water protection to the pack. A highlight is the bright color of the pack - perfect for guiding - guests appreciate good visibility. The outside pockets are great for wet crampons, snacks, water and quick access gear. They compress well when empty, but accommodate larger items like camp shoes easily.
I got one of the wranglers for myself and took it on a backpacking trip in Moab and loved it. Definitely all good things from me even with having to carry a lot more weight than I usually would backpacking with the extra water.
