Best climbing daypack?
|
What is the best climbing daypack? One that can be taken to the gym, taken to the crag, maybe even worn casually. No more than $120. Not huge either. |
|
I think there's a ton of different options and everyone will have a different opinion. I like the Petzl Bug and it's $60 |
|
I really really like the Granite Gear Arete. They don't make it anymore but a few places are still selling it for around $100. Its light, durable, and simple. Fits what I need for day cragging whether its ice climbing or trad. |
|
What size pack are you looking to get? |
|
Does anyone have anything negative to say about the black diamond RPM? |
|
The BD packs seem to be almost universally praised. |
|
For $115 the Cold Cold World Valdez is one of my all-time favorite packs. |
|
May be bigger than what you're looking for but, I'm a big fan of the REI Pinnacle. |

Not huge either.A little more information about what you're planning on carrying would go a long way. But in the mean time, if you want the absolute most bomb-proof pack I've ever seen* - check out this: arcteryx.com/Product.aspx?E… * I own a slightly smaller version |

You should by my barely used shield haulpack. Just the right size for a day at the crags, you can haul it on your multipitch adventures and with some more scratches you get automatic street cred while you take it to the gym or school. You buy now, its good deal. |

I have and love the Black Diamond Magnum. |

One of my regular partners got one based on my recommendation and found it very uncomfortable. Like footwear and a lot of other things, personal fit is important. |

No bells or whistles (except for the helmet holder on the top). It's a little stiff and you can easily shove a 60M rope inside with a full rack and a few ham sammies. |
