Overview
Inspired by our ambassadors’ requests for a bigger climbing pack, the Ascensionist Pack 55L is a streamlined and ultrafunctional gear hauler designed for long approaches, lightweight trips and full-on expeditions into the alpine. It's built to withstand harsh conditions and includes climb-specific details that let you customize the pack for your next objective. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Features
- Recycled materials, webbings and TPU finish meet the hard demands of elite alpinism in the lightest weight possible; body fabric, hip belt and shoulder straps feature a durable water repellent (DWR) finish made without intentionally added PFAS
- Removable waistbelt, waistbelt padding and frame allow you to pare down the pack when needed; an easy-access top-cinch closure is glove-friendly
- Plenty of space for extra items with multiple lash points across the face, side panels and top of the pack; side compression straps hold even more gear or cinch down a half-full pack
- Full-sized top pocket holds essentials and can still be used even when the pack is fully loaded
- Modern ice-tool carry straps are adjustable, removable and can be repaired in the field
- Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor
