Vaude Steep Rock 38+8 Backpack - 2300+490cu in

Some grumpy-ass German dudes with mustaches engineered the Vaude Steep Rock 388 Backpack for climbers who dont mess around with weakness. Those Deutschers constructed this streamlined backpack entirely from tough Cordura nylon, so it laughs at coarse granite, burly bushwhacks, and gear-destroying slot canyons. Attachment points hold your ice tools/axe, and straps under the lid secure a rope. Low-profile padding on the shoulder straps and waist-belt provide comfort without bulk, and Vaudes E-link system lets you connect this pack to an Edelrid Harness (sold separately) for non-restricting climbing comfort.
