On a steep trail in the Rockies or facing the icy walls of Fitz Roy, the Speed 40 mountaineering backpack by Black Diamond proves to be your trusted ally. Designed for climbers who favor a fast style, this backpack combines lightness and durability with its new BD “X-rip” 210d Nylon with UTS™ coating. This wear-resistant material ensures that your adventure companion lasts season after season, regardless of conditions. You can rely on it, even when the weather turns unpredictable.
The Speed 40 is not only durable, but also incredibly versatile! Thanks to its removable hip belt, lid, and back panel, you can adapt it to your specific needs. Comfort is not overlooked: its moisture-wicking back panel and bi-density foam shoulder straps ensure optimal load distribution, allowing you to focus on your ascent. You'll love that feeling of lightness, even when the pack is fully loaded.
And what about storage options? The PickPockets™ ice tool holders secure your tools with an innovative attachment, while the crampon holder and stowable rope strap add to its practicality. The main lid buckles, easy to handle even with gloves, and the drawcord skirt effectively protect against the elements.
