UltraGrid 27 litre Backpack
Comfortable whilst carrying rack, ropes and other essentials on the approach, compact and lightweight so as not to hinder movement whilst climbing. This is my ultimate bag for a day in the mountains.

This backpack has been alpine climbing in the Central Alaska Range, lapped up The Shelterstone, ran up Munros, ragged along the cycle commute, lugged the shopping home, squashed into the stingy EasyJet carry on - everything I have done for the past year.
I have hunted for the best components available, from the finest Challenge Sailcloth fabrics, to marine grade stainless steel eyelets, foam from the medical orthotics industry, and aluminium buckles. Every feature, seam and detail has been thought about in great detail to create a minimal but functional product which I hope you will love as much as I have.
- Challenge UltraGrid 20% UHMWPE (’dyneema’) 80% recycled nylon 210D ripstop with a waterproof PU coating. The UHMWPE content makes this fabric almost entirely resistant to tearing, with double the abrasion resistance of standard nylon 210D fabrics.
- Dual density Evazote foam shoulder straps, removable 20mm waist strap and high density EVA bivvy pad means genuinely comfortable carry loaded up with a full trad rack.
- Water resistant drawcord closure keeps out rain and spindrift whilst allowing easy one handed access.
- Foam base insert protects the base of the pack and dramatically increases abrasion resitance in this key wear point, for only a tiny increase in weight.
- 3mm Dyneema shock cord provides external carry for axes, sleeping pads, skis, and whatever else you might not fit in the pack.
- Zipped internal pocket with aluminium key clip.
