The Eiger 35 Backpack includes the same pre-curved shoulder straps and split-wrap waist-belt as larger Marmot packs to provide expedition-quality suspension in a small package. This 2100cu inch backpack easily carries a heavy load of climbing gear to the crags while ski straps and stowable ice axe loops make it great for winter use as well. The Eiger 35 Backpack's lid comes off for trips where weight matters, and Marmot's excellent compression system helps it carry well when you trim gear to the minimum.
Bottom Line: Get more comfort from your daypack with the Marmot Eiger 35 Backpack.
The bag at first looked small but it packed a ton. Everything about the pack that i have tried after a month and a half is extremely well made and designed with care. There are not many storage straps on the outside but it has excellent attachments for skiing gear. Im very Please.
Had one stolen (full of stuff!) and immediately bought a replacement. I don't own very many pieces of gear where that would happen. This pack does everything - cragging, mountains, ice, ski, weekend trips, etc. etc. Owned one for about 5 years - even bought a newer Marmot pack (one of their superlight ones of similar size, slightly more features, it has that ultralight material and frame. it's not commercially available because I got it at a vendor's tent sale) and I still like the Eiger better. Fit can take a heavy load, the brain is the right size, and the simplicity is wonderful, especially the single clip for the lid.
Anyone use it primarily as a ski pack. I hate packs that let the ski's smack you in the head. Oh, and I am a bigger guy, 6'4 225. Anyone.... anyone......
Best bet for a non-head-smacking pack would be any of the dozens of winter packs that offer a diagonal ski carry system. Drop any of these SKUs into the search and check them out: BLD0947, DAK0769, OSP0116, BCA0066, GRE0047. There are plenty more but that should be a good start for you.
I've had this bag for a little over a year now and take it everywhere. It's great for day hikes in all seasons. It is perfect for carrying around extra gear wherever your next adventure takes you.
I use this pack primarily for skiing and it is great. The diagonal carry is great and the pack holds the load of skis effortlessly. Holds enough for extended ski tours and the harness is adjustable so it stays comfortable. The only aspect I do not like about this pack is the ice axe loops; they use a junky system that comes loose and leaves your axe swinging from you back. I have seen other eigers with a different system that seems better, look for the ones with a bungee, not a string, if you carry an axe.
Yep - do it all the time. This is my go-to bag for a long weekend somewhere, mostly because I can carry it on. You might get some looks if its packed to the brim, so leave a little space and you're all good.
I bought this bag as I was backpacking around Europe for two months this past summer. I carried it on to the plane on my Trans-Atlantic flight, and carried it for 9 weeks while backpacking through Central/Eastern Europe. It was perfect. Perfect size, shape, and fit everything I needed. I barely leven looks used and I've taken it all through the UK now, on weekend trips, and on Friday it's coming with me as I head through Spain & Morocco, for 3 weeks. This pack is a great little friend. The straps on the outside allow for you to attach tents, and sleeping pads. When I sewed my flag on it was a little tough, but that just shows how thick and what quality the fabric is! I love Marmot.
I've had my Eiger for four years now. I use it as my clibing pack and I still don't see any sign of wear other than it being dirty. It is a narrow pack so it works great for climbing, as the pack never hinders arm motion. The outside is also very simple so there are not a lot of zippers to get caught on trees and rocks. This isn't the best pack out there but it might be the best under $100.
