Black Diamond RPM Backpack - 1587cu in

The Black Diamond RPM Backpack's 1lb 4oz weight and low-profile design make it a great choice for ultralight day hikes and trad routes when you need to lead with a pack. Outside Magazine even called it the best everyday pack for 2007. The RPM holds your approach shoes, water bottle, and extra fleece while you run out another pitch to the belay. Black Diamond made this tiny 1587cu inch pack with 210D nylon to help it achieve its low weight and make it compressible enough to use as a stuff sack on longer trips.

Bottom Line: The Black Diamond RPM Backpack—for times when you can't quite clip everything to your harness.

RPM Backpack

I bought this to use for my over nighters, climbing, and for day trips. It takes over for my bora 35 which has a hard internal frame and doesn't pack down for as a second bag very well. This pack has a foam "frame" that is semi-stiff and keeps its shape but can be rolled up and stuffed if need be. It is also just about the perfect size to throw a lunch, a couple extra layers, and some water in but has the versatility to carry ice axes/shovels, poles, sleeping bag... all in addition to the clothes and water. My one complaint is that I wish the top pocket was big enough to carry a book in. Its about the length of a toothbrush and but not quite wide enough for a small paperback, and the zipper makes it even more difficult to get that in. I also kind of yearn for a daisy chain on it.

Reminds me of GoLite, but far better quality material, doesn’t feel like carrying a garbage bag with shoulder strap. There are plenty of pockets inside, one under the lid, and the other against main body. Color is not as expected, on the picture it looks solid color, but many small webbings are orange, so be aware. I can’t tell how long the compression system will survive…maybe that’s why it has only 1 year warranty (most packs in the market has at least life time…what’s up with Black Diamond???) Outside mesh pocket is not large enough for 1L bottle. I guess this is more adventure race ready high-speed pack, so its not intended for big water bottle to be pushed in there. Overall I like it.
