Mountain Hardwear Direttissima Backpack - 2750-3500cu in

Mountain Hardwear built the Direttissima Backpack to give ice and alpine climbers the special features they need for a successful day in the frozen world. Since more and more climbers are swinging leashless tools, Mountain Hardwear developed a unique tool-carry system for your winter weapons. Plus, this pack includes one traditional loop for mountaineers who prefer more-traditional systems. With 3200cu inches of space, the Direttissima Backpack holds plenty of gear for a day of ice climbing, and you can squeeze in a two-day alpine trip if you pack right.

Bottom Line: Get ready for the mountains with the Mountain Hardwear Direttissima Backpack.

Good fit, good price

By: Pat Goodman
October 20, 2008

I have shleped 80+ pounds in this rig several times now and it always feals well balanced! It's not gonna be the best backpacking pack - but that's not what it is for. Super light, holds way more stuff than your gonna want to carry up a route and is hardly noticable when you're climbing with it. All the little gadgets ( aluminium front buckle, quick tool carrier loops, fast strap stash pocket) seem to be work well - overall this pack is great tool for success in the mountains, at a great price!
