Deuter ACT Trail 20 SL Backpack - Women's - 1200cu in

March 19, 2012

k8, Laundry apartments is ok but your best bet would be to get a wet weather bag. This way you don't have to worry about compartments busting and ruining a good climb or hike. If still interested write the staff via chat. They can give you the down and dirty.

Rating for this product: 5 March 9, 2012

This is the perfect product for people who want all around protection. When climbing with people who are new to climbing I let them use this because it always catches. This really helps build confidence and trust in their gear as well.

I will recommend this product 100%

I stopped buying Petzl after reading some articles on outsourcing. Once a company starts out sourcing you tend to loss a lot of quality. Most likely china.

Depending on your location its not all that hard. But you should also try talking to the people @ backcountry via chat or by phone. There service from my experience goes untouched they will help get you what you need or point you in the right direction.

The feel and the power behind these shoes is amazing. When climbing I feel like my feet can grip what ever my foot is placed on. No more worries on my end. Would I recommend them to a friend? Yes. Will I continue to buy this shoe? You better believe it.

The shoes are still kicking butt. Grip feels just like the first time wearing them and after showing some nice grabs I have converted a few. Will continue recommending and buy :-D
