Tough as Nails

Ranked #16 - Daypacks

I've owned the same Black Diamond Bullet Pack since 2003, and I couldn't be happier with it. I love it! I had originally bought the pack for a climbing trip to Devil's Tower, WY. Since then, it's seen that summit twice and has been to the local crags countless times. The bullet is great because it allows full, unrestricted movement but at the same time, it sits securely on your back. This is my go-to daypack, not just for climbing, but for anything active: hiking, ice climbing, snowboarding, skateboarding, urban exploration, cycling, and paintball. I've used this pack for everything and have abused the heck out of it, but it's still in remarkably great shape. The fabric is incredibly abrasion and puncture resistant. The straps are thin but comfortable even with moderate weight (about 10-15lbs). The only negative aspect of this pack is its lack of ventilation on the back panel, but despite this gripe, I can't find any other fault. This is truly an incredibly tenacious little pack. Tough as nails and ready to tumble, this pack is a 'bulletproof' buy.
