CamelBak Octane 14+ Hydration Pack - 3L
Octane climbing pack

Just returned from a damp trip in the Linville gorge with this as my climbing pack. It compresses down and fits nearly unnoticed when climbing. Most reviews say it is a race pack but lightweight and slim design lend it to use for all day climbing. I was able to fit my shoes, a rainshell, headlamp, camera, packcover, and 3L of H2O with the front zipper shut. The red is a bit bright for me but that was the only color I could get and it does stand out on a wall. My only complaint was that the bottom of the pack blocked my chalk bag but I may just need to play with the adjustment straps.
