Why We Like The Speed 30L Backpack
The Speed 30 Backpack is a staple in the Black Diamond lineup and we use in the alpine in remote mountain ranges in interior BC and the Andes. BD designed the Speed for fast and light ascents by giving it a basic top-loading design and strippable components to make the pack that much more versatile in the high mountains. The pack also features PickPockets for your ice axes and snag-free crampon straps to keep your talons ready for the snow and ice you'll eventually encounter in the alpine.

Could be the best but....
Does the job and i look amazing while i'm at it. But the devil is jn the detail, if you are gonna put some extras at least do it right! The attachments in the hipbelt looks so bad, so low quality!

Perfectly Dialed Trad Pack
Black Diamond's Speed Packs provide everything I need and appreciate in a trad pack without any unnecessary fluff 'n' stuff added. I'm a tall man with a short torso, and the smaller size sits nicely, even while wearing a harness and climbing multipitch routes. The pack also carries a rope nicely, with five compression straps keeping it in place. While I haven't used this pack for skiing, I can strongly recommend it for all-day climbing adventures.

Great pack
Like my larger BD pack, this thing is a bucket. It fits a ton of gear, but doesn’t wear like a big, heavy pack. Feels good in the hips, and distributes weight well.

Speed 30 pack
I bought this pack intending to use it for mountaineering, rock climbing and over night hikes in the Grand Canyon. I was concerned about durability and how the pack would feel fully loaded. All concerns are over for this pack. The speed 30 has been incredible in all weather 100° to 20° fully loaded over loaded and with hardly anything in it. I like how it feels with or without the lid. Holds all my gear perfectly. This will be a hard pack to beat.

Fantastic pack that has all
Fantastic pack that has all the climbing-specific bells and whistles you could want despite being very light. The hip belt is also surprisingly comfortable given the weight. The 30 liter size can serve as an on-route pack and/or an ultralight pack for an overnighter.
