Black Diamond Speed 40 Backpack - 2441cu in description

Some people like to stop and smell the flowers. Black Diamond made the Speed 40 Backpack for the rest of us who'd rather climb 20-pitches of rock than twirl in the daisies. This minimalist Black Diamond backpack holds just the right amount of gear for an all-day winter climb or even an overnight summer trip. Carry-overs in the North Cascades or long waterfalls in the Canadian Rockiesthe Speed 40 Backpack handles both with ease. When you really need to shave weight, remove the aluminum stay and back panel to cut this pack's weight to a mere 24oz.

Bottom Line: Stay on the move all day while the Black Diamond Speed 40 Backpack brings along the bare essentials.

This pack is great! I found that the pack is large enough to hold pretty much all of my gear for at least an overnight hiking trip, or maybe two if you pack very small and light. A really simple and minimal design that can be stripped even more for super-lightness. Great pockets, features and straps. Only complaint (minor) is that the hydration sleeve inside is a little tight, barely holding most of my 70oz camelbak bladder...
