Metolius Durathane Express Haul Pack - 2380 cu in description

Ever done a long trad route where you hauled a pack? Remember what it looked like when you got done? If you don't want your bag to look like it was mauled by a bear at the end of every long climb, then check out the Metolius Durathane Express Haul Pack. Made of the same Durathane fabric that Metolius uses in their other bags, this pack can take anything you or the wall can dish out. Tuck away shoulder straps make a clean profile for hauling. Great for in-a-day walls, cragging, or as an organizational bag for grade VI climbs.

Bottom Line: The do-it-all pack for trad climbers.

I bought this bag to use as a sub-bag on a wall. It worked great for that, we put the day's food, water, and extra clothes in this thing, and that way we never had to get into the big pig except at bivys. It's great not having to dig to the bottom of a giant bag just to find a water bottle.After I got home, this bag became my main cragging pack. It's the perfect size for a rope or rack and all your personal gear, plus it's waterproof, and tough as hell. It can also double as a rope bucket in a pinch. I definitely recommend it.

Metolius Haul bags are the best your $$ can buy. Having been an avid fan for years the natural next step was the haul "pack". This thing makes an burly pack for cragging, lasting a generation. My only complaints are that 1) it lacks a sternum strap and 2) I wish it were a hair larger. Having said that, I still thing this fits the bill for cragging with anything but a wall rack. OR, use it as a smaller bag on your next BigWall
