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. W

Great all around pack
The size is perfect for a night or two climbing the Grand Teton or used as a day pack!

Just got back from a climbing trip, and stoked on this pack!
After 5 days of using this pack in Wyoming for backpacking and multi-pitch climbing, I’m stoked on how this pack worked out! The backpack handled loads of 30 pounds without trouble, and stripped down for climbing with ease. It’s just the perfect shape for carrying gear in my eyes. The frame sheet is a clear step forward from previous packs in low

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.
