Mammut Neon Gear 45L Pack for Sale, Reviews, Deals and Guides

I used this bag for a couple weeks. One of my friends liked it so much that he wanted to sell his and buy this one. The back unzips fully for ease of access to all your gear. Two loops inside the pack allow for easy biner storage, and it even comes with a rope tarp. The outside material is waterproof so you don't have to worry about your gear getting soaked. The hip pads are also very comfortable which can be a rare find in a crag bag. I wish it had some kind of side storage for a waterbottle or climbing shoes, but I that's alright! It's not the easiest for storing both rope and all your other gear, so you kind have to pick and chose. I just carried my rope in my rope bag instead.

From the images it looks like the rope bag is a part of the pack, but it isn’t. The pack comes with a rope tarp for you to roll up and put in it. For an empty pack, you can get much better. Also seems smaller than 45L.

This bag is well-designed and functional as a crag bag or for hauling back and forth to the climbing gym. I really appreciate having the waist belt be removable, which is how I use it as my regular gym bag. The rope storage bag is great, and having the full back panel open up makes it super easy to access everything inside when loading/unloading. The internal loops toward the top of the pack for hanging quickdraws are a nice feature - they really help keep them out of the way when not in use, and not tangled up when I want to access them. Plenty of room for a helmet, lunch, water bottle, jacket, and various other extras, even with my harness, shoes, and quickdraws inside. There are a couple other internal mesh pockets with zippers, which I use for small extras like a first-aid kit, climbers balm, sweat towel, PA, and keys/wallet/phone.

-not rugged -small -not versatile loosened the carry-straps at the top of the shoulder straps and a thread pulled...just loosening the straps. noticed after less than 48 hours "not overstuffed" (two blankets, two changes of clothes, toiletry bag), one of the side stitches looked like it was pulling. Given that this is brand new, and incredibly light usage for under 48 hours, I'm returning it and buying an Osprey pack rather than putting this through the paces with my trad gear. At the very least, Osprey has a lifetime guarantee. For what it's worth: for 45L, this seems really small. Likely would not fit a 1person tent + sleeping bag. No separate compartments, so no "every day carry / travel" No hydration sleeve pocket. No external compartments for water. loops for trekking poles but not strapped for ice tools.
