Collection: Mountaineering backpacks

How are mountaineering backpacks different from other backpacks?

Mountaineering backpacks are designed with the convenient transportation of climbing equipment in mind, as well as safety in the mountains. Special attachments for rope transport, equipment loops on the hip belt and attachments for ice picks.
For safety reasons, mountaineering backpacks tend to have a more minimalist design without lots of pockets and straps that could get caught, and it's rare for a mountaineering bag to have pockets on the sides, as things can fall out of these pockets when rock climbing, endangering other climbers.
These backpacks don't have a rain cover that can blow away in high winds or act as a sail, instead they are made of extra-durable materials that are meant to handle rough rock surfaces as well as moisture resistance.
Mountaineering backpacks usually have a narrower profile for more comfortable climbing.
