Eight years of development and testing lands these packs at the forefront of cutting-edge canyon packs. Built to be thrown, dragged, beaten and bruised, each pack sets a new standard for durability, wearability, and functionality in a region that is notoriously hard on gear. Our patent pending SRS system allows you to move through the desert safely, efficiently, and comfortably. While born in the canyons, these packs don't appreciate being tangled up in categorization. These are desert packs for anyone who loves getting out in the desert.
Innovative rope management
that changes the way we move
through the desert
The SRS divider system allows you to separate your rope from gear with a physical divider inside the pack. We recommend first flaking your rope into the rope side, attaching the bottom of your rope to the black rope loop and the top to the red loop. Then put all your gear except harness and helmet into the gear side to isolate it from the flaked rope. Helmet and harness fit nicely on top once all packed since they are the first items to be used.
For any rappel from 15ft to over 200ft, if your anchor station allows, you can start by attaching the pack to the anchor by either the lid loop or grab loop for an easy work station. Then flake out ONLY the amount of rope needed from inside of the pack, toss the rope, and put in your preferred rope block technique. The rest of your rope stays neatly packed inside the bag. Everyone in the group descends but the last person, who will be descending with the pack containing the rope.
The last person in the group descends with the pack on their back while the flaked rope pays out smoothly and predictably from the rope side of the bag. Once safely on the ground, the rope is pulled and flaked back into the rope side of the bag and tied off on the red rope loop. This eliminates the need to uncoil and recoil rope between rappels, improving speed, efficiency, and safety.
