Deep Dive
Why We Love the Speed 22L Backpack:
The Speed 22L Backpack from Black Diamond is perfect for those who enjoy light and fast alpine ascents and multipitch climbs. This backpack is designed to be frameless, making it ultra-lightweight. And if you want to lighten your load even more, you can remove the back panel, floating top lid, and webbing belt. Removing the back panel creates additional space for extra supplies like beverages and bivies. Plus, Black Diamond has added various features to the Speed backpack for your convenience, such as a tuck-away strap for climbing ropes, PickPockets for carrying micro ice-tools, straps for crampons, and reinforcements at critical areas for increased durability.
