The last thing you need is a load shifting around while you climb. The Patagonia Linked 18L pack has a close-fitting, streamlined profile that shadows your moves without interfering with your motion.
- Sized as a leader's pack on long routes or a follower's pack on shorter ones, this pack features a top-loading design for easy access to your gear at hanging belays
- Airy mesh shoulder straps and back panel provide breathable, all-day comfort on long routes
- Exterior zippered stash pocket keeps small items secure; an adjustable top strap lets you overstuff the pack or stow a rope
- Hydration sleeve holds a reservoir (sold separately) and keeps bladder from shifting when you're finessing a long runout
- Large, reinforced haul handles
- Puncture- and abrasion-resistant Cordura ballistic nylon exterior and polyester lining both have polyurethane coatings and durable water repellent (DWR) finishes
