Alpha SL 30 Ryggsekk

The backpack is ultra-lightweight. After several alpine climbing tours and a week of high-altitude tours and north face climbing, I am extremely satisfied. It has sufficient space, and the pockets (especially the inner ones) are very practical. The closure is more practical than that of the normal Alpha FL backpack. The compression straps are not quite ideal. Super comfortable to carry. Unfortunately, it does not come with a helmet net! This material is the future for ultralight and durability!

I've taken this cragging around Alberta, with the most recent tester up Achilles Spire. What a pack! It's comfortable, clears the harness, it's light and it has pockets! one zippered at the front AND one zippered on the inside! I've appreciated the zippered pockets. For 13 pitches up Achilles, the pack sits comfortably and I barely felt the pack on my back most of the time. I appreciated the compresson straps being removable as I found that I didn't need all of them going up the mountain. The waist straps sat nicely and provided the support for hiking in with the gear. The height adjustable chest strap did it's job. Pack construction appears to be durable and it lasted me getting up the prickly dolomite and also throwing it around at the various crags. The material does show dirt pretty quickly, and it obviosuly doesn't help that it's white. I will say the same thing or the grey straps and shoulder straps just showing dirt very easily. Pack is top opening and operating is simple, easy and no fuss. However, I'm not sure the closure system will protect the insides from a heavy downpour. The pack cinches from the top and then strapped over with a bit of grafalyte. If your pack is full and it's bulging out - sure, the water won't pool. but if the pack isn't full, the top may collect some water. But then again, are you climbing in heavy rain?

The Arc’teryx Alpha SL30 is an excellent pack: ultra-light, incredibly comfortable, and built with top-quality materials. Its minimalist design is perfect for fast missions without sacrificing durability or performance. A top choice for alpine and technical use.

Perfekter Rucksack für einenTag. Leicht, optimale Größe, robust, gutes Tragesystem.

I've been waiting to try out this pack since seeing sneak peaks in promotional videos over the last year and it's everything I hoped for. Really simple design, no bells and whistles. Incredibly light yet feels well constructed and built to last. Perfect size for a full day of climbing, and the outer straps and lash points provide options for keeping things secure on the outside. It lacks the roll top of the Alpha FL. I haven't tested it out in the rain yet but it seems like the top closure will still repel water from the main body.
