Simond Alpinism 22 L Mountaineering Backpack
Best modular pack for versatile alpine climbers and ski tourers.
This is a masterclass in modularity for alpinists who refuse to carry extra weight. By stripping away the bells and whistles, you get a streamlined, rugged hauler that adapts to the climb, though you’ll have to sacrifice some of the plush organization found in heavier, dedicated touring packs.
