What customers say
The customer reception for the Ultra Grid Crush and Carry 20L Roll Down Pack is overwhelmingly positive, cementing its status as a highly specialized and beloved piece of gear, particularly within the climbing and minimalist travel communities. Reviewers consistently laud the pack's exceptional durability, attributing its ruggedness directly to the use of the Ultra Grid material, which manages to be both incredibly lightweight and highly resistant to abrasion and tearing—a critical combination for outdoor use. The "Crush and Carry" moniker is well-earned, as users appreciate how easily the pack compresses when empty yet reliably handles heavy or awkwardly shaped loads when full, making it a versatile workhorse. The roll-down closure system is frequently praised for its simplicity, weather resistance, and ability to adjust volume dynamically, though a few users noted that the lack of extensive internal organization requires the use of stuff sacks for smaller items. While the price point is higher than standard daypacks, the consensus is that the investment is justified by the pack's longevity, US manufacturing quality, and the high performance of the specialized materials. Minor constructive feedback occasionally surfaces regarding the minimal padding on the shoulder straps during extremely heavy hauls, but for its intended 20L capacity and lightweight design, the comfort is generally rated as excellent. Overall, customers view this pack not just as a carrier, but as a reliable, high-performance tool built to withstand serious abuse and excel in environments where weight and resilience are paramount.
