Moonlight 55

All the key climbing pack features without the frills. Massive front zipper allows full access to the main compartment while a few pockets on the sides and top are great for snacks and accessories. Internal gear loops help organize the main compartment and I appreciate the shaped bottom that lets the pack stand upright on its own for easy loading. Carries well with all my sport gear loaded up. Two thumbs up!!

Love nearly everything about this pack. Comfortable, easy to load, easy access to absolutely everything in the big pocket. Nice addition of side pockets
I would appreciate a handle on the front side. The rope strap gets in the way of the small items pocket. Those are literally my only two complaints!

Took this pack to the desert. It easily fit a 70m rope (in a rope bag), 4 sets of cams (including a few BD #5s and #6s), and all my personal stuff (harness, helmet, food, water, etc). The well designed waist belt and should straps made that load carry surprisingly comfortably. A couple of key organizational pockets and rugged material add to the radness.

I was so excited to see that they finally offered this pack in two torso sizes. Unfortunately, it didn't quite fit me (I'm female 5'5", about 135#). I have broad shoulders but the shoulder straps were still spaced too widely and were actually pushing against my arms. The pack didn't sit as comfortably on the hips either and wasn't flush against my back. I noticed that the hip belt and shoulder straps are a bit stiff so maybe they would break in and soften up a little after some use. I will probably go with the Mammut Neon 55 Women's pack since that fit more comfortably from the get go.

Otherwise the pack has great features. It seems to be one of the few crag packs with external pockets and those are plenty big enough for a guide book or large Nalgene bottle. I packed a full kit for trad (60m rope, double rack, alpine draws, shoes, helmet, puffy, other layers, etc.) and it's got plenty of room--basically a more ergonomic haul bag.

Overall this bag is pretty good but not perfect. I routinely use this bag while guiding and carry fairly heavy loads (50+ lbs). The bag has held up pretty well over the past 3 years that I have used it but is showing its age. Couple areas that I would improve would be the outer material attracts dirt/scuffs so needs a wipe down after every outing. The main issue I have is the stitching in a couple key areas is pulling out. The load lifters and the main grab handles are slowly ripping out. This is probably a result of the heavy loads being carried but I had hoped a bit more resilience. This bag can stand a good amount of abuse and I am sure would last longer with lighter loads.
