Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Direttissima 55L Backpack
The Mountain Hardwear Direttissima 55L Backpack is built for the long haul, whether that's a couple of backpacking trips through the warmer months or setting out on a thru-hike that takes us through all kinds of climates and conditions. The super durable nylon material is sturdy enough to handle scrapes against abrasive rock, and the PU/TPU coating sheds moisture to keep our gear dry on the trail. The bag is made to handle heavy, awkward loads, with an aluminum frame and easily adjusted compression straps to keep everything balanced and plush hip and shoulder support that allows us to easily pivot and move when we're fresh off of a re-supply. There are multiple pockets to keep our essentials close at hand, and external lash points allow us to tote along extra gear for more technical hikes.

Excellent pack for climbing / trekking
Just got finished with a climbing trip in Nepal. Happy to say the pack held up excellently througout the entire trek with about 20 kilos, and it stripped down well for summit days. The numerous attachment options came in handy. I initially wasn't too sure about the attachment straps for the brain, but they turned out to be good for keeping my ropes out of the way. We ran into heavy rain, hail, snow, and a good amount of spindrift on the trip. I never used a pack cover. The main compartment stayed completely dry. The brain pockets seemed a bit less weather resistant, but nothing ever got too wet. Ice axe attchment worked well and the large gear loop was good for storing my axe when not using it. Over about 150 miles and 2 climbs I didn't have any thing on the pack break and I am not super careful with my gear.
