This bag is slick and will last a lifetime.

I had it made custom with a removable back pad only because i hate backpads. The bag does not come with the pad as i threw it out as soon as i got the bag. It was simply a cheap piece of very thin foam so it should be real easy to replace if you really want one?

The pack also has a removable brain as i also kinda loath packs with brains. I had some daisy chain sewn to the front so i could attach my crampons.

Pictures do this bag no justice as he black does not photograph well. It seems to look dirty even though in person it looks near new. Used on ice only.

$135 shipped it was just over $200 new with the mods..
