Rab - Ascendor 28 - Mountaineering backpack tested

I bought this backpack for a climbing trip in the Dolomites. It was perfect for taking up a climb, being super light & comfortable even on long days. Plenty of room for a day pack, and the colour looks great.

Only downside would be that the straps on the side were too far apart to fit even my 1L water bottle on the outside while hiking which was kind of a let down but a minor detail nonetheless.

Great little bag for outdoor activities, lots of handy features like two pull-out cords to hang your ice axes on for example.
I just use it for hiking and walking in the mountains, it weighs next to nothing too so you can carry more.

only one downside, for me anyway, the waist band doesn't fit big guys like me. but with the chest strap done up it's still super-stable even when running
