The Ropebag XL from Salewa is a backpack, rope bag and gear bag all in one. It's absolutely perfect for those longer approaches to the crag as well as the way to the climbing centre. The bag has a long zip so that you can access the your belongings at any time. On the inside, there is a removable tarp that protects the rope from moisture, dust and dirt. Plus, there's even an internal compartment for valuables and other small items. Once everything is packed, you can secure and compress the contents using the two external straps. There are also two gear loops for carabiners and more. The bag is large enough to accommodate a 60-metre rope, helmet, climbing shoes and other hardware. If you'd prefer to carry the bag like a duffle, you can pack away the shoulder straps and use the two grab handles. The Ropebag XL is a tough, versatile rope bag with 30 litres of volume and some practical little extras!
