Pleiades Pack

Our most versatile pack, the Pleiades functions as a 35 liter load hauler. It’s large enough for overnight approaches yet small enough to climb with. It can be configured as an alpine climbing pack, burly canyoneering guide bag, or an ultralight backpacking pack. Heavily customizable with options for ice tool carry, a variety of compression strap options, fabric choices, hip belt style, and closure options to create your ideal pack. The hip belt is built around a 1.5” webbing belt that can be used by itself or with our hip belt pads for a cushy fit. The hip belt pads can be setup with zippered pockets or ice clippers and gear loops. Choose between a cinch closure for fast access, a roll top for expansion and weatherproofing, or add both for maximum versatility. Each closure choice comes with an outside accessible zippered detail pocket and hydration ports. The shoulder straps feature loadlifters, elastic straps for a hose or radio, and a moveable sternum strap. Reinforced corner strap attachment points facilitate adding a variety of compression straps. Our G-Hook straps, buckle straps, and fixed straps will all work as well as a standard ski strap. The Pleiades also features large grab handles on the front and the back, and a top G-Hook strap. There is also a removable foam back panel and frame sheet for a comfortable carry. Adding the ice tool carry option adds a lasercut tool carrier with bungees and a slot for a ski strap to carry crampons. If you want drainage grommets added to the bottom, make a note on the order screen.
