Large Mindbender Rope Bag

The Mindbender is a rope bag designed for the rigors of Colorado plateau slot canyons. The body is made from 1000D Cordura for maximum abrasion resistance and durability when hucking it down canyon. The grab handles are beefy tubular webbing for carrying comfort and sewn with specific loops to tie off the rope end. The Mindbender is sewn with a rectangular shape that reduces rolling so it stays where it lands after a throw. Add dual mesh pockets and removeable foam inserts* for wet routes or leave them off for less weight and bulk. The single opening style (pink bag in pictures) has a mesh bottom allows for fast drainage and has large openings for threading the rope out and tying a variety of end knots to the bottom handle. There are no grommets to rip out as on other rope bags. Choosing the double opening style (teal bag in pictures) swaps the standard mesh bottom for a second mesh cinch, allowing access to both ends of the rope. This is especially helpful for guiding, spreading rope wear, and all sorts of fancy euro-style rigging. Adding the bottom cinch features its own external grab handle and internal tie off loop for the rope end.

*Adding the Foam Insert Pockets adds 2 open bottom mesh pockets inside the bag and includes 2 removeable foam inserts. This floatation should not be completely trusted to keep your lifeline from sinking deep in a pothole, use good judgement.
