Marmot Eiger 35
In my quest for a backpack that was big enough and versatile enough to carry all of my climbing gear, backcountry skiing gear, and camping gear, I found the Marmot Eiger 35. This pack is just what I had been looking for. It is fairly light, weighing only 3lbs. 3 ounces and is made with a tough nylon material. My pack has had some good tree snags and drops on sharp rocks but the material has held up extremely well. My favorite feature of the pack is how comfortable you can make it. It has tons of adjustment straps to give the perfect fit.

I also like how the top comes off and can be used as a pillow. I seem to always forget my pack pillow, so it comes in handy. My Camelback Mule bladder fits well in the pack and is accomodated with access holes for the tube and bite valve. I also like how the pack has an adjustable snap strap on top where I like to throw my rope when moving short distances to another climbing route. The only gripe I have about the pack is that it doesn't have any way to access the large pocket besides through the top. It would be nice to be able to get something out of the bottom without having to take everything else out.
Rating - ****
Overall - Very versatile and comfortable. Great for hiking, climbing, backpacking, and skiing.
