TAILER 2011
THUNDER 35 ORTOVOX
One of the coolest packs we checked out at the show. Though we haven’t had a chance to strap it on and take it out for a test drive, we thought it would be worth bringing it to your attention. The main compartment of the pack can be accessed via a removable lid or the all-round zipper. The zipper opens the pack completely and gives you full view of all your climbing gear. Inside you’ll find a waterproof pocket for all your valuables. Dig further and you’ll notice a removable nylon rope mat. The top lid and waste belt can be removed for weight efficiency.
Price: $179
PROPHECY 35 SIERRA DESIGNS
New for Fall 2011, Sierra Designs’ Prophecy 35 crag pack was designed spe- cifically for climbers. To name a few features: A three-way, ‘T’ shaped zipper allows easy access from the top and bottom of the pack. Stores ropes, har- nesses, and shoes while internal daisy chains help keep your gear organized. Thinking about the big walls on Cannon Cliff? The Prophecy comes with a three-point haul system and it’s rugged nylon material is tough and won’t breakdown when pulled and dragged.
Price: $150
THERMAL ZONE BASE LAYER CABELLA’S
Cabella’s used Polartec’s Power Dry® high efficiency fabrics to create the ultimate baselayer. It is lightweight and wicks moisture well, probably better than any other baselayer I have used. As you can tell from the photo to the right, different fabric weight was used in critical areas, giving you the breath- ability regulation you need in demanding conditions. The heaviest polar weight is used in the core area, the mid weight fabric is used in less critical areas and the lightest tech weight is located in high-heat-output areas.
