DESCRIPTION

Some people like to stop and smell the flowers. Black Diamond made the Speed 40 Backpack for the rest of us who'd rather climb 20-pitches of rock than twirl in the daisies. This minimalist Black Diamond backpack holds just the right amount of gear for an all-day winter climb or even an overnight summer trip. Carry-overs in the North Cascades or long waterfalls in the Canadian Rockiesthe Speed 40 Backpack handles both with ease. When you really need to shave weight, remove the aluminum stay and back panel to cut this pack's weight to a mere 24oz.
