Halka 55

Incredible Bag

Love this bag. Used it on Island Peak and gifted one to a guide and so had to get another. Lightweight and strong with lots of room for your gear. Highly recommended..

Lightweight and can carry a 40lb stack. Very happy with the purchase

Perfect multi-day alpine / mountaineering pack

Took this on a weeklong alpine climbing trip to the Pacific Northwest which consisted of multi-day climbs of Mount Baker and Mt Shuksan. It was the perfect size and comfortably held my 50lbs of gear and food for the approaches. The pack straps did a great job compressing the pack for summit day and taking the brain off helped reduce weight and further compressed the pack down. The compressed pack sat nicely on my harness when climbing 5th class terrain. It felt like a small summit pack once base camp materials were out of it and compressed down. The materials are super durable and I expect it to last many years. While this is a minimalist pack, the few extras are very nicely thought through. The crampon and ice axe holders did a great job securing these tools and the waist belt pouch fit my phone and sunblock for easy access. My only suggestion for improvement is the small storage section in the brain could have been bigger. For some reason, the small pouch does not extend across the entire brain of the pouch, which unnecessarily reduces the size of this easy to access storage space. Overall, I would highly recommend this pack for alpine / mountaineering trips!
