The Black Diamond Speed is a true alpine backpack designed for use all over the world. It offers lightweight construction and outstanding performance on rock, snow, and ice. With its revamped BD X-rip 210d fabric featuring UTS coating, this backpack is even more durable and withstands intensive use on the rock season after season. The hip belt, lid pocket, and back panel are removable to make the backpack slimmer and lighter. Its comfort has been enhanced with a redesigned moisture-wicking back element. The newly designed shoulder straps made of dual-density foam optimize load distribution in a compact format. The PickPockets for ice tools now feature a new, custom-made metal tool holder that improves the security of the ice tools. The crampon straps and a stowable rope strap are designed to secure gear on the outside without snagging. New are the glove-friendly buckles directly attached to the fabric, while the proven internal cuff with drawstring facilitates access and keeps moisture out.
