Hiking & Camping > BackpacksRated: ***** by 4 reviews.

Load everything in the Black Diamond Bandit Pack when all you need is a shovel, probe, and a little water for a quick backcountry tour or yo-yo out of the resort. Black Diamond created this ultra-minimalist pack for those short one-run trips before work where you only take the bare essentials so you don't have to explain to your manager that you were late because you packed too much gear at 6:00am.

Nice pack, bare minimalist

Rating:*****

This is a great pack if you're looking to carry the bare minimum. Fits the Deploy 3 shovel perfectly. With a shovel, 2 or 3L hydration bladder and lunch, it's a perfect, light pack for a great inbounds/off-piste day. The smooth face of the pack is great for lifts- it's slim enough to keep on your back, and wont catch any loops or straps on the back rest.

In terms of size, fits fine on my back when adjusted (5'1", 110 lbs female). Boyfriend is 6', 170 lbs and uses the same pack.

This pack serves many purposes. As a touring pack it works great as it will hold you to just the essentials. My deploy 7 shovel (the bigger gold one) DOES fit. Interestingly enough, I have been using this pack for extended Mt Bike Rides. Very comfy on the back and does not feel much heavier or bigger than some camelbacks. This also makes a great "carry on" laptop bag. Very recommended.

Exactly what I wanted

Great design fits nicely on the back; even when full you hardly know it's there. I use this pack to bring SLR equipment with me on the mountain, it's a perfect solution. Adjustable ski loop works great. In spring / summer I use it to carry a water bladder etc. while trail running, and the outer pouch fits my iPhone in perfect position to string headphones to my ears.
