Black Diamond Covert 22L

Hiking & Camping > BackpacksRated: ***** by 2 reviews.

RememberDelaware.com

This panel-loading, fully featured backcountry pack comes with an integrated AvaLung for traveling off-piste. The Black Diamond Covert Backpack is built from tough, water-shedding 420d nylon and 1300d Ballistic reinforcements using a clamshell design for easy gear access. On the exterior, an adjustable ski/board attachment system, ice tool loops, compression straps and an avy-tools pocket let you conveniently carry your essentials, and the right shoulder strap features a zippered hydration tube pocket. The AvaLung allows you to breathe fresh air directly from the snowpack, buying you precious time during a rescue. Rebreathing exhaled air when you?re buried causes suffocation because the air becomes oversaturated with carbon dioxide and depleted of oxygen. The AvaLung diverts the exhausted air away from your fresh-air intake zone, considerably extending the time your partners have to conduct a successful recovery. This nine-ounce shoulder sling is proven to extend lives; it?s trusted by guides, avalanche control workers, patrollers and ski mountaineers worldwide.

A small, compact ski pack for backcountry enthusiasts, the Covert Pack from Black Diamond offers the essentials for backcountry travel; a ski and board attachment system, stowing pockets and tough, snow-worthy fabric. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates the life-saving AvaLung: a breathing apparatus that puts oxygen in an avalanche snowpack and exports carbon dioxide through an exhaust port in the back of the pack.

Features:

  • A front ski/board attachment system makes approaches much less of a burden
  • Shovel and probe stow pockets keep essentials easily accessible
  • Side compression straps cinch the load down for less bulk on the approach
  • Water-resistant 420-denier nylon fabric with 1300-denier Ballistics reinforcements makes for a tough pack ready to weather years of use

"The boyscouts always told me to be prepared. Well this will do it when I'm in the backcountry!"

Rating:*****
Black Diamond takes the next step in avalanche saftey with this pack. With integrated Avalung this pack might very well save you life in the back country. This is a minmalist pack though, make no mistake about it. Its small, light and only holds the main essentials. This pack is not intended for long tours in the back country, but more for a one day ski trip. My favorite part about this pack is the easy access BD Deploy 7 shovel and probe pockets. Its right in the front and very quick access. The Avalung is obviously a plus and if you are buying this pack you are probably getting it specifically for this. I don't have any first hand accounts of the Avalung but I will tell y

Best little find I could find

A simple, straight forward pack with easy access to avy gear, and an insulated shoulder strap that actually keeps water liquid. The 22L proved a little small for my backcountry day trip needs though. I'm exchanging for the 32L model, w/Avalung because hey, if it's available why not? The worst that happens is that you never need it.
