Black Diamond Instinct Pack

Hiking & Camping > BackpacksRated: 4 by 1 review.

Moosejaw (Spring 2010)

The Instinct Pack by Black Diamond is designed to handle any daylong mountain adventure you can cook up. The stretch pocket on the front is perfect for stashing a helmet or jacket, while the two stretch side pockets provide quick access to water bottles, energy bars or a point-and-shoot camera. It's easy to fish items out of the pack thanks to its large panel access, and the four compression straps cinch the contents into a stable load. Zippered top pocket, dual ice axe loops, hydration compatibility, rope strap and multiple torso lengths round out this versatile pack's features.

A solid Pack

Rating:****
I just got this pack and I've been "puttin" around with it a little and so far i really like it. As soon as your start to adjust it you see how well its built, it hugs onto your back like a bad concious but is comfortable. The big stretchy pocket on the front is actually pretty cool. You can stuff a lot in there (don't try anything with sharp corners) Quite a bit of room on the inside, there's no way you could overnight with this though, But if your looking for a solid day pack, then this is a good buy. My only complaint is that the ice axe straps are the same straps that tighten the Stretchy pocket.
