Mountain Gear

When you need to move fast and light, pick up the Speed 30 from Black Diamond and move with the lightness of Hermes. Your load won't feel as heavy with the padded hip belt and V-LITE suspension system, and when you need to be uber light, remove the top pocket and wear it alone as a lumbar pack, carrying just a few essentials.

Features:

  • Don't worry about being bogged down by weight with light, 210d nylon ripstop body fabric and just enough heavier, abrasion resistant 420d nylon
  • Don't worry about the fit - this pack will fit multiple torso lengths
  • Stow your favorite hydration pack to keep your fluid intake up - pack is hydration compatible
  • Support your load with the V-LITE suspension system
  • When your load is heavy, add on the removable padded hip belt

ProLite Gear

All-purpose, spartan rucksacks for mountain use, the top-loading Speed 40 and 30 are perfect choices for all-day missions in the Rockies, Sierras or White Mountains. The Speed 40, designed with a deluxe V-Lite suspension, can be pared down for light-and-fast summit pushes by removing the pack’s top pocket and padded hip belt, while the 30 can be stripped to flyweight class thanks to its removable top pocket, hip belt, framesheet and stay. Both the 40 and 30 are built with water-shedding 210d nylon (plus 400d on high-abrasion areas), have dual ice axe attachments, crampon patches, are hydration compatible, and come in multiple torso lengths.

Excellent summit pack. Simple, lightweight and packable.

Rating:*****
I originally purchased this pack for summit approaches. This pack fits my 6'3" 210 pound frame well, is comfortable, very accessible, and clings closely to keep your center of gravity close to you. At 2 pounds 7 ounces, the Speed 30 is hard to beat.

Good pack, but smaller than expected

Rating:****
It's a well-built daypack, though it's smaller than expected. It has good padding & support, and the ability to remove portions of the bag to make it ultra-lightweight is a nice touch. But consider going for the 40L bag for the extra room.
