The SummitRocket 40 is a pack that really captures the essence of the "new" Mountain Hardwear that was unveiled in 2011. At the core of Mountain Hardwear's new identity is a collection of ultra-light, State Orange-colored gear for "speed alpinism," as embodied by the exploits of Swiss climber Ueli Steck. The aptly-named SummitRocket was introduced as Steck's primary pack as he zoomed up the north face of the Eiger in a then-record 2 hours and 47 minutes. Its minimalist, roll-top design weighs in at less than two pounds, but still provides enough volume for all of your extra layers and attachment points for your ice tools and crampon bag. The white fabric on the front and bottom is HardWear X-Ply, a blended fabric which includes super-strong Dyneema for resistance to abrasion from rocks and your ice tools.
The SummitRocket isn't the alpine pack for everyone, due to its lack of ski-carrying facilities and organizational pockets. But if your goal is to go fast and light crowd, this is the pack for you.
Also, it might interest you to learn that these 2012 closeout versions of the SummitRocket are 55-60 grams lighter than the new 2013 zip-top version...so get them before they're gone!

Reviews:
This pack is great for short trips. Unless you are an ultralight backpacker, this pack will likely only allow you a trip of up to 3-4 days (depending on the circumstances). It is large enough to fit a lightweight 1 man tent, lightweight sleeping back, few days worth of food, a couple water bottles and the other small items you would bring on a short trip. If you attach a water bottle to the outside it leaves more room for food. It is very light and the built in "sleeping pad" (very thin but enough for decent terrain) saves space as well. It is not a problem that there are no pockets, simply bring a small dry sack to put small items in, if needed. One of my best gifts to date.
My first impressions on receiving the pack were that the ice axe loop on the left side was missing an elastic adjustable tie down device at the bottom attachment point, and that the hip belt strap was way too long. I contacted Mountain Hardwear customer support and they responded promptly and helpfully, arranging for me to return the pack for alterations at no expense. They are going to shorten the belt and finish the end professionally and also send me an extra elastic tool attachment device.
