| 80 | | $170 | This is a comfortable and versatile pack that climbs well on all alpine terrain |
| 78 | | $179 | Highly versatile and impressively lightweight, the Ascensionist is well designed for technical climbs |
| 72 | | $289 | This pack is light, durable, simple, and comfortable, making it more versatile than most ultralight packs we’ve used |
| 69 | | $360 | This pack is extremely comfortable and climbs well, but it is less durable and difficult to get in and out of |
| 67 | | $100 | What the Blitz lacks in versatility it makes up for in performance in steep, technical alpine terrain |
| 64 | | $200 | The Mutant 52 is the largest in a series of 3 packs, and well suited to multi day climbs and colder weather pursuits |
| 62 | | $250 | If you like longer trips or winter climbs, the Mission 75 is a great pack—and it will still perform well on lighterweight and technical climbs |
| 60 | | $200 | This pack is a quiver-of-one tool: it can handle everything from ice and skiing to cragging and light expeditions |
| 56 | | $170 | The durability and feature set of the Ortovox Peak Light 32 make it particularly well suited to ski mountaineering |
| 52 | | $400 | This is a great pack for long, cold expeditions; it is comfortable and climbs better than most packs of this size |
| 42 | | $200 | This is a reasonable “pack-of-all-trades” but is less comfortable than we would like |
