X-Cursion Rugzak

I was a bit worried the PVC coating might feel cheap, but it's surprisingly durable and keeps everything bone-dry. The way the bag opens from the back makes loading ropes and gear so much easier, and it stays put on the ground without flopping over.

Opened the full back zip for the first time and was surprised how easy it was to load all my climbing gear. The nylon fabric feels sturdy but not stiff, and that PVC coating already shrugged off a muddy trail.

The PVC coating is way tougher than I expected for a nylon pack—dragged it over some sharp crags and there's not a scratch. Having the whole back unzip flat means I can dig out gear without everything spilling onto the dirt, and the back stays clean too.
