Sealock Mountaineering Waterproof Large Backpack

The Sealock waterproof Large Capacity Hiking Bag 50L is a relatively small, do-it-all pack that’s perfect for long days in the alpine. It’s fairly lightweight at 1 lb 15 oz, and you can remove the internal padding and framesheet to make it even lighter for big pushes. The pack is comfortable to carry despite being lightweight, and I appreciated the small amount of padding on the straps and belt.

The Outdoor Waterproof Mountaineering Camping Backpack features a roll-top design rather than a lid, making it somewhat unique among the packs I tested. While I personally don’t like this design as much as a lid, it does make carrying a rope simpler since you can simply coil it on top of the pack and strap it down. However, you do have to unroll the bag every time you want to grab a piece of clothing or a bar.

The Muti-functional Mountain Backpack with endshield also features straps for ice axe, crampon, helmet, and ski carry. In other words, it’s versatile enough to take on just about any adventure you have in mind.

The pack also has a stretchy panel on the front that’s ideal for stuffing a down jacket and snacks, plus external pockets for water bottles on either side. The only problem with this design is that since it isn’t zippered closed, it is exposed to snow and rain. I also wouldn’t recommend putting a shovel or probe in that pocket if you use as a ski pack, since your rescue gear could be lost if you take a tumble.
