Mountaineering Backpacks - Ω (Omega) Pack

The Ω (Omega) Pack's 50 L capacity has enough volume to carry supplies to camp, yet can still be compressed down to a light-and-fast alpine summit backpack, making it one of the premier mountaineering backpacks. As one of the best mountain climbing backpacks, the Ω Pack is designed specifically for scrambling and climbing peaks by combining a low profile and durable construction. Exclusive features such as a climbing harness compatible hip belt (patent pending), a shoulder harness and lid that combine together into a small summit pack with the option of attaching removable gear slings, and hybrid ice axe loops designed to carry either a traditional ice axe or modern ice tool allow the user to focus on the route and surroundings rather than their pack (scroll over picture to see the features and browse tabs at bottom of page for more information and Demo videos on one of the best mountain climbing backpacks available; demo videos can also be found here).
