What is the Rogue 48?
This is a sturdy climbing pack with functional detailing and a streamlined, minimal style. The zipped rear and top loader entry points make quick, easy access to your ropes and trad rack so you can get set up and moving with minimal faff.
What is it made of?
The Rogue 48 is made from 840D Ballistic Nylon and 420D PW (plain weave).
Ballistic nylon is robust, heavy duty nylon, durable enough to take on bumps and scrapes from rocky terrain. This nylon type is much stronger and stiffer than other fabrics, delivering extensive toughness whilst still offering a lightweight feeling.
PW (Plain weave) is a simple fabric with a basic construction that can withstand abrasion and provide a more structured look.
The bag has a Hydroshield® finish which creates a moisture resistant coating to help water bead off the material.
Which backsystem does it use?
This pack uses a specialised Tri-flex™ backsystem, designed to support and contour to the body for optimum load transfer when transporting a heavier kit. The Tri-flex™ backsystem uses three key load support elements to build the overall structure.
A spring steel or aluminium frame improves the strength of the backsystem so it can take on heavier weight with ease. There is a HDPE stiffening sheet to retain the pack's shape and a moulded EVA foam backpanel. Foam backpanels help increase comfort and adapt to the body shape for a personal, figure hugging feel.
What are its features?
The zipped top loader and rear entry points make it a quick and easy job accessing and unloading your kit.
There are upper and lower side compression straps with retainers to help compress the bag when it's not fully loaded, reducing bulk and helping to stop the kit from moving around when you're on the go.
A rear handle gives you the grab-and-go option if you're in a hurry and don't want to fully mount the backpack, super handy if you're rushing to reach the next crag before sunset.
Zipped side pockets and external zipped pockets can securely fit maps and guide books inside for exploring new locations or planning multi-pitch routes. Stretchy mesh side pockets are super handy for carrying larger water bottles to support hydration without using up precious space inside your pack.
There is a small internal security pocket for valuables you want to keep secure, such as a phone or car keys.
The harness features a forward pull padded hipbelt to transfer weight into the hips instead of putting your back out, and the sternum strap helps keep the bag in place.
For safety, the sternum strap also has a handy built-in whistle; use it to attract attention or signal help if you're lost or stuck in a dangerous situation. The pack also comes with an SOS panel - an instruction sheet for worst case scenarios printed on a fabric panel inside the pack itself.
