My favorites pieces of gear are typically multi-purpose, robust, simple, and effective. The Outdoor Research DryComp Ridge Sack is all these things.
The construction is extremely basic. It’s a 34-liter rucksack made of waterproof 70-denier nylon fabric with a roll top closure and welded seams. There are simple shoulder straps with a chest and waist buckle, although those are more for load stability than weight transfer. The pack bag has bungee cords, a narrow mesh stuff pocket, and security cords for up to two ice axes. The pack bottom is reinforced with tougher 420D nylon.
