We popped over to see Berghaus yesterday and one of the
shiny new things that caught our eye was a new, minimalist climbing
pack which is appearing in the shops right now.
Called the Phantom Light it's a 37-litre climbing pack
which is aimed squarely at minimalist mountaineering. That means a
simple and sparsely-padded Fusion Light back system with a single
main compartment.
You still get the bare necessities with tough but light Ardura 210
fabric, side compression straps, hydration system compatibility,
reinforced haul loops, top tension straps and an internal rope
compression loop.
It's a bit of a departure for Berghaus whose climbing packs have
generally been sturdy and supportive, though strippable, like the
Crag, and it looks very neat in the flesh.
Suggested retail price is £50 and you can see specs
along with the rest of the Spring/Summer 2007 range at www.berghaus.com
