From Backcountry.com:
"The Black Diamond RPM Backpack's 20oz weight and low-profile design make it a great choice for ultralight day hikes and trad routes when you need to lead with a pack. This pack makes a great pick for both rock and alpine climbing, and Outside Magazine even called it the best everyday pack for 2007. The RPM holds your approach shoes, water bottle, and extra fleece while you run out another pitch to the belay. Black Diamond made this tiny 1587cu inch pack with 210D nylon to help it achieve its low weight and make it compressible enough to use as a stuff sack on longer trips."

"I use this pack for everything whether it's on a weekend hiking trip or just throwing all my rock climbing gear in it to go to the gym. It's water shedding and extremely light but tuff. the shoulder strap padding is also amazing. I never go anywhere without this pack."
