The North Face Way Out of Bounds

This is a very simplistic alpine sac, when worn during intense physical activity you end up with a very wet back. The rope holder does not hold a full length rope. When other climbing gear is kept there it tends to fall through the hole. The quality of the fabric is mostly good apart from the base which is fairly thin. Other features include lid pocket, side compression straps, a weird central compression strap that is connected to the rope pocket, ice axe holder with no strap and a thin waist belt and chest strap. But the sac does make a decent day sac. I suspect the more expensive models are of a better quality.

A very nice little bag for daytrips and ski climbing. The size is perfect for one-day trips and the strap system in front makes it easy to carry equipment.
