FAQ on climbing backpacks

Which climbing backpack should I choose to mix indoor and office climbing?

For hybrid city/outdoor use, we recommend our urban models like the Roll Top (17L to 29L), the Backpack (18L or 23L) or the Journey 20L. All of them include a padded compartment for your computer, secret pockets for your keys, and daisy chains (or removable dividers) to insulate or hang your climbing shoes outside.

What is the best backpack for rock climbing approach hiking?

For the rockfall, turn to our Snapack range (30L and 40L) or the Snapitch 35L. The Snapack is ideal for carrying cord and crampons with its opening in the back that keeps your straps clean. The Snapitch 35L, on the other hand, is more geared towards more vertical climbing with pitons, a helmet holder and compatibility with hydration systems.

Are the SNAP climbing backpacks waterproof?

Our backpacks offer excellent weather resistance thanks to their recycled fabric coated with waterproof TPU. Some models, such as the Journey 20L, even feature a welded assembly ensuring near-total impermeability. For classic models, the coating perfectly protects against light rain, although the seams are not sealed for immersion.

How to maintain and wash your climbing backpack?

Thanks to the TPU coating, dirt and dust do not stick. It is unnecessary and not recommended to machine wash your backpack. A simple wipe with a damp sponge and a little soapy water is enough to restore its new look after a day outdoors.
