Meeting the speed and agility needs of committed climbers, the VERTO 27 from The North Face is a backpack that makes reaching the top with ease.

Made of 210D IronLite fabric, this pack is tough enough to take a beating on the rocks, yet light enough at 460g to move with ease. With 27 liters of storage, its top compartment has enough room for warm clothes and supplies, while still allowing you to pack the extras. External attachments hold sharp and pointed equipment, and an upgrade covers the tips of tools to protect clothing from ice axes and crampons. Another advantage of this model is that it can be compressed to fit in a larger gear bag or other backpack.

Finally, it adds reflective details in strategic places to stay visible on pre-dawn climbs.
