Comments about Black Diamond Quantum 55 Pack:

I have had this for a year and it has held up well. I have noticed it can be punctured a little too easily. The material is a highly water resistant style as well as light weight. If you're careful it's fine. I have brought it up some chimney climbs and it seemed to handle abrasion fairly well. Also the punctures are small and did not spread thanks the the great ripstop design.

It carries a load well up to about 40-45 lbs. I love that I can strip it down, and the ability to have a small bivy pad in the pack has been useful. It strips easily, and can be used for everything. I have gotten rid of all my other packs because of this one. The crampon kick panels work very well and handled a season of summer alpine climbing as well as a winter of ice climbing. The straps for ice tools/axe are great. The access to the hood from the traditional outside zipper or zipper access from inside while the pack is open is sooooo nice.
Overall I would recommend this pack to anyone.
