Description
Dedicated, durable and designed for ice cragging, mixed ascents and cold-weather expeditions, the Black Diamond Mission pack is our toughest alpine pack. Featuring an updated BD X-rip 420d fabric with UTS™ coating, these packs are now ultra-durable to withstand season after season of mountain abuse. These packs also provide a balanced carry thanks to its SwingArm shoulder straps, and fully strippable waistbelt, lid and frame-sheet. The new custom metal dogbone ice tool attachment provides secure attachment for technical ice tools and mountaineering axes while a front crampon pouch and a tuck-away rope strap secure gear to the outside. Finally, a drawcord skirt provides a second defense against spindrift and light precip.

I hope they call me on a Mission…
I love the minimalism provided by Helio packs for quick powder forays. But the Mission is a dream for longer hauls when one needs to haul more hardware. This said, it did not feel heavy. Rather, it felt burly and supportive in the right places and I felt unencumbered on the up and the down. Form and function mashed up for this puppy. I only wish i

Awesome pack
Another great design by BD. The full length zipper allows access to the entire pack without having to load and unload all the contents to get to the bottom. When loaded up with weight this pack carries very well.

Brilliant pack for ice climbing
Lightweight and very durable material. The customized sleeves for crampons and ice axes are appreciated. The swing arms allow for easy movement while swing axes and climbing with the bag on. Fits a single or two double ropes nicely. No complaints and highly recommended.
