There is one thing a climber does to a pack that virtually no one else does, she hauls it! Metolius has created this new mini haul bag specifically for climbers. The Shield is constructed of 18 oz. vinyl fabric that is both waterproof and highly abrasion-resistant. It features haul points and tuck-away shoulder straps. It is clean and functional with no bells and whistles. Add a weatherproof top closure and sewn daisy chains and you've got a sweet little pack.
