Mountain Hardwear Direttissima 55L Backpack Foil Grey, M/L

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I used the Direttissima on a multi-day alpine trip where I was carrying rope, tools, and a full camp load. The frame handled the weight really well, and the compression system kept everything stable once we started moving faster on the approach.”Big objectives demand a pack that carries weight efficiently without slowing the climb. The Direttissima 55L Backpack from Mountain Hardwear is designed for alpine missions where gear, durability, and stability matter just as much as comfort. A strong aluminum frame and dual-density suspension distribute heavy loads across the back and hips while maintaining mobility on technical terrain. The pack’s durable nylon construction stands up to rock, ice, and abrasive alpine environments, while the stand-up base makes loading gear at camp or in the parking lot easier. Expandable side pockets, multiple compression straps, and dedicated tool carry options keep technical gear secure and accessible. With ski carry compatibility, a removable crampon pocket, and a large front pocket for avalanche tools, the Direttissima 55L Backpack is built to support demanding alpine objectives.
