Specialist Carry: Ice Climber
…for your specialized gear carry? Hmmm, I travel a lot, and I think most travel baggage could benefit from going on a diet and studying good alpine pack and hardware design. Many travel bags weigh more than five pounds, which with modern weight restrictions is a crime.
