DESCRIPTION:
The Stitchback Canyon 1 or "CNYN1" is a backpack designed specifically for use in canyoneering. It is a short bag designed to be worn high on the back which is helpful for scooting off ledges and maneuvering in tight canyons. The tapered, rounded bottom slips easily through tight spaces, and the clean, minimalist design reduces the chance of straps or pockets snagging on rocks. Two large haul handles on top of the pack and a low profile handle on the bottom of the pack make passing it over ledges or out of potholes easy.
The single compartment contains a sleeve for a foam frame sheet which also double as a hydration sleeve. An interior gear loop helps keeps carabiners organized. Grommets at the bottom of the pack allow for water drainage. The pack closes with a simple drawstring that includes a toggle for easily attaching a helmet to the outside of the pack.
With a volume of approximately 22 liters, it is a good size for non-technical or short technical canyons. It has been designed to fit a small canyon dry keg, with plenty of room for a harness, jacket and/or other gear. When more capacity is needed, it can be paired with the CNYN2 rope bag which can be worn around the waist under the CNYN1.*
*Note: The CNYN1 backpack is designed to be worn high on the back and will fit differently than most typical backpacks. Those with a short torso may not be able to wear both the CNYN1 and CNYN2 packs at the same time.
