Outside’s Justin Nyberg reviews the Black Diamond Octane, the perfect pack for hiking, with its suspender system that moves with your shoulders and hips.
Designed for short to long technical day trips, it’s equipped with Black Diamond’s ergoACTIV suspension. The weight is distributed continuously throughout the shoulders and applied to the pivoting weight straps.
One main feature that stands out is the zipper is on the top which allows for an efficient way to pack and organize your gear.
Loaded with a breathable mesh on the hip belt and shoulder straps, it keeps the shoulder cushioned and also prevents moisture from accumulating around your shoulders. It’s hydration compatible, and can securely store your trekking poles and ice axe.
