Product description
To keep chalk, climbing shoes, and essential bouldering gear neatly contained without cluttering your main daypack, the Arc'teryx Index 40 Boulder Bag in Bracken is built from a high tenacity, water resistant nylon weave. Engineered specifically to solve the mess of chalk dust spilling over clean equipment inside gear haulers, this 40 litre storage solution features a wide opening main access zip with internal organisation dividers. Outfitted with reinforced haul handles, durable zip pulls, an external accessory pocket, and a structured base that stays upright on rough crag surfaces, it offers long term abrasion resistance, efficient gear separation, and effortless cragside utility.
