Arc'teryx Konseal 15 Backpack

The Arc'teryx Konseal 15 Backpack in Rune is a specialist piece of equipment designed for climbers who need a dedicated lead pack for multi pitch routes. This pack solves the problem of carrying gear on the wall without compromising your freedom of movement or agility. Built with Hadron liquid crystal polymer ripstop fabric, it provides an incredible strength to weight ratio, ensuring the pack can withstand the abrasive nature of granite and limestone while remaining light enough to barely be felt on your back.

Key Features

• Engineered with Hadron LCP (liquid crystal polymer) grid fabric for elite abrasion resistance
• Streamlined, low profile design prevents snagging on rock faces or narrow chimneys
• Fixed lid construction allows for quick access to internal contents while at a belay station
• Removable waist belt and sternum strap provide a secure, customisable fit during active climbing
• Top grab handle is reinforced for clipping into anchors or hauling over short distances

• Minimalist padded shoulder straps offer comfort without interfering with a climbing harness

At Urban Industry we recommend

• Multi pitch rock climbing where a low profile lead pack is essential
• Lightweight day hiking for those who prefer a minimalist carry system
• Use as a secondary summit pack that can be stowed inside a larger expedition rucksack
• Gym sessions where you only need to transport shoes, harness, and chalk

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This backpack features a 15 litre capacity, specifically sized for essentials like water, food, and a light windshell.
• The Rune colourway offers a sophisticated, earthy tone that blends naturally into outdoor environments.
  
• The back panel is designed to sit high enough to avoid interference with the gear loops on your climbing harness.

Washing & Care Instructions

• Hand wash or surface clean using cool water and a soft brush
• Use a mild technical gear cleaner if necessary, but avoid standard household detergents
• Do not machine wash or tumble dry, as the mechanical action can damage the Hadron fabric
• Hang to dry in a well ventilated area away from direct sunlight to prevent UV degradation

Arc'teryx Konseal 15 Backpack - Our FAQs

1. Can I fit a hydration bladder inside the Konseal 15?
   The pack is designed for minimalist climbing and does not have a dedicated hydration sleeve, though a small soft flask can easily be placed inside the main compartment.
2. How durable is the Hadron fabric compared to standard nylon?
   Hadron fabric is significantly more resistant to tearing and abrasion than most fabrics of a similar weight, making it ideal for contact with rough rock.
3. Is this pack suitable for everyday office use?
   While its minimalist aesthetic works in many settings, it is a specialist climbing pack without a laptop sleeve or internal organisers, best suited for outdoor performance.
