Designed with knowledge from years spent in the mountains, the Black Diamond Blitz is the answer for serious summit pushes, making it the ultimate on-route pack.
With all the features of a summit pack, the new Blitz packs are constructed from our new BD Dynex™ “Mini Rip” 100d body fabric, giving them the ideal balance between being ultra-durable, hyper-light, and extremely packable. A one-handed top closure simplifies your system while keeping the elements out, and the strippable design adds even more weight savings, with a removable bivy pad. A color-coded red rope strap is easy to find, while the ice tool Pick Pockets™ have been updated with our new custom metal dogbone attachment for added ice tool security. Hydration compatibility rounds out the feature set for an on-route pack built for the send.
From clean climbing, to conservation, Black Diamond is committed to protecting the people and places we love.

"Out son is happy with this snazzy and functional bag. He uses it for indoor climbing gear but will take it outdoors for hiking and bouldering later this summer."
"I was able to fit 3 outfits along with all the essentials I needed for a week long hiking trip. Additionally, the vestibule for a hydration bladder accommodated my 1. 5 L bladder very well. Impressed with overall quality and value."
"I use this ack for any type of alpine objective that requires me to climb with a pack on. Packs well, light weight, and does not restrict climbing movement. The white material also looks so clean!"
"Great bag!"
"Perfect for the quick one day pursuits. Lightweight and comfortable."
"It’s a great little backpack it’s the perfect size for a ski bag"
"Little did I know that my smallest pack would become my favorite! This thing goes everywhere with me. Solid small ruck!"
"I just replaced my old blitz pack with this one. I’ve taken it on every rock climb for six years and beat the absolute heck out of it and it’s still going. It does everything you need and nothing you don’t. Incredibly durable for how light and sackable it is!"
