The Black Diamond Blitz 28 Backpack is praised for its lightweight, durable, and packable design, making it ideal for serious summit pushes. Its one-handed top closure and removable bivy pad add convenience, while the updated ice tool Pick Pockets™ enhance security. However, some customers found it too small.

"This did the trick for a light weight, minimalistic bag to get the job done while ice climbing!"
"Nice lightweight crag pack. Shoulder straps could be longer."
"Bought this pack for technical rescue. Holds my harness and gear, outer wear, food, water and a few other essentials. If I load helmet outside can fit some extra items. Could use some loops to secure rope coil on sides Like that the sternum strap height is very adjustable, many packs don't fit me well in this respect."
"Great light teton climbing pack"
"This was just what I expected. It's light and compact but surprisingly spacious inside. Love it!"
"Love it! Lightweight."
"I was very happy with this as a summit pack that easily fit inside my larger backpacking pack on Aconcagua. The removable foam liner made it easy to roll up the entire pack and not need to store it vertically. I wouldn't recommend it as an every day pack, except if being ultra light is a priority, as it lacks convenient storage spaces on the outside for water bottles, crampons etc."
"I needed a small day pack to use while multipitch climbing. The Blitz 28 worked great. Big enough to keep my essentials while on the rock yet small enough not to interfere with climbing."
"I really enjoyed this pack. I just wish there was one option to put the water bottle inside the pack on the side so it is easy to reach."
"Lightweight, durable, and perfect for climbers and hikers. It offers easy access, great storage, and performs well in any weather. Highly recommended!"
