# Tough Climbing Backpacks Mountain Hardwear's Multi-Pitch Bags are for Rock Climbers By Joey Haar | Published 2017-07-20 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multipitch-bags References: [digitaltrends](https://www.digitaltrends.com/outdoors/mountain-hardwear-multi-pitch-backpacks/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=webfeeds) & [mountainhardwear](https://www.mountainhardwear.com/equipment-packs-luggage/) The rigors of [rock climbing trips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcteryx-alpha-sl-30) are among the most intense of any outdoor activity, and Mountain Hardwear's new Multi-Pitch bags are specifically designed to handle whatever the precipice can throw at them. The rugged, durable bags promise to be effective pieces of equipment throughout every stage of a climb, keeping climbers confident in the safety of all the gear they're storing inside. As on any [outdoor trip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apc-x-gregory), a broken pack on a climbing excursion can spell disaster. Though bags themselves have little inherent value, [broken packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/durable-versatile-bags) mean that trippers can't carry everything they need — and in the middle of a trip through the wilderness, that can be a very serious problem. Fortunately, the Multi-Pitch bags are unlikely to break, with solid stitching and vinyl panels that can withstand significant scrapes and blows. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Sports](https://www.trendhunter.com/sports) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Durable Climbing Gear:** Develop rugged and durable equipment for outdoor activities to ensure safety and success, like Mountain Hardwear's Multi-Pitch bags. - **High-strength Materials:** Integrate high-strength materials like vinyl panels in the design of outdoor gear to improve durability and reduce the risk of breakages. - **Impact Resistant Technology:** Create impact-resistant technology and accessories for climbers to prevent damage to their gear, promoting safety and reliability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Outdoor Gear:** Develop durable and reliable gear for outdoor enthusiasts, like climbers, hikers and campers. - **Sporting Goods:** Introduce impact-resistant technology and high-strength materials in the design and manufacture of sporting goods and accessories. - **Travel and Adventure:** Provide tough and reliable equipment for travelers and adventurers requiring rugged equipment for their journeys. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Featherlight Climber Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/g7-haul-pack.md) - [Mountaineer-Informed Adventure Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hyperlite-mountain-gear-halka-backpack.md) - [Robust Recycled Hiker Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ultralight-hiking-backpack.md) - [Amalgamated Adventure Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/travel-hiking-adventure-backpack.md) - [Extreme Environment Photographer Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lowepro-photosport-x-backpack.md) - [Chic Adventure-Ready Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/long-weekend-morro-convertible-backpack.md) - [Consciously Designed Climbing Jackets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m10-anorak.md) - [Lightweight Winter Sport Backpacks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/raide-lf-40l.md) - [High-Performance Mountaineering Apparel Lines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/highperformance-mountaineering.md)
