We did 3 days of technical slot canyoneering in Utah and the pack held up beautifully! Built like a tank, and very easy to access gear when needed - pully out ropes, etc.

Great product. Most any leather glove would work when rappelling. Anything that protects your hands would be “ok”. These gloves are the best for the job. I love the extra leather layer on the palm to help defuse the heat from the friction. Having the thumb, middle and index finger tips open lets me rig my rap without having to take my gloves off. All that and they’re lightweight and breathable. I highly recommend them.

I bought this pack because the newer rapide and guide packs were out of stock. This is an awesome pack that will hold just about everything you need in the canyon. Built like a tank but comfortable to wear. I love this pack and I hope Slot gets the newer versions back in stock, I would still like to buy a Rapide.

My favorite shorts for a long time were always the Prana cargo shorts, but they have been de-throwned! These shorts are the perfect thickness and perfect fit! I don't just use these for summer canyoneering, but I bought several pairs to wear them as my new casual short. Great buy!!

I have 2 of these, one white and one black. Also bought 4 more for xmas gifts for my older kids so they have one of their own and don't have to borrow mine. I find them perfect for a day at the crag, enough room for climbing gear, clothing, water and snacks, and my rope (which I can start with belaying right from the bag, then switch to a tarp to flake on)

Awesome shorts! Had to jump a Barb wire fence yesterday in them and I heard and felt them snag but there is no rip like I would get out of my other shorts with similar materials. The fit is great!

LOVE THIS HOODY! Breathable, moisture-wicking fabric that's protective and cooling. It is stain resistant and launders well. I like the fit - it is not skin tight, but big enough to allow free movement for scrambling around. Super comfortable as a base when you need to layer up! I will buy this hoody again and again when mine wears out or when I need a perfect gift for my outdoorsy friends!

I haven't had a chance to get out and use this thing yet (probably won't until spring), but I will not hesitate to drop, slide, scrape, throw or dropkick this bag in the next canyon I run! It seems incredibly well make and stout in all the right places, yet is pretty damn comfortable! It looks awesome too, I can't wait to get out and break this thing in!

I love my Rapide 38 bag! It is both stylish and functions well. Very thoughtful design, by people who clearly know what we need in a canyon. I can’t wait to get more mud on it!

the perfect fleece for desert adventures. It has everything you need to keep you warm for camping from your car to cold days canyoneering the Ouray high country slots. It is the best outdoor fleece hoody ever

Great size for cooler temps day hiking, enough room for clothing as I shed them or need to use them later. Plus I usually carry my kids gear as well as mine.

Great option of you want to take a smaller pack (Tower 36 pack) and not have the rope take up all the space inside, and not having to carry a seperate sling style rope bag that always inhibits moving thru technical terrain. Plus this rope bag allows me to start lead climbing right from the bag and comes with a tarp for flaking after the first climber.

This wetsuit bag allows me to carry my wetsuit outside my pack giving me more room for other gear inside. And it dries a little while I am hiking back to camp.

I love that I could repair a high-quality backpack so easily by finding a simple part rather than jury-rigging something that wouldn't work well or (much worse) putting up with a damaged pack or (even worse) having to start over with a new pack. Thank you for making it so easy!

This has become my go to for cragging and any canyons that can be completed in a day. It’s tough but carries a load well. Have yet to have any failures except zipper pulls and that’s around 50 canyons.

Quality materials as always with Slot. I bought this because I lost the last one unfortunately. I do wish they had a black spare strap as this replacement was for a black pack.

Bought this bag after using the On Rope Descent for a few years. NIGHT AND DAY.
This bag is 1) incredibly well made 2) VERY intentionally designed 3) Extremely comfortable.
First outing was the Subway in Zion and I was blown away by the fit (6ft tall, got the large). I only have a 200ft rope which was super overkill and quite heavy, but this bag allowed my to put that weight on my hips instead of shoulders and man it changed my whole experience.
The lid loop for anchor setup is genius and...

I’ve used this pack on six canyons so far and I’m quite happy and impressed with it overall. After stepping on and breaking waistbelt buckles in the past, the feature of the removable waist belt was a big selling point for me. There are a few things worth mentioning though. First, I found the separation of the main body of the pack (where the rope goes) and the front panel (where everything else goes) initially a little hard to use. What I found that works fairly well – once the rope is in – is ...

I love my High Noon Sun Hoody! There are so many options for sun protection layers but after doing some research I decided to go with the high noon and could not be more satisfied. The material is durable and breathable yet light. It makes for the perfect layer for the desert sun. I also really appreciate Slots primary focus being on desert apparel and gear. Stoked to continue supporting this new rad company and grabbing more Slot gear!

This Sun hoodie fits well and seems like it will last a couple seasons of canyon guiding. Heavier than others I have but also will last longer and is white so it doesn’t attract the sun like darker colors do. So far I really like this hoodie.

The sun hoody is perfect for long days in the sun. I've used it most frequently going out on my paddle board. It's a great combination of sun protection while still offering breathability for hot days. Would highly recommend!

I figure it's about time to write on honest review of this bag. I got this bag in October of 2022 and have completed 30+ canyons since then. I am very rough on packs. I have definitely put this pack through a lot. Being thrown, dragged, smashed, rubbed, and covered in mud. I love this bag. I think it feels good to carry and has enough room to carry what I need. The first canyon I took it on was Heaps Canyon in Zions. I was able to fit a 300 foot rope in the bag and 200 feet on top, a sleeping ba...

I love this pack! Simple, durable, comfortable, holds plenty of gear, and looks great! I have used it for a few days of sport climbing and it is perfect. I also have used it for a day of paddling SUP and I love the drain hole feature when tossing wet gear in the pack. It has quickly become the go-to pack for me. Sweet bag!

I got this hoody and really like the coziness and and comfort. I was wearing it as a layer while belaying and out casually, but now my 17 year old stole it and won't give it back! This hoody is really nice.

I love this hoodie!! I have had some skin cancer removed so it is super important to keep covered. This hoodie does the job. Hood fits nicely under the helmet or over the top keeping the back of the neck, ears and side of the face protected.

I was skeptical that these shorts could distinguish themselves from other desert hiking shorts. Boy, was I wrong. Stepping into them, the first thing you notice is how light the fabric is compared to some competitors. Next, the slightly stretchy but clearly durable nature of these shorts immediately reassured me that they had been thoroughly tested by folks with more experience and greater demands than me. Finally, I sat down in a size XL and discovered they are cut perfectly for a 6 foot 195 l...

I would highly recommend shopping on this site- the customer service is top tier. I emailed them about a missing package and they figured it all out with me immediately! I was highly impressed and grateful and my husband has LOVED the gloves they are PERFECT:)

The wetsuit bag is a great accessory! I commonly use a 5mm full suit for class C canyons in the San Juans. The wetsuit used to fill up half the bag! The bag easily attaches to my pack allowing me to now use the main pack for all the technical gear required for the descent.
Then upon dropping in, the wetsuit bag goes away and I'm left with a small pack for the canyon. Great idea guys! Thanks for your innovative work.
Cheers,

I love the way the rope feeds out of the bag and all the organization it has in it. I'm definitely gonna put it through its paces in zion but so far I'm impressed. It's the best pack I own by far. I switched from a rodcle pack and don't regret that decision at all.

This is my new favorite fleece. I've had it for a while now and it's really a lot warmer than I expected. Very very comfortable. I find myself reaching for these even on cold mornings in the house instead of my hoodie. If they had other colors I'd buy one in each color!

Love the fit and feel of this sun hoody! I have a few REI and OR branded ones, but this is my new favorite. I'm 5'8" 175lbs and the medium fits great. Room enough for a layer under, but still comfortable without.

I have this pack in both the 38 and 50 Liter versions. Started with the 38 and have now added the 50 for the reasons set forth herein. The exterior is LITERALLY indestructible, with rhino-hide fabric and tough nylon stitching guarding all the seams. The interior is divided for rope on one side and gear on the other with numerous gear pockets and tough hanging loops. But you know what? These packs are absolutely the BEST as travel packs, fitting in the overhead and with plen...

I read the reviews before purchasing but my optimism was high and so was I thinking I could wield it into fitting my LOTR dwarf sized frame. I'm 5'3 130 and I maxed out the chest and packs straps and could have continued on cinching. This pack is designed for a large framed male/female.
I love the material, the compartments, the water bottle holder and above all the wetsuit option on the outside......g darn brilliant.
