The Lite Bag 30 : Made by Edelrid, Upgraded by Scramble
The Edelrid Lite Bag 30 (LB30) is as an ultralight canyoning pack with adjustable shoulder straps and a minimal pack size. It's a simple, top-loading day pack with a drawstring closure at the top and a drainage hole in the base. Scramble have been using them as food bags and return journey "carry-on / travel packs" for the past few years. They offer their modified version here.
Why The Modification?
There was one weakness that the Lite Bag 30 had which had (until they fixed it) prevented Scramble from recommending it. The standard Edelrid LB30's drawstring cord stop, when under a heavy load (8 - 10 kg, perhaps beyond what Edelrid envisioned), wouldn't maintain its cinched closure and would drift open. You can read more in their "special mention" review here.
The Minor Mod
The problem is solved with the substitution of two components: the draw cord and the cord stopper. Scramble have employed the following:
- CORD: Edelrid's Multicord SP 2.5mm (a far superior and more durable cord with a slightly coarse outer providing more friction)
- STOP: ITW Nexus' Double Springlock cord stop (which offers a far more secure lock / grip)
The product ships with original cord and cord-lock included as extras in a zip-lock bag.
Recommended Additions (note: these do not ship with the product)
For anyone interested in using the LB30 as a day-pack Scramble recommend a couple of additional items (or their equivalents) :
- Waterproofing: Lifeventure's Ultralight 35L Dry Bag (shop-around price ~ £12 - £14, maybe less)
- Backpad: Multimat's Large 8mm Kumfie sit-mat (~ £3)
Features & Uses
- Recommended use: Scrambling, Speed Hiking, Climbing, Canyoning, Food Supply Pack
- Features: Drawstring closure; drainage hole, wider straps for extra-load carry
- Volume: 30 L
