Stache Ice 38

Let me start by saying that the BlueIce team is simply amazing! The first time that I ordered the backpack it was not delivered and the team did the impossible to send me a new one before I was leaving for my next trip. This within a working week!

Concerning the backpack, I would say that is a simple as it gets to a companion for every adventure. With the possibility to tight down the side and make the backpack small it works perfectly fine while climbing. The hip belts which do not interfere with the shoulder straps is also a nice addition which before was not taken into consideration.
Furthermore, the zip on the side to access the backpack even when carrying it, what a treat.

The fabric is super resistant and also hard wearing. It prevents also water to come in, but for sure is not a waterproof backpack.
The only pity is that the colour is very light and if you use the backpack on muddy situations, grass or places where the ground/surroundings can stain the fabric, then you have it, it won’t be white anymore.

A part form that, I truly recommend it in particular if you need a light companion for two/three days trip or during the winter while approaching an icefalls.
Also for a day climb it works but
For sure if you don’t have a lot to carry it might be a bit bulky.

Super light bag with all the essentials and nothing else. Used for a week so far in Scottish summer for climbs and some rainy munros. Bottom of the bag got a bit wet inside at the end of a second wet day, but overall a class bag that suits exactly what I was looking for. Only downside so far is that to open the zip pocket at the top of the bag, you have to unhook the main compartment closure, which means I can't access the zip pocket by reaching over my shoulder with the bag still on, but easy to live with for all the rest of the features.

Als Berg- und Skiführer bin ich sehr viel unterwegs und brauche einen leichten und geräumigen Rucksack. Meine Hauptnutzung ist auf Hochtour und Hochtourenkurs. Besonders auf das Gewicht lege ich großen Wert. Ich bin sehr zufrieden. Wenn es nass wird sollte man allerdings eine Hülle darüber ziehen oder wie ich einen wasserdichten Innensack nutzen. Eine kleine Reisverschlusstasche oben reicht gerade für Telefon und etwas Kleinkram aus, ansonsten nutze ich kleine Stoffbeutel, um den Inhalt zu organisieren. Sehr gut ist der seitliche bis nach unten reichende Reisverschluss. Den nutze ich sehr häufig, da man Zugriff auf unten liegende Gegenstände bekommt ohne den ganzen Rucksack leeren zu müssen. Fazit: Würde den Rucksack wieder kaufen!!

Good fit/profile, light, durable. All required features. Exactly as promised.

A very lightweight backpack with plenty of space and an excellent fit. Highly recommended

Reçu depuis peu. Et juste testé sur des randonnées. La légèreté est impressionnante. La ceinture ventrale est large et offre un bon maintien. Le sac est bien pensé avec beaucoup d'astuces notamment d'accès.

Very light but still funktional and strong. This Pack ist reduced to the max.

Very light with functional details.

Enough space to keep all necessary stuff. Clever crampon storage!
