    Hi, I'm looking into buying a haul bag for grade IV, V routes. What would you folks recommend as a durable yet lightweightish bag, and what size do your recommend.

    Also I am much more interested in freeing, than aiding (only if I have to), so possibly could go for less space.

    Thanks!

    Since this is ultimatly a lightweight forum maybe you should look at a combination haul bag and pack like the metolius zodiac haul pack. It has the abrasion resistance that eats up normal packs [never haul an ultralight pack]. There are several other models of various sizes.

    The Zodiac bag looks great, will have to check the different sizes out they come in (900 Cu in. maybe too small?)

    The cilogear dyneema, wow, very cool looking pack, that's one very expensive piece of gear!!!

    have you freed a big wall yet? You might check out the photo story in the last issue of Rock and Ice.

    Most folks who are working on freeing a wall have full sized haul bags and a small seconds pack.

    Our 99% Dyneema packs have definitely been hauled a bunch, but they're not haul bags, they're backpacks. A 30L Dyneema might work for your seconds pack, but…

    Metolius makes the best haul bags that are always in stock. Fish makes great ones if you can wait. Mad Rock makes the cheapest ones, made in China under god-knows-what conditions.

    Good luck.
