BEAL Combi

The BEAL Combi is designed with stowable straps that allow you to tuck them away when you want to carry it like a duffel. This makes it easy to switch between wearing it as a backpack on the approach and carrying it by the side handles when navigating tighter spaces.

Yes, the ground sheet is integrated into the design to keep your rope clean, but it is fully detachable. This allows you to use it separately at the crag or remove it entirely if you need extra space for other gear.

The bag is made from water-resistant polyester, which provides solid protection against light rain or damp ground. However, it is not fully waterproof, so you should avoid submerging it or leaving it out in heavy, sustained downpours.

While 45 liters is generous, it is best suited for sport climbing setups or gym sessions. If you are carrying a full trad rack, ropes, and extra layers, it will be a tight fit, so you may need to attach bulkier items to the outside.

The straps are ergonomically designed to distribute weight evenly, making them comfortable for standard approaches to the crag. If you are planning on multi-hour hikes with a fully loaded pack, you might find the padding sufficient, though it is primarily built for convenience rather than long-distance trekking.
