Intro

At 89 grams, it's one of the most packable products on the market. Easy to put on courtesy of the waist belt buckle and aluminum fasteners on the leg loops, it has two rather basic gear loops and just one ice screw holder. Can be worn under trousers: just pull the two ‘rabbit-ear’ tie-in loops out above the waistband. A reference model for pros and advanced users. For just fifty grams extra, there's also the Choucas model.
