Metolius Rope Bag Review

The metolius dirtbag ii is a solid rope bag for the price.

Metolius rope bag review. If you pack this inside your crag pack it works well for any climbing day. Not only did the dirt bag get better but it also dropped in price from previous iterations. This metolius ropemaster hc fulfills most rope bag functions adequately. While it doesn t pack a rope or pack into a larger cragging bag as easily it does offer a few other distinct advantages.

We ve been making these rope bags out of quality material since 1991 and have the perfect bag to meet your budget and climbing needs. While we don t think the dirt bag ii is the best rope bag it s a sweet no frills functional rope bag that does everything a rope bag is supposed to do. What sets the speedster apart is how well it works as a stand alone cragging pack. The first thing i noticed was that it only had 1 shoulder strap instead of two.

Still using it love every bit of it. But its worth mentioning that you cant wear it like a backpack. The metolius dirt bag ii features a much improved closure system as well as a much larger and therefore more useful tarp over the original model. The first one i bought about 2 years ago and it s still in perfect condition even with regular use.

Did not matter much to me since the rope i store in it is a very thin tag line. The rope id feature is a nice feature for folks trying to keep track of multiple ropes. I have an old metolius rope bag i bought nearly 8 years ago. The metolius speedster is a durable rope bag with some nice features.

Some reviews say it holds 70m. This is the second ropemaster bag that i have from metolius. I just bought another rope and my local climbing store was sold out of these they re very popular locally.
