We've bought the Banana Rope Manager back. This rope bag is a Kiwi classic, and it's built to last.

Heaps of people asked us to make these again, so we've done a limited, special edition run of them. 

The banana shape means an easy over the shoulder carry, and the sheet protects your rope from the dirt, adding to its lifespan. It’s a great place to put your shoes on too, keeping them clean for the send, and avoiding polishing the bottom holds of your route – good for you and the crag!

• Made in NZ
• Enough room for your rope, draws, and harness.
• 38mm webbing shoulder sling, for carrying comfort
• Small outside zip secured pocket for car keys or other wee cragging essentials
• Twin 25mm side release straps with grippin buckles to keep things from coming apart – at least before you get onto the rock

Our grippin buckles are little wonders and are working their way into numerous applications throughout our product range.

Easy and quick to use, they allow us to eliminate those potentially breakable plastic buckles. Your pack will have a longer service life and we feel a bit better about using raw materials! We've decided to put them on our website as an accessory - primarily because if you do break a plastic 25mm buckle, often you can replace it with a Grippin on the male side and cut the female buckle off, leaving the webbing loop to be the receiving part for the hook.  If you do it's a good idea to put a double fold in the end of the webbing the buckle slides on - otherwise it can potentially come off...

We call a Grippin buckle righthand if you were wearing it is one that you would hold on to with your right hand when hooking it into the webbing of a belt. A lefthand one would be used with your left hand. The other way to think about it is that the S in Cactus starts is over the hook in a righthand buckle. 

Our DB Boardstraps are our proprietary double purchase board straps. Initially they were seen on our old Sedition packs and after retro-fitting many pairs to Deepwinters we've decided to make them modular on many of our alpine packs: Patrol Pack, Miklat, Vacuole, Foray (any model), Hector (with nothing in front pocket) and pretty much any other pack with 2 compression straps.

Ask us if you're not sure if they'll fit to your pack.

• C-Reo board holders lock down securely on your board and withstand your nice sharp edges better than anything else we can imagine
• If you wrap them around twice they carry skis really well too

These little wonders are working their way into numerous applications throughout our product range. Easy and quick to use, they allow us to eliminate in many places those potentially breakable plastic buckles. Thus hopefully your pack will have a longer service life and we feel a bit better about using raw materials!

If you do it's a good idea to put a double fold in the end of the webbing the buckle slides on - otherwise it can potentially come off... The image is a right hand buckle. i.e., We call a Grippin buckle right-hand if you were wearing it is one that you would hold on to with your right hand when hooking it into the webbing of a belt. A left-hand one would be used with your left hand. The other way to think about it is that the S in Cactus starts is over the hook in a right-hand buckle.

Enjoy.
