Gear Review: Deuter Climbing Rope Bag & Accessories

Not all gear is made of the same quality, and that definitely holds true for rope bags. Oh, the trusty rope bag. It can be the quintessential piece of climbing equipment that you’re missing on all of your cragging days. Long gone are my days of using IKEA blue bags (although, for you dirtbags out there, that’s always an option.)

The Deuter Gravity series focuses on being minimalistic but functional. The entire line is designed to be light enough for alpine endeavors but also, with durability in mind. Their Gravity Rope Bag is made of a tough high density, denier polyamide that features high abrasion resistance, as well as being weather resistance. No matter the weather, this bag’s contents (be it a rope or snacks, or both) will stay dry inside. This kind of quality of fabric is often used for guide packs.

The Gravity Rope Bag will comfortably carry your rope to its destination. The bag has long, colored adjustable straps that make it comfortable when hauling around. The shoulder loops don’t dig into your skin and holds a rope up to 80 meters, no problem. (Siurana, here you come!)

Included inside is a Rope Sheet, which weighs only 11 ounces. The Rope Sheet can be used separately from the bag and is not connected to it, which is practical and convenient. Goodbye, rope tangles and sighs of frustration. Purchased separately, the retail price for the Rope Sheet is $35. The bag itself (with the sheet included) retails for $60.

The Deuter Gravity Rope Bag and Rope Sheet will keep your rope safe, help keep you organized, and are must-have additions to your climbing gear, with their incredibly durable and well-thought out design.

The Deuter Gravity Rope Bag retails for $60, and the Deuter Rope Sheet retails for $35.n You can purchase your own Gravity Rope Bag here.
