Why We Like The Mission 55L Backpack

From summer sends to winter expeditions, the Mission 55L is built to tough out year-round pursuits. As we navigate cruel conditions, the dynamic harness system keeps our load stable, while the coated fibers brush off snowdrift and ice crumbles. To save weight and boost mobility on mixed routes, we strip off the lid, frame sheet, and hip belt, paring down this pack to the necessities.

Great addition to the collection

Very good backpack, durable, easy to carry and load. However, was not mindful of how I loaded the pack and ended up constricting blood flow to the arms and shoulders. But it was all fine after distribution the load around properly.

Awesome pack

Another great design by BD. The full length zipper allows access to the entire pack without having to load and unload all the contents to get to the bottom. When loaded up with weight this pack carries very well.

Good pack, but could be better

Good pack with each of the features working well individually, but do not work well together. Found that rope storage is good, but if the side straps are needed for other bulky items (pickets, big sleeping pad), the rope does not sit well on top of the objects and can't use the side straps, only the rope buckle which is hard to secure the entire rope. The shoulder height adjustable buckle works well but pops off very easy. Usable for overnight trips and can hold large amount of weight, pack suspension system works well.

I hope they call me on a Mission…

I love the minimalism provided by Helio packs for quick powder forays. But the Mission is a dream for longer hauls when one needs to haul more hardware. This said, it did not feel heavy. Rather, it felt burly and supportive in the right places and I felt unencumbered on the up and the down. Form and function mashed up for this puppy. I only wish it came in a different colors so my vanity would be gratified.

Not sure about suspension system

I love the crampon pocket and tool attachments but I’m not sure about the suspension system. Straps don’t have a lot of cushion and it feels like it shifts or sways a lot (maybe by design?).
