Black Diamond Mission 55L Backpack
Dedicated, durable and designed for ice cragging, mixed ascents and cold-weather expeditions, the Black Diamond Mission pack is our toughest alpine pack. Featuring an updated BD X-rip 420d fabric with UTS™ coating, these packs are now ultra-durable to withstand season after season of mountain abuse. These packs also provide a balanced carry thanks to its SwingArm shoulder straps, and fully strippable waistbelt, lid and frame-sheet. The new custom metal dogbone ice tool attachment provides secure attachment for technical ice tools and mountaineering axes while a front crampon pouch and a tuck-away rope strap secure gear to the outside. Finally, a drawcord skirt provides a second defense against spindrift and light precip.

Mission 55 Backpack
So far, I've only been using it to train. So, I put sandbags in the pack for weight. I really like the rocker system so the weight on the shoulders is always evenly distributed. The waist belt tightens easily to transfer the weight onto my hips.

Always love the Mission packs, simple, low frills, low weight do it all pack. Excels in extended backcountry tours and gear hauling. I've owned 3 over the years, they all are still being used because they are durable!

Perfect size and confort
Wonderful pack for two day tour for alpine style when you dont camp. Fit inside sleeping bag and extra clothes. BTW the straps are very confortable to carry extra weight.

Brilliant pack for ice climbing
Lightweight and very durable material. The customized sleeves for crampons and ice axes are appreciated. The swing arms allow for easy movement while swing axes and climbing with the bag on. Fits a single or two double ropes nicely. No complaints and highly recommended.

One of my most durable and trusted pieces of equipment
I usually don't write reviews but I wanted to give BD a shout out for this incredible pack. I've had the Mission 50 for years and I use it for anything from a leisurely day hike with the family to back country skiing, ice climbing and mountaineering. No nonsense features - plain, simple & durable pack for the mountains. I've been waiting for it to die so I can justify buying a new one but it keeps on going. Well done guys! Please bring back the lower beefy side straps for the skis though by the time I'll buy the next Mission. Being able to strap the skis and have them not wobble is important.

Built for mission
Sturdy feeling. A bit on the heavy side. I would love to have a pocket on the waist belt

The backpack is pretty good, it easily adjust to any adventure that I am going into multy day backpacking or mountaneering, it is spacious to put in many things and be confortable outthere.

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.
