Canyoning rope bags
Canyoning is an exciting and adventurous sport that requires specialised equipment to ensure safety and comfort. One of the most important pieces of equipment for a canyoneer is a rope bag, which is used to store and transport the rope during a canyoning excursion. However, not all rope bags are created equal. In this blog post, we will guide you through the process of selecting the right canyoning rope bag by highlighting what to look for. Our canyoning bags offer the choice of waterproof hip bags or a well-drained grill bag to carry your ropes.
Size and Capacity
The first consideration when selecting a canyoning rope bag is the size and capacity. You want a rope bag that is large enough to accommodate your rope without being too bulky or cumbersome. A good rule of thumb is to choose a rope bag that is at least 20% larger than the length of your rope.
Material and Durability
Canyoning can be a rugged and challenging activity, so it's important to choose a rope bag made from high-quality and durable material. Look for a rope bag made from heavy-duty materials such as nylon, PVC or Cordura, with reinforced seams and stress points for added durability.
Drainage holes/grills
Canyoning often involves being in and around water of course, so it's important to have a bag with drain holes and/or grills - this allows water to rapidly drain from the bag after submersion, meaning you're not lugging around extra kilos of water with you!
Backpack Style and Comfort
Canyoning rope bags come in different styles, including backpack-style and sling-style. Backpack-style rope bags are more popular as they allow you to carry the bag on your back, leaving your hands free for doing what you do best. When selecting a backpack-style rope bag, make sure the shoulder straps are comfortable and adjustable for your comfort.
Price and Value
Finally, when selecting a canyoning rope bag, consider the price and value. While it's important to invest in a high-quality and durable rope bag, you don't want to overspend. Look for a rope bag that provides a good balance between price and value, offering quality and durability at a reasonable price. Remember, rope bags will always wear out eventually.
