Canyoneering: The Gear
by Ted Stedman
Salomon Pro Amphib pack
Salomon Pro Amphib 300 Pack ($99):
A labyrinth of rock and water, swilling with vertical mass and liquid energy, define the mix-it-up world of canyoneering. A demanding environment like this calls for equally adept gear, such as the Pro Amphib 300, a pack that's all about water-resistance and water discharge. This 2,136-cubic-inch hauler sports large mesh panels and bottom eyelets that drain water instantly and completely—good behavior when things go submersible. Of course you've got adjustable straps and waist belt, a small removable waterproof pouch for keys and wallet, and carabineer loops. But the real piece de resistance is Salomon's own answer to modern drybag technology. Inside, a removable, full-size fabric roll-top bag can hold enough goodies for a weekend in Canyon Country. Stuff it, seal it, burp the air valve to get maximum compactness, and the water world is yours. Contact 877-272-5666, www.salomonsports.com.
