FS: BD Shadow 55 and D.D. Alpine LTW

[Chad_A]

I have a BD Shadow 55 that I bought last year, that I'm getting rid of. It's been on quite a few trips, but has quite a bit of life left in it. I believe it's 3360 c.i.; 3 lbs 7 oz. It has a couple of scrapes that have been bandaged up with a schmear of shoo-goo, but just small ones. The could probably be redone with seam grip, or something else. It functions well as a two day alpine pack, and carries pretty well, considering its light weight. Included are two ice clippers, installed on the waist harness. The SilNylon construction deters water well, so if you're careful, the contents of the pack stay dry when the weather craps out on you. Size is "one size fits all".

 

Also, I have a Dana Design Alpine LTW, short torso version. Great shape, barely used, absolutely no damage. I've added a couple of gear loops/tool holsters onto the waist belt. The pack, I believe, is 4700 c.i., and weighs just over six pounds. You can make it lighter by leaving the shov-it panel at home, and removing the water bottle holsters. Carries like a Cadillac; great for an extended mountaineering trip, or backpacking trip.

 

I'll post pics later today, as soon as the gallery (or my PC, whichever is giving me trouble) stops acting up, and lets me upload them.

 

70 bucks for the BD (new, 179), and 120 for the Dana (I think they're going on sale right now, or on clearance, for about 200). PM me any questions. I'll have the pics up as soon as I can. Thanks for any interest.

 

Shipping is negiotiable, btw. I could deliver them around Portland, here, but anywhere else...well, we'll see what the shipping cost is

Black Diamond Shadow 55

 

Here's the patched areas- one on the front upper panel, where the end of an ice tool poked a small hole in it...the shoe goo is peeling off. I'll probably smear some seam grip on it today to fix it again.

And, the bottom corner that got scuffed a bit when I was slipped and hit it while negotiating a talus field...

 

Here's the Dana Design Alpine LTW.

...and the gear/tool loops that I've added to each side of the harness.

Ok, now c'mon! I wanna sell these things.
