Deuter Trans Alpine Pro SL 26L Backpack – Women’s

You’re a pro on the trail and you need a pack that reflects that. Deuter created the Trans Alpine Pro SL 26L Backpack for you—you who rises before dawn to be first on the trail. Who meticulously inspects your bike before and after each ride. Who knows the cost of the uphill reflects the joy of the downhill. Each aspect of this pack reflects the high-standards of high-intensity mountain bike athletes. The entire front panel opens for quick and easy access to key maintenance components like pumps and tubes, and has multiple zippered and stash compartments to help you stay organized.

The 3L reservoir compartment is easily accessible from a back zippered panel and the two side stow pockets hold additional water bottles so running out of water stays far from your mind. When the terrain gets spicy, the reinforced upper shoulder straps offer a comfortable carry for your bike. As the terrain mellows out, the ActiveFit shoulder straps and Airstripe backsystem work to stabilize the pack on your back and increase airflow as you weave and maneuver through single track aspen glades.

Salewa Firetail 3 Approach Shoe – Women’s

Salewa’s Firetail 3 Women’s Approach Shoe is the latest offering in a long line of genre-blurring footwear, and this scree-conquering, rock-crushing, trail-smoking legend is just getting better with age. True to the Firetail’s approach-first heritage, it comes with to-the-toe climbing-style lacing for a secure and precise fit when you’re toeing in on tricky fifth-class pitches and a super-sticky Vibram Reptail sole with MegaGrip rubber that’s optimized for traction on rocky terrain.

The Firetail loves steep rock, but it’s also plenty capable on loose dirt and slippery roots. Salewa’s famous 3F flexible fit system connects the heel, laces, and sole to provide unparalleled support without limiting mobility, and the EXA shell boosts stability, improves balance, and protects the breathable mesh upper. Better still, the Multi Fit footbed lets you adjust the volume of the shoe to perfectly adapt to the shape of your foot.

Petzl Luna Harness – Women’s

Pitches on pitches on pitches, it’s so nice to start the next pitch of climbing right where you ended the last pitch, as opposed to cumbersomely carrying your climbing rope across a dusty crag. There are a couple things multi-pitch climbers look for in a harnesses that sport climbers do not—namely, comfort and the ability to carry additional gear. The Women’s Luna Harness features Petzl’s EndoFrame Technology, which uses a wider waist band made of thin foam and sewn-in webbing. The adjustable leg loops have the same technology, and the result is a well-supported, surprisingly comfortable harness that shouldn’t have any pressure points when you’re hanging at belays.

Evolv Kira Climbing Shoe – Women’s

Find the versatile performance you need and the comfort you crave for technical multi pitches out of the Evolv Women’s Kira Climbing Shoe. This unlined shoe uses a single strap that gives a surprisingly snug fit, and its strong Synthratek VX upper conforms to your foot shape for a comfortable feel. The full-length midsole helps you edge crimps, jam cracks, and work slabs without a problem, and the VTR rand keeps the Trax high friction rubber sole solid for days at the gym.

Boreal Alpha Climbing Shoe – Women’s

Every climber remembers the first shoe they slipped their feet into. For some it was a cowboy boot (check out the history for Goodro’s Wall) while others dipped their toes into a local climbing gym’s stinky rentals. For you, however, Boreal presents the Women’s Alpha Climbing Shoe—an incredibly comfortable women-specific shoe with a low-volume fit, flat profile, and no asymmetry. Its moderately stiff midsole works with the Zenith Quattro rubber sole to help you learn how to edge and smear whether you’re in the gym or at the crag. Don’t expect the microfiber upper to stretch much, but do expect enough comfort out of the padded heel to climb long multi-pitches.
