DMM Transit Rope Bag, 30 L

The DMM Transit rope bag in the 30 L size is a carry bag for climbing rope that keeps the line clean and ready to deploy. The 30 L size suits a single climbing line of moderate length and is compact enough to clip to a saddle or tuck behind the seat.

Packing and using the Transit bag

Flake your rope in loosely, hand over hand, and leave the working end on top. At the next tree you open the bag and the line feeds out without the knots and twists you get from a coiled rope tossed in the truck.

The 30 L size suits a single climbing line of moderate length and is compact enough to clip to a saddle or tuck behind the seat. If you climb on one rope and rig with another, a second bag keeps them apart and makes it obvious which line is which.

A bag also protects rope from UV while it sits in the sun on the drop zone, and it keeps the line from being stepped on, driven over, or dragged through mud between trees. Those small savings add up to a longer service life for an expensive climbing line.

Sizing and rope care

A bag that is too small is slow to pack and hard to close, so size up if you are unsure. See the other rope bags for more capacities.

Shake out sawdust regularly and let the bag dry before storing a rope in it. Keep climbing rope away from fuel, bar oil, and sharp tools, and inspect it before every climb; life-support rope must be retired if it shows cuts, glazing, or contamination.
