September 21, 2016September 12, 2017Climbing, ProView Gear Reviews Outdoor Prolink 2 Comments on ProView – Mountainsmith Wizard 30L

This pack from the Mountainsmith Roots Collection is a great size (30L) for day-hiking, time at the crag, or whatever it is that you’re doing around town. It’s ‘a modern twist on a 90’s climbing bag’ as their website puts…
