HAUL BAGS & ATOM SMASHERS

A strong and extremely durable haul bag is needed as much as any other single piece of gear when wall climbing. If your haul bag should tear or wear through and spill the much needed contents into space, chances are you'll be in a heap of trouble. Fully understanding the need for an exceptional material that would have unreal abrasion resistance and the requisite strength for the application, we set out to find the ultimate haul bag fabric. The now famous FISH RBS Fabric has become the often copied standard for all haul bags, regardless of make. We feature this coated fabric on all of our haul bags, and occasionally have colors other than the standards listed below.

Overall height is 36" not including the collar, and the diameter of the bottom is 18". The shoulder straps and waist belt are 3" wide, fully padded, and easy to remove before hauling. Recent changes include a new easy to use suspension system, adjusted sizing, an adjustable daisy chain, a drain hole, and more. 9000+ cu.in.(148 liters) For sure the best value in big and tough haul bags on the market.

HAUL BAG TIPS: Cover all exposed stitching on your haul bag with Plastic-Dip tool handle coating. This stuff is amazing and can add years to the life of your haul bag. If it is really dumping rain on you, your haulbag might fill with water and make hauling impossible. If so, punch a hole in the bottom with a knife or short piton for drainage.
HAULING TIPS: Never use a biner as a pulley while hauling unless you are forced into it. Using a high quality pulley will make the hauling much easier. Buy the best one you can afford (Russ Anderson pulleys rate very high). Become familiar with advanced hauling systems and the methods of mechanical advantage before going up on a wall. If you can't move the bag because of injury or fatigue, these methods will make the impossible haul possible. Take a fat guy with you and use him as a counterweight. Be certain he never actually gets out on lead or there might be trouble.
BONEHEAD TIPS: Never use the daisy chains on the bottom of the Atom Smasher (or on the bottom of our Haul Bags) as the anchor point for a free-Jumar line. It is fine to haul the ropes up to the station this way, but never let anyone Jumar on this line until it is secured to the anchor directly. When your haulbag gets to the anchor, clip in the attached daisy chain to the anchor, then slowly lower the weight of the bag onto the daisy chain. Now, before you take the hauling system apart, pull out enough slack to tie the haul line directly into the anchor. Once the bag is tied into the system with the main haul line, then take the hauling system apart. This way, if the daisy chain breaks, the bag won't rifle 165' and rip the head clean off your partner at the station below.
