Thoughtful design, well made with premium materials. Can’t really ask for more in a rope bag for this purpose. The grommets in the bottom are a brilliant simple addition that make this much more useful than other rope storage bags, the ability to have it staged with a figure 8 ready to be clipped by someone needing a rope makes this a uniquely useful piece of kit. If you carry a rad line, glacier cord, or any other small diameter hyperstatic rope for emergencies this is the rope bag for you!

This thing is absolutely perfect for the RAD 30. The double grommet is very clever. And the daisy chain is nice for clipping on your harness or a belay device when storing the kit so it all leaves the house as a unit. Check out Dave Searle’s video on YouTube to see the setup in action. I happened upon the video by chance after buying the bag. Super helpful.
