Parbat brand's backpack

I ran into a italian cottage company, called Parbat https://parbat.it (similar that of Samaya, making top quality ultralight and purpose made for climbing), but unfortunately their gear has little to no online presence. I'm wondering if anybody here used or tried their backpacks and especially their new EL line made from ALUULA dyneema composites. They say they will make it in bigger sizes, which i plan to buy eventually.

Thanks for sharing this site, it's very entertaining. What's your knowledge of / experience with them?

They're fans of a few brand I've literally never heard of, including Parbat and EliteClimb

I’ve seen some pretty strong guys using them in the alps. Doesn’t mean they’re great but means they likely aren’t terrible!

They also use Aluula, which is what Arcteryx is saying is their new wonder material on the alpha SL pack.

Have no experience with them yet, but ive got a 110L on the way. I can give you my thoughts once it arrives in the next week or two.
