Before you believe a bad review about us

We would like to respond openly to every negative review about us. Many are posted anonymously, so we cannot reach those customers directly. This open letter is our reply, and we would be grateful if you took a moment to read it.

But here is what a one-star review will never tell you:

  • We import from 70+ official distributors. That is why you pay far less than local retail — and why delivery takes longer. We publish the date before you pay, never after.
  • You can pay only when your goods land in Johannesburg. Pay on Arrival, no full payment up front. Ask yourself what scammer offers that.
  • Nobody has ever lost money with us. You get the product, or you get a refund. There is no third option, and there never has been.
  • We are part of the ITwork group — ten years trading in Europe, nine stores, thousands of positive reviews.
  • Johannesburg and Cape Town stores open this year — real shelves, real stock, walk in and buy the same day.

We are not satisfied with our review scores, and we are not going to fix them by hiding anything. We are fixing them by being faster, clearer and easier to reach than any reason to complain.

Read the full letter — photos and video of real shipments, and a straight answer to every accusation.

A 45-litre alpine climbing pack built for vertical missions, the Blue Ice Octopus Pack 45 L in Shadow delivers a frameless, low-profile carry with a roll-top closure and removable back panel. Its 210D ripstop nylon 66 shell shrugs off rock abrasion while keeping weight minimal, and the integrated rope strap secures a full cord over the top. Dual ice axe loops, side compression straps, and a removable webbing waist belt keep the load stable on technical approaches and multi-pitch routes.

Advantages

The Octopus Pack 45 L strips away everything that slows you down. The thermoformed EVA foam back panel is removable, letting you strip the pack for summit pushes or use it as a bivy pad. A drawcord with roll-top extension expands capacity for extra layers or a rack, while the top-loading design provides fast access at belays. The sternum strap includes a whistle for emergency signalling, and the internal hydration sleeve keeps water close without external bulk.

Suitable for

  • Alpine climbing and mountaineering
  • Multi-pitch rock routes
  • Lightweight overnight bivouacs
  • Approach hikes with technical gear

Recommendations

Pair the Octopus Pack 45 L with a lightweight alpine rack and a 60 m single rope for fast and light objectives. For winter routes, add a pair of technical ice tools in the dual loops and keep a puffy accessible in the roll-top extension. The pack's slim profile excels on chimneys and off-widths where bulky frames catch.
