Black Diamond Butler — Mountain Gear for Urban Life
From websites:
- Black Diamond Butler
Great for sit-starts, dynos, circuits, traverses and similar moves, the one-inch thick Butler is half sport pack and half bouldering pad that converts into a rucksack to carry your gear.
Removable padded shoulder straps and a beefy full-length zipper let you throw your rack, your shoes — even your keys — in the middle, zip it up, and head to the boulders or crag.
Dimensions (open): 36 x 36 x 1 inches (92cm x 92cm x 2.5cm).
Weight: 3 lb. 5 oz. (1.5 kg).
-----------------------
I see this device as an ultra-cool, technical yet low-tech briefcase/carry-all/backpack for anything and everything under the sun.
If it's tough enough to go mountaineering it can certainly handle your sweaty gym gear, funky lunch and anything else you might happen to pick up in the course of your day.
Nice color too.
By the way — what's a dyno?

What's a "bouldering pad"? I can find loads for sale on the web - but not a single site will tell me what they're for!
The look a lot like nappy (that's a diaper for you left-pondians) changing mats. Perhaps that's it- they're for toilet training mountains.

A dyno is a move in climbing or bouldering when you "jump" for a handhold and your feet and hands come off the rock.
