Overview

The Petzl Octo Bag is a purpose-built protective pouch designed to store and transport ice screws with care. Crafted from a lightweight blend of polyester and TPU, it blends durability with a compact profile, making it a practical companion on alpine approaches and winter routes.

Smart organization for gear on the move

Inside the bag, eight compartments hold a complete set of up to 12 screws, while a mesh pocket seats small accessories. This layout helps you locate the right screw quickly and reduces rummaging in cold, damp conditions.
