Is anyone aware of a bag around 45l, with zip access all round, no buckles or cords, other than a ski touring sack?

Sacks like the Aiguille ice fall? What do you mean by no buckles or cords- none at all?

I've an old NF 'Clamshell' one called the Double Take. 40 Ltr ish. Very comfy to carry,all around zip, but now discontinued.
They do a 'Double Shot' model now, but the Arcteryx above looks a nice, if pricey sac too
In reply to GarethSL:


I've been using this sack for the last couple of years, and wouldn't use anything else. The zip system allows it to be used as a rope bucket too, which is v useful. Gear racking is excellent, and if you have one, the Arcteryx Haku rope bag fits in perfectly.
Typical well made Arcteryx

Lowe Alpine did a limited edition Alpine Attack 20:20 (20l expandable to 40l) which was like what you're looking for:

Is a great pack for climbing with and seems to have resulted in the Snow Storm 20:20 - but that appears to be a ski touring pack:

Thanks everyone! Miura it is I think.

Where are you going to put your tools? I've got the older version of the Miura - http://www.ukclimbing.com/gear/review.php?id=3906 and I used to use it for icefall cragging in Finland but it has more straps on the outside than the newer version, which hold ice tools ok. But its very heavy and tough, not designed for climbing with at all. It just sits at the bottom of the crag.

Do the new Force Ten packs fulfill this criteria: http://www.force-ten.co.uk/gb/28-rucksacks

This brand is new to me, definitely worth further investigation.

Not sure if it of any use to you or anyone actually, quite a niche rucksack but my mate tested this for the North Face and he reckons it is the dogs nads:

As Toby said above about the Miura, same sort of thing. Bottom of the crag sack rather than climbing.

Lowe Alpine Eclipse 35 is a decent pack. It's just 35L, but rather big 35L.
It's medium weight of 810g. Has loops for axes and side straps for skis. Only problem I have with it is that it's difficult to attach a tent in the middle. The option would be to put both skies on one side and a tent on another, but with my gear it gets disbalanced.
