I recently spent a day climbing at the beach (with very salty water just a few meters away) and since that some of my quickdraws don't close.

What should I do to fix it? I left them in warm water but it didn't help. I read about lubricating them but I don't understand how would I do that, the gate cannot be removed and there is no space for the lubricant.

Thanks for any advice!

Any opinions or experiences with these two backpacks? I can't decide.

Black Diamond:

Patagonia:

I could use the extra 2 liters of Patagonia, at the same time the Black Diamond looks a bit more sturdy to me, but maybe that's just the pictures.

I want to use the backpack daily around the city, going to work, carrying groceries etc., but also for light hikes and to carry climbing gear on easier days.
