$950.00
The Alpine Machine
Light and Tough. Just what you expect in a pack designed for expeditions, alpine climbing or multiple seasons of guiding. Like all the packs built at Alpine Luddites, I expect this to hold up to 100's of days in use.
I often say no 2 packs are ever alike. the custom order form is just a starting place to design your pack around. often bag proportions are adjusted to fit your actual body shape. A customer with a short torso shouldn't be wearing the same bag shape as someone with 21'' torso.
Costs: cost for the finished pack will vary, with $950 being the base price with full lid/brain, 7075-t6 aluminum frame stays , Ultra woven UHMWPE fabrics and all the custom fitting and set up options on the order form. once we have a phone call or shop visit sorting out the details and any extra options or fabrics that add to the base price i can invoice you for the remaining cost . the pack Deposits are non refundable.
Custom:
download the custom pack order form. You can see some of the most popular custom options here.
After you order a pack I'll contact you for your waist belt size and any customization. You can choose from all features: waist belt, harness size, bivy pad, frame sheet, alloy stays, crampon and ice tool attachment, webbing color and size, fitting issues, etc.
Pack Volume & Unique Features:
60, 70, 80 & 100L, plus a tall bivy extension and floating lid. Guides overstuff these packs. The rope strap secures gear with or without the lid. The lid straps are removable from the front of the pack. Some of my customers buying this pack for climbing at high altitude are going with a single stay. We sort exactly how you want your pack set up, during our phone call, once you order the pack.
sizing notes:
Construction: this pack is built with only two main seams that attach the two body panels together. There is no need to worry about blown stitching either. all seams have multiple passes at 8 -10 stitches per inch. compare that to most mass produced gear. All seams are taped for durability. All webbing stress points are fully reinforced with a second layer of webbing.
