Alpine Luddites

Chamonix

 

Chamonix

The Chamonix is our modern retake on the classic Karrimor model of the same name from the late 60's thru the early 70's. It was a pack designed for climbing in the Alps.  It will hold 40-45L.

It has a conical cut to the bag, bigger at the top with a slight taper to the bottom. Features include a high-density foam padded back(removable for use as a bivy pad), a flat lid pocket, double layer bottom and crampon roll on the lid. The fabric is 11 oz Cordura nylon.  all packs are custom fitted. It comes with a removable  2" nylon web belt, the standard for packs of this type.  Please note I no longer have a good source for the toothed sliding buckles as shown in my pictures  the original. I have switched to G hook metal buckles instead, as shown.

 

How to order:

  1. place the item you want in the cart
  2. schedule phone, zoom or in person design meeting
  3. pay the $100 design/consult fee. this is applied to final cost of the pack.
  4. watch the snow fall
  5. open email that your order is up and visit/call/zoom to finalize pack/bike bags/etc.
  6. pay final invoice
  7. wait 4-6 weeks to get your gear!

The current base price is $450, but the $100 doesn't lock in the final price. It may change between when you get on the list and I get to it. I have no idea what Tariffs will do to material costs.
