Alpine Luddites

Ultra Light Dyneema Dragon pack

The Dragon pack is my first backpacking/ trekking specific UL pack. this is a fully featured roll top pack  which includes custom fitting of the back length, hipbelt length and shape and fitted shoulder harness. The 45 L pack, pictured, weighs 32 ounces with frame and full foam padded back panel.

I will be adding a top loading version soon. But if you want one now we can discuss on the phone. Prices are the same.

this pack is ideal for backpacking, built to be as long lasting as my alpine packs. Ideal for long trips like the AT, CDT, or the PCT. 

 How to order:

  1. place the item you want in the cart
  2. schedule phone, zoom or in person design meeting (optional on non custom gear like duffels,classic packs ect.)
  3. pay the design/consult fee
  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 $500, 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.
