40L Alpine Machine Roll Top Pack

The Alpine Machine Roll Top Packs

Light and Tough. Just what you expect in a pack designed for alpine climbing or multiple seasons of ice climbing. 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 $645 being the base price with all the custom fitting and 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 when I am a couple weeks out from making your pack. the pack Deposits are non refundable.

Pack Volume:

The Alpine Machine is available in 40  liters. Anything bigger and i think traditional roll top packs are not worth the extra hassle. they are harder to pack due to the extra height, less versatile, and kinda unattractive. but, not to worry any of the bigger alpine machine top loading packs can be ordered with the roll top bivy extension for a lidless weather tight seal. the big differences being the roll top fabric is lighter and can be pulled down around the pack body for easier packing and finding your gear.

sizing notes:

all packs are custom fitted. please refer to the linked custom pack order form.

•  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 attachment points have 6-8 lines of stitching.  All webbing stress points are fully reinforced with a second layer of webbing on the inside of the pack.
