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.

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 $600, 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.

Costs: cost for the finished pack will vary, with $1050 being the base price with all the custom fitting and standard options. Once we have a phone/zoom call or shop visit sorting out the details and any extra options or fabrics that add to the base price. 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 fitting instructions.

•  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. 

Specs:
