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. 

 while the details of this particular pack are not on the custom pack order form, the fitting option and questions are. this pack requires a phone call/ zoom or in person meeting.
