Description of Arc'teryx Acrux 65 Backpack - 3900-4270 cu in :
|
Arc'teryx made the Acrux 65 Backpack with 4090cu in of waterproof storage and a low 4lb 3oz (regular size) weight for alpine climbers casting off on massive 4-day-or-more routes. Seam-sealed VaporTight fabric and a roll-top closure make the Acrux 65 backpack completely impermeable to any mountain storm. The lid, dual aluminum frame stays, and molded Binary Hippods are removable for your ultralight summit push. Pre-molded shoulder straps add to this Arc'teryx pack's comfort, but it's the ability to keep your sleeping bag and down jacket dry for five days straight that makes the Acrux a favorite. *Available for US shipment only.
|
|
Bottom Line: Bring the lightweight, waterproof Arc'teryx Acrux 65 Backpack on the five-day alpine assault you've been training for.

| Acrux 65 10-15-06 |
Stuart Johnston (2):  |
| I was looking for a lightweight pack. Despite the fact that my old one is more than 15 years old, nothing was as light as it (Karrimor Alpinist), apart from the GoLite which looked too flimsy. The Acrux 65 was the next best, but is still 0.5kg heavier. When looking at the pack, it is surprising it is so light, given the large amount of heavy waterproof material. The closure is very waterproof, and the whole pack stayed dry during a snowy backpacking trip. The negatives are the narrow bottom of the pack, which makes it hard to fit a sleeping bag in across the bottom. Also, the rubberized inner surface makes it hard to slide things down to the bottom. It could do with a compression strap on the large top lid. The positives: lightweight (relative to the competition), very comfortable, and very clean external design. |

| Last pack I will ever need to buy 09-26-08 |
| Backcountry.com GearGuru - Cory (10): |
| The Acrux is built so well, I really do expect it to last forever. Super Durable, Great Pack!! Initially I was sceptical of its minimalistic waist belt/ suspension system, but has proven to handle loads very well. I couldn't be happier with the simplistic design, it is versatile/ functional and YES you can carry skis "A" framed, using the compression straps. Being completely seam sealed and waterproof does make this the coolest pack ever. |

| Bomber 12-31-08 |
| Greg Hill (9): |
| I used this bag last winter and it is so simple and bomber. The material is very durable and doesn't shred under my ski edges.
When it rainy you don't have to worry. Or when we were canoeing across for witer ski touring missions I knew that all my camera gear would be dry regardless of the waves splashing over the boat.
Downside of it being so water proof is that condensation builds up and you have to dry it out.
It will last forever. |
