The Arc’teryx Acrux 50 Backpack answers your alpine climbing prayers with 2810cu inches of completely waterproof storage and a weight of only 3lb 11oz (regular size). Its seam-taped VaporTight fabric and dry-bag closure keep every drop of moisture away from your belay jacket, sleeping bag, and all other gear packed inside. The Acrux 50 Backpack is the perfect size for alpine routes that are long enough for one or two bivies, and its streamline design is ideal for technical pitches. This Arc’teryx pack uses pre-molded shoulder straps to keep you comfortable pitch after pitch. The lid, two aluminum stays, and the pre-molded Binary Hippods are removable for times when you really need to shave ounces. *Available for US shipment only.

Arc’teryx Acrux in the alpine
I can t even come close to describing how great this pack is. After years of suffering under a lightweight frameless pack, I gave up and went for this thing. Not only is it a pound lighter than the Cold Cold World backpack I was using, it supports loads better (no more jacked back), and it s WATERPROOF. I was sure it would feel fragile, but this pack is actually really burly. I ve even been taking on desert climbing trips without worry of it getting trashed. The profile is pretty tall and thin, so it s a little different to pack. It s also a bit tough to overload, as the top strap barely makes it over the top when this thing is full, but that s a pretty easy fix. You ll get use to the roll top pretty quick, though it feels strange at first.

First rate workmanship, waterproof, and innovative concept. Don’t let the "50" fool you it unfolds to what seems 1.5 times a 50-liter volume. Combined with short sleeping bag, insulation and an outer shell, could be used as part of a bivy. Bulletproof. Expense is my only complaint.
