Mountain Equipment Tupilak 37

The Mountain Equipment Tupilak is a 37 litre weather resistant climbing pack that's ideal for summer alpine and winter climbing, though its versatility will allow it to be used for a wide variety of mountain sports.

Constructed from PACT fabric, which is a densely woven high tenacity double rip-stop nylon, making it super robust yet still incredibly lightweight. The main body of the pack uses the strongest version of this fabric, offering high abrasion and puncture resistance. The base is reinforced providing structure and durability to the pack. A lighter version of PACT is used in the upper body, cowl and the internal roll-top closure. All of the PACT fabric is DWR finished for water/snow shedding performance and has an air and water impermeable TPU internal coating. This results in the outer of the Tupilak being durable, lightweight and able to keep the contents fully protected from the elements.

The Tupilak features an hour glass shape which maximises load stability and packability. The main body of the pack is slightly tapered at its core and is more streamlined, this assists with mobility. Lightweight, supportive and comfortable high density EVA foam is used throughout; in the back panel, providing excellent torsional stability and flex control, in the shoulder straps, providing a contoured fit which will not mis-shape over time and in the hip-fins, to assist with distributing weight and to enhance load carrying comfort.

The pack is sealed by an integrated cowl-lid closure with the addition of a single securing Grappler buckle. This is easily opened and closed with one hand and with or without gloves on. An internal weather-proof cowl creates a seal from the elements and can be used as a divider for wet kit to be carried on top and if not required can be tucked inside the pack. A very handy internal floating pocket is accessible from both inside and outside the pack making it ideal for storing readily needed items such as headtorch, gloves, maps, etc. The dual ice axe head toggles are custom developed, lightweight and strong and are removable. The faired fins are designed so that they will fit a wide range of ice tools and integrated pockets protect the axes picks. All the straps on the pack can be removed if required and they are also available as spare parts should they become worn or damaged.
