An EN certified concept which is integrated into an authentic lightweight mountain backpack solution for the alpinist who loves to climb/hike & fly; this was the core essence of our design goal.
Thinking differently, using specialist lightweight materials and making extensive testing and development in the Tatra Mountains of Slovakia, has made this unique concept of CRUX a reality.
Crucially, CRUX enables simple, direct access & deployment of the harness from the lower section of the backpack whilst keeping all the other gear in place, compartmentalized within the backpack.
Despite being lightweight and of minimalist design, CRUX offers good levels of in-flight comfort utilizing the shoulder and waist straps of the backpack for added comfort. The harness can also be worn whilst climbing & roping up.
The backpack itself is designed to be the authentic climbing partner. Light weight, anatomically shaped, stable and compressible from both top and sides. The 56 litres of volume ensures ample space for all your gear and wing. Included are many specialist features which you would only expect from a top level climbing backpack.
The combined weight of the harness and backpack is only 1250g*.
It is possible to use the harness & backpack independently of each other if desired.
Harness only weight; 360g*.
*Weight of M size without carabiners
