Alchemist 40L Backpack

Color:

2012 Outside Gear of the Year Award Winner.

An alpine pack for big objectives, the Alchemist 40 is a 40-liter climber that sizes up easily to 55 liters when hauling heavy loads or cleaning camps after a summit push. Adjustable lifters stabilize heavy loads of varying sizes, and the entire pack cinches down small on summit day. Intuitive design with integrated, removable bivy pad, quick-access tool release function, and exterior gear organizer.

"This shape- shifter might just replace every pack you own.
For sheer day-in, day-out versatility, the Alchemist proved the best of the bunch."
Outside Magazine

"The Alchemist 40 is simple to use, lightweight and carries heavier loads well. I also can't imagine a better pack for versatility. If you are establishing a high camp and then going for a lighter-weight summit day, this is the expandable pack for you."
