Crux is a small British based company dedicated to producing the finest mountaineering equipment. Although best known for its range of bombproof climbing rucksacks, crux makes a variety of high quality and functional equipment, from tents through to sleeping bags.
Cruxs best -known product is the ubiquitous AK47 rucksack. Launched back in 2002, it was perceived by the market as revolutionary. In fact there was nothing new about the design: inspired by his first climbing sac (a Macpac Torre from 1983), McDermott simply wanted to create a streamlined, single-compartment rucksack that was both light and tough.
Crux is committed to supporting independent outdoor retailers. You will only find our products in the UKs finest mountaineering shops.
Alpine Rucksacks Crux produces a range of sacks, varying from 30 litres through to 70 litres. Our RK and AK ranges are made from a Kevlar material. The seams are welded, making the bags fully waterproof. The newly released AX range is made from an exceptionally tough Dyneema rip-stop fabric. |
