Alpkit Ibex Alpine Climbing Rucksack

The Ibex is a 50 + 10 litre lightweight alpine climbing sack with simple but well thought-out features for uncomplicated mountaineering and trekking.

Ibex has been designed to be a lightweight beast of burden. Big enough to gobble up your rack, ropes, helmet, harness, extra layers, a sausage roll, and camping equipment, yet light and trim enough for you to stomp up a snow encrusted Scottish gully.

Designed and made in the UK with rock solid construction, uncompromising and durable materials, and attention to detail that can only come from hours of lugging kit around the hills and spending nights under the stars.

  • 500D Cordura base and VX21 panels chosen to balance weight and durability
  • Detachable VX21 lid with large main compartment and zipped valuables pocket
  • Detachable waist belt with hip stabilising straps
  • Chest strap with vertical and horizontal adjustability
  • Extension chimney lets you carry more stuff
  • Thermo-formed shoulder straps with top stabilising straps
  • Thermo-formed back panel in 2 sizes with removeable back stiffener
  • All contact points bar-tacked and webbing sewn into seams for strength
  • 4 side compression straps with 25 mm Duraflex S.J. side squeeze buckles
  • Top carry strap for rope / coat
  • Removable ice axe loops and bungee straps
  • Hydration port
