About Macpac

New Zealand backpack company Macpac is the offspring of ambition and experience. In 1973, Macpac’s then 19-year-old Bruce McIntyre left university studies to start his own company. His vision was simple: to design and manufacture backpacks that were more functional and affordable than anything else on the market.

New Zealand backpack company Macpac is the offspring of ambition and experience. In 1973, Macpac’s then 19-year-old Bruce McIntyre left university studies to start his own company. His vision was simple: to design and manufacture backpacks that were more functional and affordable than anything else on the market. Soon after, Bruce offered to make backpacks for a group of experienced young backpackers from the Canterbury Mountaineering Club if they agreed to help with the pack design. The pack that emerged from this collaboration was Macpac’s first internal frame climbing backpack, the Torre Egger. This original Macpac backpack design has since been copied by many other companies. Thirty years later, Macpac’s collaboration between designers and experienced outdoorsmen is still an integral aspect of the company. Daypacks, trekking packs and internal frame backpacks from Macpac have garnered many awards and accolades. From humble beginnings to worldwide prestige, Macpac continues to raise the bar in the backpack industry. ... Less

By Scout Dad from Seattle, WA on 09/15/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Casual/ Recreational What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I bought the men's version of this product for myself and a lighter product for my boy's first Boy Scout hike. Although his stated it was designed for his smaller waist, we couldn't tighten it nearly enough and he was carrying all the weight on his shoulders. I had to give up my pack to him for the trip out, now he wants to keep it. His pack is nice and fits me OK, but I want my pack back! Even with the increased weight it feels lighter than other packs due to the way it shifts the weight to the hips where it belongs. Great pack.
By NB from Yosemite, CA on 08/01/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Good Padding, Large Capacity Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Heavy Loads, Travel, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I'm a trail worker, and I've used this pack to carry all types of odd and heavy loads from chain saws to rock drills to bridge tools. I also use it on my weekend backpacking trips through the High Sierras. This pack is very, very comfortable and solid. The zippers and canvas material are heavy duty, and the pack itself is well designed. It won't shift around and throw you off balance. Because of my job and hiking lifestyle, I've used several different brands of packs extensively, and this is absolutely the only one I would recommend for great comfort and function.
Well made excellent product. By Trailblazer from Tennessee on 07/28/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Load, Good Padding, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Lightweight Best Uses: Extended Hikes, Heavy Loads, Travel, Wet Weather Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Macpac rules. The best back pack on the market. Well made heavy duty construction with loads of storage space. Quite comfortable even with close to 100Lbs of equipment. A few extra outer pockets would be great but that is about the only negative.
