Arc'teryx heeft voor 2008 een nieuwe Ultra Light rugzakrange aangekondigt, de Cierzo:
Finally, there's another new range of packs on the cards “designed for summit sprints or as an easily stowable secondary pack on expeditions.” They're called the Cierzo packs and they come in 18 and 35l versions, weighing 255g and 553g depending on which member of the family you're after.
As you'll have guessed from the weight, they're pretty minimalist, designed to carry the bare essentials up the final few metres to the summit and to be easily compressible into your main sack the rest of the time.
To give a few examples of things you can manage without at the last gasp, the 18l version doesn't have a back panel and the hip belt and sternum straps are removable just in case you want to ditch a few more grams.
Its big brother, the Cierzo 35, contains a foam back-pad which is slightly schizophrenic and converts into a camping mat when it's off duty. There's also a hydration pocket and an ice axe loop. And when you want to stow the pack away, it fits inside its own lid pocket. Handy.
If that sounds like your cup of tea, put your hand in your pocket to the order of £35 - or £70 for the larger version - and the Cierzo is yours.
