The Tupilak is one of Mountain Equipment's finest achievements; an alpine focused, minimalist pack designed to be as tough, structurally stable, lightweight and feature packed as possible. Extensive testing, developing and researching has been carried out to ensure the pack meets the highest demands of alpinists and mountaineers all over the world. The smallest of details such as the fabric in one particular area, to calculating the volume of the pack have been analysed to ensure comfort, durability and versatility throughout its use.
The outer fabric is made from M.E's PACT fabric. Over the course of three years, this fabric has been developed with two separate companies to ensure the highest possible strength to weight ratio, reducing the weight of the bag and increasing the abrasion resistance substantially. PACT is made from a double ripstop nylon with a durable water repellant coating added to the outer to repel water and snow. The inner of the pack is then made from an air and water impermeable TPU fabric; these two materials provide the near perfect balance of durability, low weight and weather resistance.
