Capacity: S2 = 50 litres | S3 = 55 litres
One of the world's most famous medium-sized alpine packs, the Macpac Pursuit has been used around the world and is trusted by climbers and alpinists alike for its rugged durability and no-nonsense design.
Made from Macpac's legendary AzTec HP poly/cotton fabric for strength and weather-resistance, and with critical seams bar tacked multiple times, the Pursuit is firmly in the bomber end of the market, allowing climbers to worry about the route and not their gear. Of course this approach to design also makes it a great pack for less vertical adventures like travelling, assuming you've honed your packing skills.
At between 50 and 55 litres depending on back size, the Macpac Pursuit sits firmly in the alpine ascent capacity and the Active harness system will allow up to 15kg to be carried comfortably, with up to 20kg before you really start to feel it...perfect for large racks and the other tools of the trade.
As with most of the world's most renowned alpine packs, there's a minimalist approach to features which helps streamline the pack from clutter or unnecessary weight. You'll still find all the essentials though including dual ice tool attachments, tri-point haul loops, external webbing and gear racking loops on the removable hip belt.

How to find your Macpac back length
- Locate your C7 cervical vertebra.
Working down your neck, it's the highest vertebra that you can feel protruding near the base of your neck. No need to press hard, you should feel it easily through your skin. This point is usually a bit higher than your shoulders. Its easier if someone helps you with this step. - Measure vertically from your C7 to the floor in cm.
Alternatively, mark the height off accurately against a wall or door frame with a piece of removable tape. - Find your Iliac crest.
That's the highest point of the top of you hip bone at the side. Make sure you are not taking the front of your hip bone. - Measure vertically from your Iliac crest to the floor in cm.
Alternatively, mark the height off accurately against a wall or door frame with a piece of removable tape. - Work out the difference between the two heights in cm.
This is your Macpac back length.
