Mountain Equipment Orcus 28+ Backpack

Lightweight yet exceptionally robust, Mountain Equipment's Orcus 28+ is designed to be easily carried on multi-pitch rock climbs, while still offering ample space for long approaches to towering faces and swift alpine assaults.

Regarded as some of the lightest and most refined packs produced by the brand, the Orcus series has become a trusted companion for the climbing team, having proven its worth on fast-paced winter traverses, sprawling rock faces, and minimalist alpine endeavours.

With an optimal 28-litre capacity, the Orcus 28+ comes equipped with essential features such as a secure rope strap, dual axe retainers, an external daisy chain, an elasticated compression cord system, and haul loops. Weighing only 520 g, it delivers the technical capabilities demanded of an alpine pack, without adding unnecessary weight.

Though designed with minimalism in mind, the Orcus range is constructed from ultra-tough, tear and abrasion-resistant ROBIC nylon, treated with a water-resistant coating. This makes the packs considerably more durable and resilient than typical lightweight options. The roll-top closure offers enhanced weather protection and effectively compresses the contents for a secure and stable fit during climbs.

By removing the EVA back panel, the pack can be rolled up for compact storage, making it a perfect choice for expedition gear hauls and summit bids.
