During a visit this week to the Arc’teryx HQ in North Vancouver, I spied a MultiCam version of their outdoor climbing pack, the Alpha FL 30.
This pack used the Alpha FL’s design which will hold up to 30 liters with the collar extended (~25 liters with the collar stowed) but was made from the same waterproof laminate used for their drypacks.
I spoke with the design team and it’s one of many concepts they’ve put forward. It may or may not go into production, but if it does, it will most likely be as a limited run special make up (SMU) like the Atom SL in Wolf Grey, released yesterday.

I don’t often drool over products, but that is one good looking pack.
Less than 5 mins away from my house from where i’m sitting…
Only one reason why it’s being made in multicam as well
I was zooming in all over that photo trying to see new stuff that hasn’t been announced… I’m so pathetic.
mmmmm…myeah….. looks cool but but as a pack for climbing the FLs have been a lead balloon. like taking a ferrari off road. beautifully made, functionally inappropriate. but the gear junkies love them.
