Arc'teryx Acrux 40 Backpack - 2100-2500 cu in

The Arc'teryx Acrux 40 Backpack provides 2320cu in of waterproof storage space at only 3lb 8oz (regular size), making it ideal for ultralight alpine climbing. When you pull out your down jacket for the belay, you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that it's still dry despite the spindrift on the last pitch. Arc'teryx built this incredible pack with seam-taped VaporTight material and a dry-bag closure to provide complete moisture protection for your gear. The Acrux 40 Backpack features pre-molded shoulder straps and hip pads along with a supportive Monoframe that includes two removable aluminum stays. You can remove the hip pads and lid to strip even more weight for ultralight ascents. *Available for US shipment only.

Bottom Line: Keep your gear dry in the Arc'teryx Acrux 40 Backpack while you blaze up another alpine ascent.

As Advertised

I wanted a day pack that was truly water-proof but also holds enough gear for short overnight hikes. This is it! I Love the advanced composite material (foam impregnated fabric ) it is tough, ( we now build airplanes with this technique) lite wt. durable and totally waterproof. Filled with 22lbs, I tossed the pack in my swimming pool and it not only floats but all my gear stayed totally dry. I use it for winter snowshoe treks, all-day rain treks in Scotland and have not had any moisture inside the pack. The only inconvenience is getting into and out of the pack quickly thru the roll top and bayonet fittings with the cover on. It is still my favorite pack ( I have four others). The Hybrid construction always draws OOOhhs and AAAhhs from my trekking companions.

Waterproofing for less weight than the Naos series.

By: Backcountry.com Employee
February 23, 2009

I once was in love with the Naos series of packs, and after owning one, I decided that it was too heavy for me (had the 70L). I came across a deal on the Acrux 40 and decided to give it a try. I have found that it has all of the features that I wanted in the Naos packs has but with less weight. I use it backpacking for all of my treks where water/rain is an issue. I am able to fit all of my stuff into the 40L of space, but I am not a Jetboil kind of guy so I would recommend that you experiment with packing it before you buy if you are thinking of using as a long distance hiking pack like me which is not it's intended use. I attach my z-lite sleeping pad to the back using the rear bungee. The only thing that I miss from the Naos was the strap that brought the top of the pack closer to my shoulders which made a noticeable comfort difference. So, if you are like me and you want a solid backpacking setup that is neither too heavy nor too cheap (quality wise), I would recommend this pack.
