30L NWD

Light is Right

Alaska, and the Ruth Gorge in particular, contain some of the finest terrain on earth for cutting-edge Alpinism. And as this season rolls around, more Cilogear packs than ever will make an appearance on Alaska’s high peaks. In 2008, Alpinist featured nearly a dozen separate newswire entries featuring our packs in Alaska, and the favorite [...]

Dyneema® WorkSacks

After about two years of testing the stuff, we’re selling Dyneema® packs. We’ve made, used, destroyed on routes and  on machines in here in Brooklyn, and even through pure idiosyncratic nastiness about forty different Dyneema® packs in this time.
