The Birth of Arc'teryx's Techiest, Toughest, & Lightest Backpack
Arc'teryx gets in its bag for its lightest, techiest, and toughest Alpha SL backpack yet.
The Canadian master of high-tech outdoor gear recently debuted its all-new Alpha SL 30 backpack crafted from ALUULA Graflyte material, which not only gives the bag this uniquely wrinkly look but makes it light as a feather in weight.
The Alpha SL 30 weighs in at just 444 grams, which sounds like a lot, but it's less than a pound, really.
SL already stands for "Super Light," as seen on other jackets and accessories in the series. But the latest backpack gives the name a whole new meaning.
The material swaddling Arc'teryx's latest bag is also super tough, promising a bag that's built to last in the long run and through even the roughest outdoor excursions. However, if you catch a snag in your new Alpha SL, Arc'teryx has these adhesive patches available for DIY repair.
Its feather-like weight certainly doesn't take away from the practicality, if anything it adds to it. The Alpha SL is still quite functional, offering plenty of pockets and flaps, removable straps, and cozy padded shoulder straps. It even has attachments for hooking additional outdoor gear or perhaps even charms to dress up your adventure. Oh, and it's water-resistant (so bring it on, rain).
Arc'teryx is really the gift the keeps giving. Just a few weeks ago, the brand dropped its exclusive "Twilight Trail" collection. Now, its back with the brand-new Alpha SL 30.
The accessory launched in white exclusively on the brand's website recently for $400....and it's already sold out.
Hopefully this is the first of many colorways to come. So, keep those eyes peeled on Arc'teryx's page for updates.
