25.01.2022 Don’t forget if you’re out and about this summer, you can hire a PLB from any of our stores nationwide - both in New Zealand and Australia. Adventure safe, wherever you go.

25.01.2022 If you’ve popped into certain Macpac stores lately, you may have noticed the awesome new New Zealand Mountain Safety Council kiosks. These provide interactive packing list suggestions for classic New Zealand walks and tramps, and are customised to the store’s location by playing safety videos for local tracks as well as up-to-date MetService weather forecasts for the area. We hope they will guide you through a successful pre-adventure planning process. If you’ve used one, let us know your thoughts below! . . Currently available in the following New Zealand Macpac stores: Macpac stores: Tower Junction Christchurch, Taupo, Nelson and Queenstown.

23.01.2022 Make safety a priority this summer, when you head outdoors. Check out the New Zealand Mountain Safety Council summer stories, centered around better decision making in the outdoors

21.01.2022 Exceptionally breathable waterproof protection, complete freedom of movement and a minimalist design, so every feature adds value not weight. Meet the Tempo Rain Jacket, with new Pertex Shield Air technology. One layer, no limits. #outsideisbetter #mountainsports

19.01.2022 We work collaboratively with our family of athletes and ambassadors to make sure our products stand up to the rigours of the outdoors. ‘Tested in the world’s harshest conditions’ is not something we say lightly. Last week @alastairmcdowell from the New Zealand Alpine Team and Sam Spector completed a 6 day traverse (December 12-17th 2020) from Arthur’s Pass to Mount Cook, from the Waimakariri to the Tasman, testing a prototype of a new pack in our Amp range, with a 15L capacit...y. This is the third iteration of the pack, after continuous feedback, tweaks and updates (massive thanks to @bradencurrie @sallycurrie for their invaluable feedback as well!) With this pack and careful gear selection, multi-day tramping and transalpine trips can be completed with greater efficiency. The team’s route crossed 6 passes, 200km of un-tracked terrain, with 12,000m of elevation gain. The trip was undertaken in a lightweight style, and gear included: the pack itself, running shoes, Petzl Leopard aluminium crampons, Petzl Gully ice axe, rope and harness for glacier travel, helmet, PLB, first aid kit, GPS navigation. Clothing included new Macpac elastane/polypro leggings, the Eyre tee, a hooded pro-thermal baselayer, the Nitro pullover and the new Pertex Tempo Rain jacket. A prototype Macpac zipless sleeping bag weighing only 370 grams was taken (more than sufficient for the warm summer nights). Only 2 days of food were carried at a time between food drops pre-cached in Mathias and Lyell huts. Cooking was done mostly on hut fireplaces and with a small methylated spirits cooker. Swipe to see a selection of photos from the trip, as well as a pack shakedown! Designed for lightweight overnight trips, the new 15L pack is expected to drop next summer. @nzalpineteam . . #outsideisbetter #macpacpacks #prototype #geartesting

16.01.2022 Thanks for saying no to a bag. To date, our customers have refused over 554,000 retail bags, allowing us to do more good through the Macpac Fund for Good. . . A while ago, we made the change to paper retail bags in our stores and started the 'Refuse a Bag' initiative, donating 20 cents to the Macpac Fund for Good every time customers say no to a retail bag. This fund is then used to support awesome local initiatives that are committed to creating long-term change, for the good of our people and planet. Thanks for being a part of the change. Some of the amazing organisations we have supported include: Whenua Iti, Te Waiariki Purea Trust, Birdlife Australia, Stepping Stone House and Out there Kowanyama
