20.01.2022 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

15.01.2022 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

09.01.2022 Staff Picks for Summer (Part 2) The Voyager 35L Pack | (Swipe to see a more summery shot) . Comfortable and spacious, the Voyager is the perfect pack for day hiking, commuting, or even short multi-day trips. . This is the everyday pack I never knew I needed until I got it. The Voyager is super comfortable, durable and the 35L space means it’s super versatile for day trips in the mountains or when I’m travelling. I love how many pockets/compartments this pack has because I can keep things separate but know exactly where they are. - Olivia, Marketing

09.01.2022 Staff Picks for Summer (Part 1) The Mica Dress | Here at Macpac, it’s safe to say we’re a little obsessed with gear. As outdoor lovers, we take every opportunity to test our product out there, in the environment it was meant for...and make sure it stands up to the rigours of an outside life whether it’s splashing in swimming holes, camping, tramping, exploring, bike commuting and more. . The Mica Dress is your one dress for summer adventures! Made from lightweight stret...ch fabric that dries quickly, the Mica Dress has a simple feminine cut and thoughtful details such as a zipped pocked in the side seam for small items like lip balm, deeper pockets for other essentials and most importantly, celebrates freedom of movement when you’re out and about. I love the lightness of the fast-drying, stretch fabric which inconspicuously deals with the uphill sweat build up. It doesn’t bunch or ride up in an unflattering way, nor do I overheat or get chilled by sweat-soaked fabric plus, I like the simple, feminine cut and its modest coverage when needing a discreet pee off the track. It’s a wonderful combination you don’t often find in women’s outdoor apparel practical, pretty and pocketed!
