Alpinisto 38 LT Rucksack

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

UOG TOP PICK -Alpinisto 38 LT Rucksack –The Alpinisto is a lightweight Alpine pack that has all the features you need for an adventure above the snow line. A specialised bit of gear we love to have on us when we are in the mountains in the winter, one of our Top Picks

Gregory says:

A minimalist approach pack, or a streamlined ascent pack, the Alpinisto 38 LT has enough space for long days, with the configurability to match the task at hand. Lightweight materials and durable aluminum hardware give you the confidence to move fast in the Alpine.

Our Verdict

The Alpinisto is Gregory’s lightweight alpine ruck sack that is minimal but still has many of the feature that you need for your alpine adventures. 

The bag itself is made from a lightweight but durable high-density nylon with a double layered panel at the bottom of the bag, that offers a good level of protection for the Alpine environment. 

Simplistic features such as the elastic at the front for crampon attachment, ice axe loops on the side, reinforced ski loops and gear loops on the hip belt, all provide the features that you need but are easy to use and not overengineered. 

It’s not as fancy as some of the other Alpine bags on the market but it doesn’t need to be as it has all that you need and remains very lightweight.
