“The idea was that you could travel all over the planet with a Macpac piece. It could take you anywhere. You could trust that it was going to get you back in one piece, and the gear would stand up to the rigors of New Zealand’s most extreme conditions. I loved that notion. It wasn’t just for fine weather, or just for extreme conditions. It works everywhere.”
– Bruce McIntyre, Macpac Founder.

That founding philosophy has evolved into a collection of apparel and equipment for any climate or scenario. Their product lines cater to mountain climbers, campers, hikers (or trampers, as we call them in New Zealand) and more broadly, anyone who loves adventure and travel. But in terms of what people use our products for, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Their team is proudly based in Christchurch, in New Zealand’s South Island, and they’ve been in this neck of the woods since the very beginning. Their head office is where the concept for every Macpac product is born, before their highly skilled manufacturing partners bring the design team’s visions to life.

They are fierce in their belief that life is better when you’re outside. Their products are vehicles for adventure. By engineering gear that is specified, technical and robust, they’re equipping you with the necessary tools to embrace the great outdoors.
