Jack Wolfskin Mountaineer 46

Basic
Our technical alpine specialist, designed for mountain sports and engineered using ultra-lightweight and highly durable NAILHEAD 420D.

Our FLEXCONTACT carry system delivers optimal load control and freedom of movement on alpine terrain. The flexible back plate can be removed to save weight, turning the rucksack into an ultra-light “softpack”. Its fully-featured design makes the MOUNTAINEER ideal for alpine requirements – this is a classic mountaineering rucksack with four-season versatility.

Technical details include attachment options for rapid access to items such as a rope, helmet, skis, snowboard or snowshoes, trekking poles and ice tools. The large front gear pocket is specially reinforced to take ski skins, crampons, etc. The MOUNTAINEER 46 MEN is naturally prepped to accept an on-board hydration system. The main compartment has dual access to help you get to your kit faster.

Material
       ALUMINIUM 6061 + HDPE

An aluminium alloy with magnesium and lithium used in the manufacture of our telescopic poles and rucksack systems.

      CHAINTECH 550D

Close-weave durable Polyamide fabric with very high ripstop and abrasion resistant specifications; ideal for use as the main material or on the base section of our trekking rucksacks and daypacks. We use it in 550 and 1000 denier thread strengths.

NAILHEAD 420D

Light, extremely durable nylon, used in our rucksacks. When viewed in cross-section, it has prominent projections resembling nail heads. In the event of abrasion, the nail heads protect the material underneath. NAILHEAD is used in different strengths (Denier) on the pack and base sections of a rucksack, depending on what a rucksack is to be used for.

Technology
     REINFORCED GEAR POCKET 1

A reinforced pocket on the rucksack, designed to stow sharp items of equipment.

SUSPENSION SYSTEM FLEXCONTACT

The FLEXCONTACT carry system was developed specifically for JACK WOLFSKIN's alpine packs. It combines superb load control with mobility.


Behind the flexible back panel is a HDPE back plate which stabilises the pack. Certain packs also incorporate a central aluminium stabilising rod.The back plate and waist belt padding can be removed to save weight and improve mobility.


The waist belt can also be stowed behind the lumbar pad, which enables the rucksack to be used as a super-lightweight soft pack when a climbing harness is worn.The shoulder straps are covered in breathable AIRMESH and contact surfaces have ventilation channels for optimal carry comfort.


To deliver a bespoke fit, the FLEXCONTACT carry system is available in both men's and women's versions, with different back lengths and shoulder strap/ waist belt designs.
