Focus on the Cirque Rucksack A multifunctional pack with optional modules for total versatility

After 20 years of manufacturing rucksacks in Australia it is not surprising we have established another benchmark in rucksack design.  Here we feature the Cirque 70 and women's Cirque 60 rucksacks.

The Fabrics DuoGrid with DrySat proofing Working with Bradmill Textiles, Australia's leading polyester-cotton producer we developed the perfect backpack fabric, DuoGrid, which offers superior strength for less weight.

DrySat proofing renders DuoGrid waterproof for longer. In the lifetime of a backpack the fabric receives a great deal of abuse. The proofing on coated fabrics will crack and eventually peel after several years of use. DrySat waterproofing is a process that impregnates DuoGrid fabric, achieving complete saturation with the waterproofing resins. As there is no coating to wear, crack or peel, DuoGrid provides a total waterproof barrier that will deliver many years of waterproof service. Perfect for Australian conditions. To maintain the waterproof integrity of DuoGrid, we bind the seams with a polyester-cotton canvas which also has DrySat proofing.

Duratex 1000 The heavy-wear areas of the packs are protected by an overlay of highly abrasion resistant Duratex 1000. It is 100% hard-wearing nylon with the very best waterproofing coating possible, adding extra waterproofness to those areas of the pack. Protech Mountain Designs devolped this unique material to protect areas from cuts and punctures. Its anti-slip characteristic is also utilised on our lumber pad. Minimum Seams The pack has been designed to minimise seams, contributing to greater strength and waterproofness. Curved Bottom Compartment You will note the ease with which the bottom compartment is accessed. The curved zip allows you to fold the flap down for convenient access, even when the pack is full.
