Mountain Hardwear AMG 75L Backpack

AMG 75L Backpack for rugged alpine expeditions

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"The AMG 75L strikes the perfect balance between capacity and functionality. Its pivoting hipbelt and padded straps make heavy loads manageable, while the haul bag-inspired base and lash points keep my gear secure, even on technical climbs."

The Mountain Hardwear AMG 75L Backpack is built to support high-altitude missions where every ounce of gear counts. Whether tackling a first ascent or revisiting a favorite 14er, this pack keeps us prepared and comfortable as we push our limits. Foam-padded shoulder straps and a pivoting hipbelt efficiently transfer weight for a dynamic carry, while the robust 7000-series aluminum frame and abrasion-resistant nylon base ensure reliability on rugged terrain.

This pack’s thoughtful design accommodates technical tools and essentials with features like multiple lash points, an adjustable tool carry system, and oversized stash pockets. The flat, stand-up base simplifies loading at camp, and the floating lid with secure zippered pockets keeps smaller items within reach. From crampons to ropes, avalanche tools to hydration systems, the AMG 75L keeps our gear organized and ready to support every step of the journey.
