Note - we are currently not manufacturing the ALPINIST Case.
Our patented Alpinist® Case is the first camera casespecifically
designed for rock climbing, alpine climbing, and other demanding outdoor
pursuits. Born out of the necessity to carry an ultra-compact camera
into the vertical alpine terrain, our patented Alpinist® Case design makes
minimal compromises in protecting your point & shoot camera from all the
elements found in epic pitches, long ski tours or distant travels.
"The case is so sharp-looking that you'll want it for less extreme
pursuits, too - traveling, hiking, or just jamming into your carry-on
for the weekend."
- Outside Magazine, October 2009
"Drop the camera, freeze it, soak it - we climbers nuke our photo
equipment. At last, a compact-camera case made for the vertical..."
- Climbing Magazine, Issue No.277 August 2009
"...sturdy bomb-proof construction with a great look... just a great
case for travel or taking your camera on any adventure." - J.N., Associate Editor for Outside Online
"Just got the Alpinist Case... looks bomber!" - Chris McNamara, www.supertopo.com
The Alpinist® Case was imagined, designed, prototyped, and refined
by climbers for climbers and outdoor enthusiast alike. Machined from
aircraft grade 6061 T6 and 5052 aluminum alloys, the Alpinist® Case is
lightweight, very compact, and extremely durable. Most importantly, the Alpinist® Case is designed to be carried on the harness or an external
back-pack strap and be accessible with a single free hand - thus always
within reach during vertical climbing, steep skiing, or endless travel.
The days of dropping a glove from trying to access
your camera or having to unzip your jacket at a hanging belay are gone.
No more broken cameras, no more missed shots.
