Rivendell Mountain Works Jensen

If the heritage thing is going to survive past these next few seasons, designers are going to have to draw on more than just the 3 silhouettes they’ve all been inspired by. The Jensen has so far been only somewhat imitated, which is almost a pity, because this pack has more personality than Yogi Bear on mushrooms. The soft form uses your load for structure, at a time when most packs still had external frames and rigidity built in. Rivendell are still making these. They are totally classic: 50L storage is compartmentalized into 3 sections in the main pack, intelligently organizing the space into a camping-friendly system. The pack is also covered in accessory tabs, allowing for customisation with equipment loops, lights for visibility or webbing for attachments. Ideal for overnight or day hiking trips and getting nostalgic.
