Go farther with a pack designed to balance trail-ready capacity, dependable support, and low carry weight. The BLACKPONGO AlpineX Rock Series Hiking Backpack is available in expandable 40L + 5L and 60L + 5L sizes for day hikes, camping trips, trekking, and multi-day outdoor travel.
Five reasons to take AlpineX on the trail
- Expandable capacity: Choose 40L + 5L for a lighter setup or 60L + 5L when your trip calls for extra clothing, food, shelter, or cold-weather equipment.
- Supportive load transfer: An aluminum-alloy frame, S-shaped padded shoulder straps, ergonomic EVA back padding, and a fully padded hip belt help distribute weight across the back, hips, and shoulders.
- Lightweight, capable build: The 40L model weighs approximately 2.33 lb / 1.06 kg and supports up to 24 lb / 11 kg. The 60L model weighs approximately 2.56 lb / 1.16 kg and supports up to 31 lb / 14 kg.
- Weather-ready protection: Durable 420D water-resistant nylon fabric helps shed light rain and trail moisture, while the built-in rain cover adds protection when conditions change.
- Trail-focused organization: An expandable roll-top, resin YKK zippers, side storage, external attachment points, compression cords, a hydration-reservoir port, and quick-access pockets keep essential gear organized.

Made for changing outdoor plans
Pack light for a fast ridge hike, organize a weekend camping setup, or carry layered clothing and sleep gear for a longer trek. External cords and attachment points keep bulky items accessible, while the supportive back system helps stabilize the load over uneven ground.
Comfort where it matters
The breathable EVA back panel cushions contact points and encourages airflow. Padded shoulder straps and the hip belt help spread the load, while the frame supports the pack's shape. Adjust the shoulder straps, sternum strap, and hip belt before each trip for a close, stable fit.
Weather protection on demand
The 420D water-resistant shell is designed for outdoor use and everyday trail exposure. When heavier rain arrives, pull the included rain cover from its dedicated bottom compartment. The backpack is water-resistant, not submersible.
