Ranger with "Ithilien green" Jensen Pack™ in Rivendell.


New for 2010

We are re-introducing some vintage, Rivendell Designs from the 70's, including three new small capacity packs available starting April 2010. Please see Day Packs for more information.


NEW! Mariposa pack.

Our Flagship Product

The Jensen Pack™ is the original frameless backpack. Perfected by the American climber Don Jensen in the mid-sixties and produced commercially by Rivendell Mountain Works from 1971 to 1981, this classic design's hallmarks are simplicity, functionality, durability and aesthetically pleasing good looks.

Rivendell Mountain Works is pleased to once again be producing The Jensen Pack™. This is a true, vintage, hand made backpack. The Jensen Pack™ is considered by some to be the pivotal design in the "soft pack" revolution.

Rivendell packs are not factory manufactured. These packs are made by elves, in small numbers in our cottage workshop, located in Rivendell, USA. Seriously though, we have a home based, micro-cottage production philosophy. "Small is beautiful"

The Jensen Pack™ is a delight to carry, moulding to the shape of your back. It is unbelievably comfortable, and we think it is possibly the quietest pack you will ever carry.

Our 2010 Limited Edition Jensen Pack™ is not a reproduction; we make these packs from the original patterns and to the same high standards.
