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.
