Now 90% owned by an Australian private equity partnership, Macpac was the effort of New Zealander Bruce McIntyre, when but a wee teenage boy, began designing his own outdoor equipment in the mid 1970's.
With seemingly endless sales nowadays it can be difficult to ascertain a bargain from a standard. But having a look and comparing the market produces some good deals to end this endless summer.
Take for example this down vest or down jacket - lightweight and 85/15 duck down for $60 and $68 respectively. Some earthy tones to hint at what the urban warrior within you will be getting up to and wearing over the weekend.
And for us girls how about this snazzy jacket made out of real llamas for $60
A 30 litre 2.03kg carry on for $120 seems reasonable given some of the recent crumpler deals.
Their won't be something for everyone but their may just be something that is right for you right about now.
This ain't New Zealand bru !
