All about pushing the limits, exploring unknown territory, and inspiring the next generation of alpinists.

Two years in the making and one of the largest international mountaineering expeditions to leave NZ in four decades.

Macpac has been equipping outdoor enthusiasts to adventure better since 1973. Our heritage is built on resilience, preparation, and pushing beyond the expected. NZ Paralympics shares that same spirit. It’s grit under pressure, determination in adversity, and the ability to adapt and perform, whatever the challenge. That’s why we’re proud to partner with the NZ Paralympic team again – supporting athletes who weather everything, with technical apparel built to do the same.

This is scoped.
