Ice Wrangler 35L (Revision)

Hand-built in Tacoma, WA • Ships Fast • Limited Intro Batch

Overview

Built on the proven Wrangler chassis and stripped for alpine missions, the Ice Wrangler 35L (Revision) is a short-run conversion made to perform on mixed terrain, long ice approaches, and ski-mountaineering lines.
Reinforced abrasion panels and a steel G-hook top strap make it tougher than anything in its weight class, while side compression straps lock down skis, a splitboard, or a rope coil.

Each pack is crafted from repurposed expedition-grade stock—premium material rescued from dead inventory. Every pack is slightly unique in color or trim but identical in function and construction.
