Custom-Made Hiking Backpacks

McHale Packs Offers Mountaineer-Inspired Hiking Bags for Any Weather

Seattle-based custom backpack operation McHale Packs creates hand-made bags in the owner's garage. With an impressive history as a mountaineer, climber and thru-hiker, Dan McHale designed a line of bags that are multipurpose and weatherproof to serve as the perfect bag for any activity.

With stylish colors and unique shapes, each bag has a large enough interior to hold all the essentials for a long trip and individual pockets that can be moved and customized. The straps and back padding are made from a thick material, making them comfortable enough to withstand any chafing or pain, while still being durable enough to last for years.

All of the McHale Packs are available online now, requesting exact specifications to make the bag perfect for each consumer.
