Built for the Elements


YKK No. 10 coil zippers
All seams of stress are double stitched with No. 16 nylon or polyester thread. Points of great stress are backed with webbing and/or leather reinforcement. YKK No. 10 coil zippers are used throughout. These durable, self-repairing zippers are recognized everywhere as the industry's state of the art. Each zipper is equipped with dual sliders, so compartments can be accessed from anywhere along the zipper. Generous weather flaps protect the zippers from abrasion and keep rain out of the pack's contents.

The outer pack is constructed from 11 oz.1000 denier Cordura nylon.


Inside reinforcement detail
Cordura is far more durable and abrasion resistant than the pack cloth typically used in backpacks today. Fabric pieces are individually hot-cut to seal the edges and prevent fraying. The back panel in contact with the wearer's back is covered with a cotton/polyester blend of corduroy for enhanced comfort when wearing the pack without a shirt in warm weather. We sandwich a layer of polyethylene between the corduroy and Cordura to prevent perspiration wicking into the pack. Internal baffles are made from 425 denier nylon pack cloth to reduce weight. We do not claim The Jensen Pack™ is waterproof - no fabric pack is - but you can minimize water penetration of seams by applying a seam sealant to all sewn seams, which we recommend for all packs including ours.

Our proven waist buckle is now made from Stainless Steel, it is exceptionally strong, lightweight, quick releasing, easy to adjust, and will not slip. For tie-on points, our packs are fitted with Rivendell's exclusive barbell-shaped leather accessory patches. The leather we use is an 8oz. latigo for durability and weather resistance.The barbells are durable and highly functional, and they give The Jensen Pack™ an aesthetic touch rarely seen in packs anymore. We think of the barbell leathers as Don Jensen's personal signature.
