Epperson Mountaineering

Mark Epperson, a world-wise man who loves the mountains, founded Epperson Mountaineering in 1973 in Montana.  Mark’s vision back then is the same as it is today; he couldn’t find any other backpacks that satisfied his demanding need for high-quality packs.  He believed that by utilizing highest quality materials, artisan craftsmanship, and innovative functional designs he could make great backpacks which he could be proud of.  Thus, he ambitiously embarked on an unending quest to create the perfect backpack.

 Today, all Epperson Mountaineering products are still made in U.S.A. by artisan pack makers with the best components such as 1000 denier Cordura, YKK zippers, mil-spec tubular webbing or exclusive Indian/Oval pattern webbing, and reinforced seam-sealed inner compartments to guarantee long-term strength and durability.

 Honoring Mark’s wishes for everlasting quality, all Epperson Mountaineering products are continuously, individually scrutinized with careful attention to detail and persistent reflection of new ways to improve the ubiquitous backpack and other personal accessory products by Meg Company in California.
