Wilderness Experience was founded in 1971, but by the 1990s had disappeared from the market. In 2018 Jim Thomsen, one of the original founders and president from 1971-1983, purchased the trademark and re launched the company. One of the first products available is The Klettersack, one of the best selling and most copied backpacks over the past 40 years.

Thank you to everyone who pledged for the LIMITED EDITION Klettersack. Greg and I will be signing these the first week of November and they will be sent out right after that.
These will be signed under the top pocket. There is room for a personal note, like "To John" so let me know if you would like to add something: [email protected]
And thank you to everyone for your support! I hope you have had a chance to use your new packs.

The Klettersacks (and briefcases and pouches) have left our factory in Vietnam and are on their way to our distribution center. The quality control checks before shipping passed with flying colors. We are so happy with our choice of a manufacturer.
Packaged and ready to go!
The scheduled arrival date is September 25 and we will start shipping right after that.
I can't wait to get my first new Klettersack in 40 years. Wow.

Originally we only had Men's T-Shirts available and if you filled out your survey quickly (which 80% did) there were still only Men's.
Women's T-Shirt. Black with white print. Available in S,M,L.
But we have added a Women's T, same design, in Black with white print in women's S,M,L. If you already ordered a men's, but would like to change it to a women's please email me (include the name your pledge was under) and I will make the change. ([email protected])
