Why TUFA
Some things can only be learned by hand
TUFA comes from a long lineage of mentorship and craft.
Years under masters of construction, big wall design, and advanced composite textiles.
Each one taught a different way of seeing. Together, they taught restraint.
The work stands on the shoulders of giants. A mastery of materials. A discipline of form.
A relentless process — until only the essential remains.
Nothing ordinary. Nothing extra.
Handmade in Kalispell, Montana. One at a time.
At under a pound, the Mochilla 30 carries everything you need for a fast-and-light overnight alpine push, seamlessly transitioning from the approach to technical climbs.
