About Us

Since the founding of chrispacks, one thing has been paramount: we only sell equipment that has proven itself in practice, whether for long-distance hiking, bikepacking, or mountaineering. Whenever possible, we test many things ourselves. Our products are selected with great passion, so we can offer you the best advice on every item!

Chris

Chief Sewing Officer and Head of Everything. Severely infected with the UL virus since the PCT trip in 2017. Had already traveled extensively before that, whether trekking and kayaking in the USA, NZ, Nepal, South America, or mountaineering and ski touring in the Alps. More recently, also often on the bike and with the packraft.

Lena

Lena is the best assistant in the world – and always there when Chris urgently needs to get some fresh air.

Lena, tell us a bit about yourself:

Hello, my name is Lena and I support Chris in the shop.

"My passion is nature: In my free time, I'm drawn to the mountains, where I enjoy hiking and climbing. Longer trekking tours also excite me – which is why I've already been to Scotland, Norway, and Slovenia.

The PCT is, of course, one of my dream destinations, but I wouldn't say no to a desert tour either.

With my enthusiasm and personal experience, I'm happy to help you choose the perfect equipment for your next adventures."

Timea

I spent my youth on expeditions with Herzog, Krakauer and Hillary - well, only in my mind and with a book in my hand, of course. But the strategy that these stories would put me off mountaineering didn't work, sorry Dad.

They showed me that I could live my time on this planet in the way I found most meaningful, and that mountains would play a big role. So for over 10 years, I've been on foot, on ropes or
on skis in the Alps and on other continents to experience the beauty, wisdom and power of nature. And I want to enable you to do the same - as a guide and your contact person at
Chrispacks. ;) Timea has been rocking the Chrispacks shop every Thursday since March.
