TERRA COLLECTION: WHERE PERFORMANCE MEETS PLANET

TERRA COLLECTION: WHERE PERFORMANCE MEETS PLANET

CRAFTING WITH CONSCIENCE


Great gear should do more than just carry your stuff – it should carry your values too. That's why we created the Terra Collection, our most sustainable collection yet. It's our way of proving you don't need to choose between exceptional performance and being good to the planet.

INSPIRED BY EARTH


At ALPAKA we're outdoor junkies, and Mother Nature provides the playground. From mountain trails to secluded beaches, our planet's wild spaces fuel our adventures and inspire our designs.


We wanted Terra's look to reflect that connection. The Army Olive/Coyote Brown option delivers earthy versatility, while our tactical Multicam Black offers a more urban aesthetic. Each bag blends multiple ECOPAK™ fabric colors – creating subtle visual intrigue that reminds us of landscapes we love to explore.

These colorways aren’t shy though – small pops of eye-catching Revel Red ensure you don’t blend into the background. 

THE COLLECTION


We've reimagined three ALPAKA favorites for the Terra treatment:

Flight SlingYour perfect travel companion, packable yet surprisingly roomy (and yes, it fits your Nintendo Switch)
Zip Pouch Pro: The EDC organizer that keeps your small-but-essential gear from playing hide-and-seek in your pockets
Elements Tote: Our "does it all" tote that transitions seamlessly from grocery run to beach day

Each piece packs the same punch as its original counterpart, but with an eco-upgrade that feels good inside and out.

MATERIALS WITH MEANING


Let's talk ECOPAK™ – this isn't just any fabric. Challenge Sailcloth, with 35 years of technical textile expertise, has created the world's only laminate made entirely from recycled plastic bottles that would otherwise be clogging landfills or floating in oceans. Each yard of this innovative material upcycles about 20 plastic water bottles into durable performance fabric.

This stuff means business:

  • Shrugs off rain like it's nothing
  • Lasts longer than traditional laminated nylon
  • Absorbs 80% less moisture than comparable materials
  • Offers superior UV resistance and color retention
  • Performs in the harshest conditions, just like Challenge's renowned sailcloth

We've paired this planet-friendly exterior with smart features like water-resistant AquaGuard zippers and intuitive organization. Performance and sustainability teaming up for good. 

IMPACT BEYOND PRODUCTS


Words matter, but actions matter more. That's why we're putting our money where our mouth is. We’re donating 100% of profits — and more — from the Terra Collection to the Surfrider Foundation. That’s over $50,000. 

This isn't just Earth Month marketing. It's us stepping up and doing something tangible for the environments we love to explore. Learn more about our 1% For the Planet pledge and ongoing contributions. 

DESIGNED FOR CONSCIOUS EXPLORERS


Terra is for the adventurers who care. The ones who want their gear choices to reflect their values without sacrificing an ounce of functionality or style.

It's for people who understand that small choices add up – like choosing a bag made from recycled materials instead of virgin fabrics. Or supporting brands that stand up for causes. Terra doesn't just prove that sustainable gear can perform; it shows that it can look impressive doing it.

Limited quantities available. When they're gone, they're gone.
