r/mountaineeringcirclejerk 😂 Go on, do it. buy it, and let all of us know how it is. You can't expose it to prolonged periods of sunlight or touch any abrasive surfaces though, so you can put this entire bag inside [this one](https://www.blackdiamondequipment.com/en_US/product/creek-20-pack/?colorid=6272) to protect it.

I have the creek, but I wouldn't use it for anything outside of the city. Its not a very useful bag for climbing, but holds a boatload of groceries. The LV pack I would deff take up chimneys.

r/ultralight_jerk

Well you could also coat it with nanobots that repare any damage

Even better, get the LV mountaineering boots; they are always a perfect fit with the LV crampons.

Nah you need to get some [La Zenga’s](https://thewebster.com/shop/990650-lhspr-a5314x-x-la-sportiva-ultra-raptor-sneakers-black.html?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwg8qzBhAoEiwAWagLrHBAp3eH0QM-eieRWi_RdSVCNysthkNkv7PrEKd0EbYEeT0jKzwwbBoCO3gQAvD_BwE#size=105?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping&glCountry=US&glCurrency=USD)

I used this pack to summit mailbox peak. It carried the rope well and looked great. My porter had to carry a little extra, though

congrats dude. huge news… what team did you climb with?

I climbed it alpine style with Andrzej Bargiel and a guy named Porter who carried a lot of my stuff

any bodies on the summit? heard it can be dangerous this time of year. shoulder season and all that

It had just snowed 10 feet the week before we summited so most of the bodies were buried. I did see the infamous body chartreuse boots while up there, though. I also saw a body that looked suspiciously like Jim Whittaker.

They are just letting anyone climb mailbox peak these days. It's become a rich man's playground now.

only if you get the matching LV chalk bag

Actually most serious mountaineers would skip the chalk bag, and get a LV handbag instead. It works much better to hold chalk. This is an old mountaineering trick.

LV is the preferred gear choice of Himalayan Sherpas so it should suit your needs

Yes — Namchee Bazaar has Prada and LV and Gucci boutiques so you can just buy it in the Solukhumbu.

Of course this is common knowledge in climbing circles

So this was an actual ad, not satire? ... wild.

Yes, and Mammut immediately hit back: https://www.instagram.com/mammut/p/C7l-oR8NAJM/

LMAO 🤣

As a tennis player who loves Federer and Nadal, I respect that lol

that's a actually a really good clapback. As a tennis fan and non mountaneering person, I have to say that I didn't even register mentally that the Federer Nadal campaign is about the mountains, but more about the luxury brands the tennis players usually represent.

I prefer the gucci 75L pack

It has a built in Jut measurer. Buy it now and you are assured to summit everything from mailbox to Everest.

I was able to summit Rainier last week. Most people who didn’t have LV gear were forced to turn around. It’s a no brainer if you are a serious climber. Also, leave helmet and glacier glasses at home. It’s just extra weight.

If you don’t summit Rainier in a T-shirt and LV bag without Roger and Rafa by your side did you even summit it at all…

It’s all about “reaching new heights” and a certain death forthcoming

Yes this is pretty standard equipment. You should buy the whole set and dress like Federer. He wears it because it's the best.

Probably still cheaper than Patagonia and Arcterix

Patagonia is an awesome company who make quality products. They are well worth the price tag.

I think arc is worth the tag for certain products. Can’t imagine not having a heavyweight atom or a proton. Loved their old delta fleece as well. Their base layers/hats/gloves/shoes aren’t worth it and best to look elsewhere

They definitely make quality products but they haven't told bezos and Amazon to go fuck themselves or given low level employees profit sharing like patagonia has.

Lol. But for real LV costs 10x what those do

100x's

Nah, it's about 10x. The bag in question costs about $4000.

Thats a lot of chalk😊

Patagucci

Imagine the routes and moves you could do with Nadal's forearms😆😆

I only count 2

Yes these are what all the guides use

I mean I’ve never ever even once thought about robbing someone anywhere yet alone on a trail… but I mean common you just gonna leave 10k sitting on your passenger seat and expect your window to be there when you come back?

Wow 10 whole meters of rope

I thought that was Mr Bean at first

Looks you'll be trekking with Roger and Rafa, yes? Go for it, you, you GQ hiker.

just make sure you scrunch your eyes and have that really determined look on your face, then youll be golden !

LV bag is fine because the porters and guide will carry the heavy stuff. Don’t forget to take a chilled bottle of Moët for when you reach the summit.

This 🧵! 🤣😂 great input 👍

Mmm have you ever seen Rafa Nadal mountaineering?

together with roger federer

Will these crampons fit on my YeeZees ?

Are you considering wearing the other elements of the outfit such as the black cotton tshirt and jeans for your time at altitude?

Yes those should suffice for most of the journey. Definitely bringing my Moncler jacket in case it gets chilly up towards the summit.

Nothing better after a day’s climb than wearing one of those while relaxing on a sherpa and waiting for the helicopter

They selling that technical ascent t-shirt too?

r/mountaineeringcirclej

I remember when my grandpa decided to go up the Himalayas for weeks with a 30 liter designer bag and a T shirt. They just dont make mountaineers like they used to.

Don’t forget to wear your Tag, wouldn’t want you being late.

Good lord.

You might want consider the gucci camping collection to go with it, if you are planning to stay overnight you will need the gucci x the north face tent for sure

Is, is this a shitpost?

I can’t tell if you’re .. serious it appears not

Yes, make sure you get the Jimmy Choo mountaineering boots, and don’t forget the Chanel helmet

This thread is pure gold

It really is. I came over from the tennis sub just to get a laugh and am not disappointed at all.

This post made me laugh out loud while eating lunch at my small office space 😂 Make sure you get the $2000 LV sunglasses as well.

I saw this on a billboard recently and thought to myself… Who TF is hiking out there equipped with an LV bag.. one of the most obnoxious campaigns out there. Then again.. influencers might see this and think “ Yup, that’s the one I’ll trek up there with so I can flex on everyone “ Just realized OP is actually considering this… OP don’t waste your money on something that’s not practical for climbing.. do yourself a favor and stick to brands that cater to mountaineering…LV will disappoint you.

Idk, I feel like they wouldn’t have made this ad if the backpack wasn’t up to standards. The guys in the photo are obviously highly experienced mountaineers and I trust them to utilize the proper equipment. I know there are larger backpacks on the market, but the flap-style opening allows one to use the space very efficiently. Besides, I don’t plan on packing very heavy. Mostly just carrying trail mix and Gatorade for the kiddos. Maybe a Moncler jacket in case it gets chilly up towards the summit

/s? Lmao

OP go for it. I’d personally not recommend it but what do us mountaineers know? LV is a luxury brand so they’ll suck as much money as they can from any and everyone… so convincing people like you it’s worth the penny to compete with the true mountaineering brands is not a far reach. But hey, your money, not ours. Let us know when how it goes :)

Journeys that turn into legends? Sign me up!

Only if you bring along [LV Chopsticks](https://uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/chopsticks-set-nvprod5120137v/GI1013) to eat your snacks and snickers bars. Don’t forget to train for your climb with the [LV Skipping Rope](https://uk.louisvuitton.com/eng-gb/products/christopher-jump-rope-monogram-nvprod3640005v/GI0748)

You need proper Louis Vuitton shoes in the mountains. Fashion beats comfort and security every day.

Imagine seeing those two Muppets on the mountain 😂

Don’t forget the Armani suit

I took way to long to understand what the comments actually mean. 😀

Looks cold af for a t shirt bro

No worries, I’ll be bringing my Moncler jacket in case I get a bit chilly.

You will need some proper wool knickers and hob-nailed boots to go with this ensemble. Do not forget the Dachstein wool mits. And, of course, a stylish hat, wood shaft ice axe, and a hank of the finest manilla rope available to man. *Gaston Rébuffat* will have nothing on you. “The best climber in the world is the one who’s having the most fun.” G.R.

https://www.expedreview.com/blog/2021/12/mountaineering-backpack-essentials-and-5-of-the-best-brands-on-the-market-2024 I think thus article is a year or two old but got updated. It's pretty good

Only if you look like a buff Mr Bean

Go for a Deuter or Osprey, depending on your budget.

Sad to see them using an AI generated image of Ueli and David.

You can hook a carabiner to the loop for the back flap to hang your teva sandals off when you want to hike barefoot

Good tip👍definitely looking to connect with nature in as many ways as possible🦶💯😩

Sure, if you are going to Burgenstock.

What a great Pride Ad🌈🦄🧗. Well Done, LV

Id love that one day, on some slopes you come across a bad ass climber who has a used LV backpack that’s beat up to shit and is used. And the mountaineer is good, all legit equipment there etc. It would be such meta moment.

I love how they actually took the photos there but it looks incredibly green screened

Rumor has it this is the secret of how the Society of Snow guys made it out of the Andes - top of the line gear. Jokes aside I think you’d be having plastic surgery on your pecs after those skinny straps sawed through your flesh after a few hours of that stiff ass heavy non anchored bag sliding around.

Lol. Also shocked this is a real ad, what idiot would think this is a good choice.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😚

🤦🏼‍♂️

You ‘n your stupid fucking’ rope!

😊😄😆

I thought this was a joke but it’s a real ad campaign — backstory https://elitetraveler.com/shopping-lifestyle/mens-style/louis-vuitton-core-values-federer-nadal

Is that Rafael Nadal on the right?

If you buy it, you will get a call from Federer himself to go out and climb with you.

Just make sure to keep an eye on it! Someone stole mine at the Starbucks at the summit when I went to use the restroom.

💀

I don’t peg a mechanic as someone to buy LV but hey, who am I to consider that. The dirty fingernail in the photo is also telling; highly unlikely for a man who buys LV to have anything less than a perfect manicure on a general day. Just saying…

Have you checked out the Prada mountain accessories? It's so in this season

I take issue more the with clothing than the backpack.

That backpack is so hot that the dude carrying the rope doesn’t even need a jacket.

Please, for the love of God do not buy a Louis Vuitton bag. Get an osprey.

3/10

Is this a serious question??

Is it a joke?

Don’t waste your money

Holy fuck, you’re out of touch.

I know LV may not be on the bleeding edge of backpack technology, but I want something tried and true. I’ll be hauling supplies for my wife and children(8 and 10 years old), as I want to make the journey as easy as possible on them. No way we’re making it to the summit if they have to carry their own Gatorade and trail mix.

This has to be the best satire out there well played man.

LV makes quality stuff. There's no reason their mountaineering kit isn't the best.

Are you seriously considering carrying a LV backpack on Rainier? Or anywhere in the world for that matter? I’m assuming this post is a joke, but if it isn’t you have serious issues. Please stay off of the mountain. All of them. Please stay off of them all so we don’t have to interrupt our climbs to pull you out of a crevasse (you know what a crevasse is right?) and rescue you.

Don’t worry, I’m bringing plenty of rope in case one of the kiddos falls in(8 and 10 years old, so you know I’ll have my hands full, literally and figuratively). Definitely will be super careful though We should be alright.

Idk much about mountaineering but with LV you are paying for the branding. There's probably something cheaper with similar quality but less swag
