Our Story

Packable Performance Outerwear For Life On The Go

Born for Everyday Adventures

For over 35 years, Mac in a Sac has been designing high-performance, packable outerwear built to empower everyday adventures. From the streets of Belfast to weekend hikes and school trips, our first-generation Mac in a Sac jacket became a trusted companion in backpacks, school bags, and on every journey in between. Lightweight, durable, and waterproof, these jackets make it easy to enjoy life on the move — whatever the weather.

You Choose the Adventure. We Make it Possible.

Adventure comes in all shapes and sizes — a weekend hike with friends, a day at the beach, a festival, or even the first day of school. Mac in a Sac equips you to embrace every adventure, giving you freedom, comfort, and protection in all conditions.

Our #PackableWaterproof and #PackableWarmth collections deliver industry-leading specifications for everyday life. From classic packable jackets, overtrousers, and Mini jackets for kids, to the Venture Series, Synergy jackets & gilets, festival ponchos, and tonal zip updates, every product is designed to be lightweight, practical, and adventure-ready.

A History of Expertise. A Future of Possibilities.

From our first packable jackets to today’s Venture Series, Synergy jackets, and festival ponchos, Mac in a Sac has spent over 35 years refining lightweight, waterproof, and adventure-ready outerwear. Built on a foundation of waterproof expertise in Belfast, every product is designed to keep you moving and ready for life on the go.

Built Responsibly. Loved Everywhere.

We care about the world you explore. All Mac in a Sac jackets are PFC and PFOA-free, combining performance with environmental responsibility.
