Lowe Alpine AT Kit Bag 60

Product Information

It’ll get a lot more use in the coming months, after which I’ll append appropriate comments to this review. The Nanon targets those people who want a lighter packs but also want functional features that help to organise their loads during the trek. Tall people don’t necessarily have long back lengths, just as shorter people may have a long back length. We've divided up all of the sustainable features we've identified across our product ranges and grouped them into three so you know how your purchase is making an impact: Think Nature, Think Welfare, Think People. Whether I’m off on an exotic foreign adventure, like India, or just popping over to North Wales for the weekend I like to throw everything I need into one bag, keeping things simple.

We have used the same fabrics, design and manufacturing standards that you have come to expect from our expedition and climbing packs and applied them to a brand new adventure travel range. We use marketing, analytical and functional cookies as well as similar technologies to give you the best experience. Two small hip belt pockets accommodate items such as a mobile ‘phone or a wallet, but these wouldn’t be big enough for GPS units much bigger than a Geko. Lowe Alpine offer a similar wheeled version of the bag, which is available in 120l, but I would have liked to seen this in a duffle option too.This tough expedition duffel is constructed using minimal seams for durability and improved water resistance. Felipe learns how to support Erik and be his eyes on tough multi-pitch routes throughout Wyoming, Co. However from time to time there can be the odd issue due to the nature of the stresses and strains put on the packs during your adventures. With a minimalist look, this duffel bag has plenty of features including stashable shoulder straps for a no mess finish that is perfect for air travel. We pay our respects to their elders past and present, and recognise the enduring spiritual connection of the Turrbal and Jagera people to the Country in which we work.

Your back length can be found by measuring from your C7 vertebra (the bony protrusion at the back of your neck) to your iliac crest (the top of your hips). Once I’d spent a few minutes adjusting the straps I found it extremely comfortable, and it had plenty of room for all that I needed.I've used it in rain, with a liner as there's no rain cover, and I've not noticed the shoulder straps having gone soggy. I find that comfort is usually good (which is always top of my list when considering a rucksack) and the features well thought out - although some real minimalist users might find them overdone on that front, I like a few whistle and bells if they add to the experience, and in LA's case they often do. Loads of handy features make this bag a delight to travel with, and the 60-litre capacity makes this bag perfect for shorter trips or when you need to travel light. The Kit Bag comes in 2 sizes 60L and 90L and is available in 2 colours: Anthracite and Atlantic Blue.

Whether you’re carrying heavy loads over long distances, exploring trails close to home, or travelling half-way round the world, we’ll get you packed for the adventure. I've used LA bags for years and, although not perhaps the lightest, they have served me well and I feel a certain amount of brand loyalty towards them (as much loyalty as I have for any one manufacturer). Most of my pack weight is water (being a desert rat) and I always worry about the strap strength of a lighter design on extended trips.The indestructible Karrimor Jaguar 65, 20-30 years old, will resume it's position as my rucksack of choice. Although we can't guarantee a yak won't run away with your kit, we can guarantee that this is one seriously tough, expedition duffel.

I didn’t need to make significant adjustments to switch the rucksack from its role as a backpack for a multi-day wild camping trip to its role as a winter day sack, apart from drastic tightening of the compression straps. and packs down incredibly small, to the extent that when it first arrived in the post I was sure I had been sent the wrong thing. There are also a few design aspects that make this bag ideal for plane (or bus, or train, or boat) travel.We sell quality outdoor brands and whilst we do appreciate faults do occur please note that everything has a natural lifetime. Lowe Alpine designers also kept seams at a minimum (reducing the weaknesses in the bag's design and thereby making it more durable). Constructed to carry your gear across continents and withstand the harshest terrain, it is also designed to bring it all home safely.
