Lowe Alpine AT Kit Bag 60

Product Information

The outer of the lid holds a concealed zipper pocket which also hides the stashable shoulder straps that pop out and hook onto the lower webbing attachment loops.

Whether you're just getting started or an experienced climber, whatever your adventure needs, we have the gear. All Lowe Alpine packs come with a guarantee that covers the original owner, with proof of purchase, for the usable lifetime of the product. The Fair Wear Foundation is a clothing industry specific, non-profit organization that ensures sustainable, fair and safe labour conditions in factories. I’ve found it brilliant for this as the straps allow it to compress to a small size – you really don’t realise that you are carrying a 60 litre sack, and the ice axe stashes neatly rather than floating about in mid air. I soon managed to adjust the rucksack to a comfortable position – it comes with clear fitting/adjustment guidance.What happens when you replace flying to the start of an Alpine bikepacking adventure with travelling. But I've found that front pocket ideal for snacks and lunch etc, ie all the food I need ready access to during the day. Designed to cross continents, the AT Kit Bag 60 is a super-durable duffel built for long haul adventure travel. 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. The Nanon targets those people who want a lighter packs but also want functional features that help to organise their loads during the trek.

This minimalist look duffel bag has a lot of cool features including stashable shoulder straps for a no mess finish that is prefect for air travel. I noticed one review that raised concern about the robustness of the buckles, but whilst these, and the straps, have clearly been cut down to minimise weight (“10mm web reduces weight with no loss of function” – according to the manufacturer), they appear to me to be well made, securely attached, and hopefully they will prove to be durable. When you've spent months planning a trip to a remote place you need to know that your gear will arrive safely and without incident. Lowe Alpine packs flex to fit to your body shape, so don’t worry if your back length does not measure exactly 16, 18 or 20 inches.

If your impressed with it though, it must be worth considering and i look forward to your next report.

So way back in October last year the Lowe Alpine Nanon 50:60 Hyperlite Backpack plopped through my letter box (well, perhaps it’s not quite that small! In my eyes, the biggest advantage of a duffle bag is that you can carry (and access) all of the stuff you need for a big trip in one place. Tall people don’t necessarily have long back lengths, just as shorter people may have a long back length.

Finding your back length measurements will help you to select the right size pack for your body for the most comfortable carry, wherever your adventures take you. 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). An expedition pack primarily designed for mountaineering in big overseas environments, the Mutant Nimsdai 90 is also a good choice for multi-day mountain and backpacking adventures here in the UK, says John McKenna.

for a number of winter walks, on which I tend to load a fair amount of extra gear – gloves, hats, down jacket, emergency shelter, etc - in case of ‘problems’ (some of my companions being less prepared than others for wintry conditions). The Nanon’s main compartment sits below a removable, floating lid with a large and easily accessible external zipped pocket with a key clip. Putting function and reliability first means they're a great choice for trekkers, travellers and explorers. However, the lightweight Dyneema fabric of the Nanon feels to me to be rather more robust than the old Quest’s less durable nylon fabric. From your local crag to the summit of Everest, at Tiso, you’ll find the climbing and mountaineering equipment you need.The design keeps seams to a minimum too so your belongings should stay dry in anything less than a flash flood. Key features on the AT Kit Bag include a stashable harness, internal pockets and internal load compression. Also, in colder temperatures you’d need to wear gloves to move the bag, which could be annoying if you just wanted to sling the bag into the back of a car, say. All refunds will be given as soon as possible, at the latest within 30 days, taking into account the original method of payment. 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.
