Lowe Alpine AT Kit Bag 60

Product Information

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. A Mondeo of the rucksack world (but in a very good way), the Sirac is a comfortable, durable, no-nonsense backpacking pack that's ideal for weekend or longer trips, says Fliss Freeborn. It’ll get a lot more use in the coming months, after which I’ll append appropriate comments to this review.

I have to say that having met one or two of their marketing staff in the past, I have no 'brand loyalty' to LA. I’m very lucky in that over the past year or so Webtogs have been sending me useful items of kit to review. Delivering incredible freedom of movement with a stable and comfortable carry, they’re built for breaking new ground on your next big journey. 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).I’d have been quite happy to fit another couple of days’ food into the sack, but beyond that I may have been struggling.

From its faithful perch on Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley, K2 has become a Brisbane institution for those at home in the outdoors, local adventure-seekers and a myriad of backpackers and explorers alike. We sell quality outdoor brands and whilst we do appreciate faults do occur please note that everything has a natural lifetime.The Kit Bag comes in 2 sizes 60L and 90L and is available in 2 colours: Anthracite and Atlantic Blue. I have used it on an overnight backpacking trip (pictured above – not very well packed, and I lowered it a little after the pictures had been taken), for which it was perfect. This tough expedition duffel is shaped using minimal seams for durability and improved water resistance. Valid in France only with: Chronopost relais and Chronopost domicile (Chronopost on on appointment excluded), Mondial relay, Colissimo and France Express.

For this reason, I would - in an ideal world - have liked to have seen a size above the two that are currently available (60l or 90l). I too found the straps really comfy, but also found the handles great as the pure webbing ones dig in after a while! Made from a combination of TravelShield® amd N630 fabrics, the Kit Bag is built to withstand the harshest terrain. I don’t however travel particularly ‘light’, and some of my gear is fairly bulky, so I reckon that someone who pays more attention to carrying lightweight gear than I do might get their kit and up to 5-6 day’s provisions into this bag, especially in summer.

There are also a few design aspects that make this bag ideal for plane (or bus, or train, or boat) travel. In fact, just after arriving in India, I noticed that the stitching on one of the side handles had started to tear. You're a winner - 'Scotland' - namely Stob na Broige from the foothills of Beinn Maol Chaluim, but I'm sure you knew that detail and were just teasing!

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. 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. This light trekking pack is aimed at the weight-conscious backpacker, and it's well suited to a night or two out on the hills, says Sarah Douglas. 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 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.From lightweight and ventilated daypacks for hiking to multiday trekking backpacks and large travel holdalls for your expedition kit, there's something for everyone in the Lowe Alpine range. Presumably, these are designed to make it easier to pick the bag up, or to drag it from place to place.
