Description

Carry tons of stuff.

As its name suggests, the Lowe Alpine Expedition Backpack is suitable for hauling loads of stuff into the backcountry and does so while providing you carrying comfort and fit versatility. With a max load at around 70 pounds you can over-pack to your heart’s desire and laugh while you ask for help putting your pack back on.

  • The TFX 10 system allows for a custom fit with adjustable lumbar pad and back length; fits torsos 17-22 inches
  • The hipbelt and shoulder straps distribute weight evenly with the AdaptiveFit system
  • Cushy hip-belt padding can be slipped off if you need to strap on a climbing harness when the going gets tricky
  • Torso Motion system allows the frame and hipbelt to react relative to your spine offering more mobility
  • Molded Noggin Notch gives you room to naturally move your head without bumping into gear
  • TriShield Grid fabric offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and sleek, ziperless main body design is strong and lightweight
  • Multiple external attachment options, including compression strap extenders, many strong lash points, bungee fasteners, ice axe carry, and ski carry system
  • Integrated hydration sleeve lets you add your own reservoir
  • Extendible lid accommodates another 1200cu in and includes internal security pocket with SOS emergency directions printed on it
  • Two load-lifting handles make it easy for your buddy to help you get the pack on

Hey there. Can someone offer me a comparison (from experience) between the shorter, fatter profile of this pack and a taller, narrower pack - say like the appalachian...especially under heavier loads, are there benefits, downsides to this?

Thanks

In the specs on this page it list the pack as having a sleeping bag compartment. It does not have one. Other than that the pack is very comfortable. I have a deuter act lite 65 +10 and this has a similar comfortable feel while hiking. I am 6ft 160 pounds, skinny with a narrow frame. Also, the minimalist waist belt is great for wearing with a harness. The full sized padded belt tends to push my alpine bod harness uncomfortably into the sides of my waist.

I am looking for a pack able to handle a downpoor but not looking to spend $600 on a pack. Is this one waterproof? or at least mostly waterproof? I read the spec.s and couldnt find it. thanks!

I researched this pack a while back and I could not find any information that it is waterproof so I am thinking it is not. Most packs are not waterproof.

You could buy yourself a $30 cover and keep it fairly dry.

I've never found a pack to be totally waterproof even the $600 ones. Eventually water will find it's way inside during a sustained downpour. The best insurance against this is a rain cover. If it's any consolation to you, some pack cloths are more water resistant than others like 210D Ripstorm, 100D Invista Ripstop, & 420ACT. The first two are impregnated with silicone and PU coatings, cost much more, & arguably increase overall pack weight. My suggestion would also be to purchase a suitable rain cover & get a less expensive, lighter weight pack that would still suit your needs.

I am looking for the closest replacement for the Contour IV. Is this? I would love to buy the older model IV if it was still around!

An enormous capacity pack was what I needed for this expedition. After hard day of pulling my duffel it was easy to put duffel in, strap Crazy Carpet and ski back to the lower camp. Amazing pack. There is a handle on the pack, for your partner to lift it and assist you. Padded belt helped to easier handle heavy load. Belt is removable and I now (for long summer hikes) have my tiny belt assembled. Very lightweight and durable pack. Love it!
