Lowe Alpine Extreme Attack 20+20 Backpack - 2400cu in
mixed bag
By hard to please
Ranked #1153 - Daypacks - Technical
February 25, 2008
Thumbs up: The collapsible part is both sleek and ingenious and it looks and fits well in both configurations. It's great to climb in and I was the only one in my group that didn't complain about not being able to see much.
Thumbs down: The gear attachments are strange and cumbersome. My ice tools felt shaky (though they never actually shifted much)and getting into the pack with tools strapped on is kind of an ordeal. Strapping a rope on top like it shows is horribly uncomfortable and it doesn't have attachments for crampons. (I know, right?)
Overall I'm pretty happy with it but it has some annoying quirks.
