Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 25L+5L
Good Features, but Poor Fit

The pack has a lot of great features:
1. Adjustable ice ax loops
2. Holes in the ice ax loops for trekking poles
3. Glacier Glasses pocket
4. Adjustable shoulder straps
5. Gear Loops on shoulder straps
However, I gave this pack two stars because it fits so awkwardly. The shoulder straps are so wide (and I have wide shoulders) that I'm always trying to pull them together to stay on. And the worst part about this pack is that the shoulder straps are not connected to the pack at the base - they are connected to the waist belt. So it basically requires you to have the waist belt fastened and tightened at all times. It's uncomfortable because it pulls the waist belt up into my belly region instead of lying on my hips. I was attracted to this pack because of the price and features, but it is not worth it.
