Lowe Alpine AT Kit Bag 60

Product Information

I have to say that having met one or two of their marketing staff in the past, I have no 'brand loyalty' to LA. Despite being let down by the stitching fault on one of the side handles, the bag endured biblical levels of rainfall with only minimal seepage.

All Lowe Alpine packs come with a guarantee that covers the original owner, with proof of purchase, for the usable lifetime of the product. 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. It has a practical backpack-style loading system with straps that can be hidden or used depending on the needs of the moment. 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. All refunds will be given as soon as possible, at the latest within 30 days, taking into account the original method of payment.Then the long zip on the rucksack that enabled insertion of the tent or other items without having to empty the rucksack - it failed. At approximately 1400 gm the Nanon is perhaps slightly lighter than the Quest, and it is more compact, topping out at about 60 litres capacity compared with the Quest’s 72 litres.

Delivering incredible freedom of movement with a stable and comfortable carry, they’re built for breaking new ground on your next big journey. Made from our most abrasion resistant fabrics - TravelShield Grid and N630 - and TPU coated fabric for enhanced durability and water resistance, the AT Kit Bag 60 is built to ensure your kit arrives safely and without incident. With 60 litre volume for your gear, the AT Kit Bag 60 features lash points, internal pockets and internal load compression straps to secure your kit, and three aluminium grab handles for comfort when carrying as a duffel. I didn’t need to make significant adjustments to switch the rucksack from its role as a backpack for a multi-day wild camping trip to its role as a winter day sack, apart from drastic tightening of the compression straps.This was disappointing; I would have expected it to survive a few flights before showing signs of wear.

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. Tall people don’t necessarily have long back lengths, just as shorter people may have a long back length.

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. In fact, just after arriving in India, I noticed that the stitching on one of the side handles had started to tear. Note: Whilst the rucksack was provided by Webtogs, this review, over which I have total editorial control, is totally independent of that on-line retailer. 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.

If in doubt, try one on, but if you aren't exceptionally large or small you should be fine with the Nanon. 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).

Lowe Alpine has also incorporated aluminium in the AT Kit Bag's grab handles, which makes the handles strong, but also comfortable to grab. My comment on that would be that I feel that it would cope with a little more than 15 kilos if necessary.

Other features include extra external lashing points, large stretch side pockets, an SOS panel, ‘unique’ walking pole tip grabbers for secure storage, reflective logos, hydration pocket, and a ventilating harness.
