Lowe Alpine AT Kit Bag 60

Product Information

The Nanon’s main compartment sits below a removable, floating lid with a large and easily accessible external zipped pocket with a key clip. As an added bonus, it will make you look like a super sophisticated mountain type, which is always important. It has an extensive list of snazzy sounding features such as stashable shoulder straps; aluminium encased grips; internal compression straps; an internal pocket; two external pockets; and tamper proof zips. The buckles are designed such that it’s difficult to access the contents of the bag quickly, presumably with the benefit of deterring potential thieves.

My comment on that would be that I feel that it would cope with a little more than 15 kilos if necessary. We've divided up all of the sustainable features we've identified across our product ranges and grouped them into three so you know how your purchase is making an impact: Think Nature, Think Welfare, Think People. In fact, just after arriving in India, I noticed that the stitching on one of the side handles had started to tear. Designed to cross continents, the AT Kit Bag 60 is a super-durable duffel built for long haul adventure travel.I too found the straps really comfy, but also found the handles great as the pure webbing ones dig in after a while! 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. I find that comfort is usually good (which is always top of my list when considering a rucksack) and the features well thought out - although some real minimalist users might find them overdone on that front, I like a few whistle and bells if they add to the experience, and in LA's case they often do. Lowe Alpine has also incorporated aluminium in the AT Kit Bag's grab handles, which makes the handles strong, but also comfortable to grab. K2 Base Camp acknowledges the Turrbal and Jagera people, the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters of Meanjin.

Update - it wasn't used for the TGO Challenge, I decided on a Karrimat rather than Neoair Thermarest, so the Karrimor Jaguar 65 was a more suitable container. Additional Features: Extra external lashing points, large stretch side pockets, key clip, lid lash points, SOS panel, secure internal lid pocket, unique walking pole tip grabbers for secure storage, reflective logos, hydration pocket, ventilating harness, hip belt pockets, extendible lid. It has a practical backpack-style loading system with straps that can be hidden or used depending on the needs of the moment.

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. But I've found that front pocket ideal for snacks and lunch etc, ie all the food I need ready access to during the day.

Creating the best product and inspiring mountain life make up the foundations of Lowe Alpine’s core values. I've not seen or used this sack (to be honest, it's probably not aimed at walkers such as me) but I'm glad to see a good review of a Lowe Alpine product. A jacket purchased over 10 years ago that has been worn everyday may have reached the end of its lifetime. Presumably, these are designed to make it easier to pick the bag up, or to drag it from place to place.Contrary to popular belief, your torso length and not your height is the key to getting a well fitted pack. and the external fabric can withstand quite a beating from being dropped on, scraped over, and dragged across various surfaces. Lowe Alpine Rucksäcke überzeugen weltweit durch die präzise, ergonomische Passform und ihre Qualität. I’d have been quite happy to fit another couple of days’ food into the sack, but beyond that I may have been struggling. 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.

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. Keeping your items secure and organised compression straps have been used, stopping movement and making everything easy to find. Lowe Alpine designers also kept seams at a minimum (reducing the weaknesses in the bag's design and thereby making it more durable). 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. It’s well constructed from what appear to be quality components, and comes with clear instructions on how to achieve a comfortable fit.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Made from a combination of TravelShield® amd N630 fabrics, the Kit Bag is built to withstand the harshest terrain. Putting function and reliability first means they're a great choice for trekkers, travellers and explorers.
