Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 (2012)

£140.00

As the name suggests, the Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 45:55 is very much directed toward the mountaineering end of the spectrum, but it is also great for more technical hillwalks, scrambles and winter mountain walking. It uses a new material that is more durable than previous Lowe Alpine fabrics and so it should withstand scrapes on rock better than most. ...

Lowe Alpine Lightflite 28 (2012)

£60.00

Weighing in at just 410g, the Lowe Alpine Lightflite 28 is incredibly light for its 28 litre capacity and yet it is also very well-priced compared to other sacks in our test. Not only that, but it is also a touch more comfortable than other sacks as there is a full covering of foam and mesh across the back panel, ...
