Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 (2012)

£135.00

Though the Lowe Alpine Nanon ND 50:60 only has a single main compartment (as opposed to two) it certainly makes up for it with a massive front section that can take a whole wedge of extra kit if required. With two stretchy side panels and adjustable straps to make it go even further, it’s the perfect space to cram your ...

£100.00

A classic walking pack that’s durable, comfortable, and carries loads with ease.

Lowe Alpine Airzone ND32

£65.00

Although designed for women, it is best-suited to more petite ladies, with its shorter back and overall shape. The shoulder straps are a lot thinner than those on the men’s variant and can dig in when the pack is loaded. The hip straps are great, with the split design helping to grip. The back system is excellent, with its light ...

Lowe Alpine Omni Lite

£80.00

A classic soft shell, the Omni Lite delivers top-class performance in a stripped-back design. There aren’t too many pockets or fussy details to get in the way of the fabric’s great breathability and windproofing. Pound for pound it’s one of the best-performing fabrics out there – definitely one of the stretchiest and a strong contender for lightest. The weatherproofing feels ...

Lowe Alpine Atacama Zip-Off Pant 2010

The trousers also have double stitching to increase durability in the long term. To ...

breathable and waterproof Triplepoint XC fabric. The fairly roomy cut covers the hips easily, and there’s a lovely high collar. It’s mesh-lined throughout, which improves breathability and offers some insulation too. The hood is ample in volume, but the peak has no stiffness and there’s not enough adjustment.

Lowe Alpine Omega 2010

£60.00

The Omegas are quite heavy due to a mesh lining, but this aids breathability, adds a bit of insulation, and even makes them comfortable enough to wear against the skin. The waistband is elastic with a drawcord, and they come in three leg lengths. The three-quarter length leg-zips make them easy to slip on over your boots. And the zips ...

Despite its reasonably low weight, and very decent pack-down size, the Velocity is a longish jacket, with a rugged main zip and good storm flap. It has a great hood: deep with plenty of adjustment and a stiff wired peak; and the pockets, which double as vents, are well-placed and plenty big enough to take a map. The cuffs are ...

LOWE ALPINE AIRZONE CENTRO 35

£70.00

Review: The back system is cool and stable and the harness is just about perfect, with cool and well-ventilated shoulder straps that spread the load nicely. The hip fins are wonderfully comfortable and effective. Adjustable back lengths mean this pack should accommodate most walkers. Not the biggest pack, although plenty big enough for weekend or winter walks, and this makes ...

Lowe Alpine Sierra Lite

£65.00

The fleece-lined collar is an ideal height and feels great against the skin. Sadly, the cuffs are too tight to pull up when needing to cool down. A lovely lightweight soft shell and the fabric has plenty of ‘give’ in it, making it really easy to move in. Would be better with slightly bigger pockets for a map.
