Lowe Alpine Edge 26 Backpack

Product Information

Sporting 26 Litres of storage space across multiple pockets for tidy gear storage, this is the perfect travel rucksack for transporting kit from the city to the trail. Easy access to and from Leeds, Wakefield, Bradford, Huddersfield, Manchester, Rochdale, Oldham, Keighley and all towns and cities close or within easy each of the M62 corridor. The main body of the Gregory pack is made from 210 denier, honeycomb-patterned nylon, while the base is reinforced 420 denier nylon. For walking, the rucksack was comfortable though the lack of any back ventilation did create a build-up of moisture in that area.

Pole loops easily carry two poles and side compression straps keeps your pack stable when on the go. There are twin walking pole or ice-axe attachment loops at the lower end of the pack, and an upper bungee arrangement to keep them in place. A major consideration in Osprey’s design is the longevity of the Archeon 30 which, of course, is a key element of its sustainability, along with the use of recycled materials.It does have some padding, and was comfortable in use, though there was quite a bit of perspiration build-up.

A daysack should be able to accommodate all the gear and clothing you need on your single-day walk on the hills or in the countryside.The sternum strap has an elasticated section and its height is continuously variable on rails on the straps. When the user is walking, the back system moves with the body’s natural motion in the arms and hips. A jacket purchased over 10 years ago that has been worn everyday may have reached the end of its lifetime. The sternum strap is constantly adjustable for height on a pair of rails, and the buckle has a built-in whistle. The hip belt is completely removable – it has plastic buckles at each side – but this does mean fastening the belt requires reaching across to either hip, which is less convenient than a central fastening.

Erik and Felipe’s much-anticipated trip to Torres del Paine has finally arrived, but now if they are. Alpkit’s Ledge 30 represents good value for money with a pack that includes pretty much all the features you need, and we had a soft spot for the retro style of the Craghoppers Kiwi 20. The main compartment is accessible through a top opening, the twin-puller zip of which unfastens to about three-quarters the length of the pack, giving good access. Built to move with you on all terrain, the Aeon 25L offers a full set of technical features and a close fitting back system that flexes as you move.Whether hitting the trail or working nine to five, the Edge 26 has the features and capacity to work as hard as you can. Whether you’re carrying heavy loads over long distances, exploring trails close to home, or travelling half-way round the world, we’ll get you packed for the adventure.
