Lowe Alpine Rucksacks

 Lowe Alpine Rucksacks place great emphasis on their back systems. This, after all, is exactly where you will place your rucksack. For example the TFX back system uses a simple, strong, intuitive method to adjust back length. Flip up the lumbar pad, loosen the buckle and adjust the back length by extending or cinching the web until the correct Torso Fit color block appears in the buckle. Just re-fit the lumbar pad and you're good to go. Additionally, Lowe Alpine Rucksacks have produced Women specific packs; recognising that men and women carry loads distributed in different ways.

    Lowe Alpine - Gender Specific Backlength Systems

    Lowe Alpine Rucksacks - Details

    Gender Specific Backlength Systems

    If you think all that's needed to create a women's pack is to shorten the back and narrow the harness, then clearly you haven't asked women what they want.

    While developing their women's only line of packs Lowe Alpine Rucksacks used both scientific research and real-life research and developement to establish the key factors demanded by women to create the perfect backpack. In doing so, they found two key differences that influenced their design direction.

    First, men and women carry loads distributed in different ways. Men prefer to carry loads concentrated high on the back, giving a higher center of gravity. Women prefer to carry loads lower on the back. Lowe Alpine women's packs therefore give greater capacity lower in the pack body.

    Second, the overwhelming message from Lowe Alpine's research is that women prefer to organise their loads differently. Lowe Alpine's designs respond to this by adding creative pockets and load organisation systems, both internal and external.

    (Image Left) - The overall fit of the harness, hip-belt and back systems clearly need to be tuned specifically for the female form. Necks are narrower, the hip / shoulder ratio is different and back lengths are shorter
    Adaptive Fit Adaptive Fit

    Lowe Alpine's AdaptiveFit hip belt will fit a wide variety of hip shapes and will adapt to your unique shape, simply fasten the hip belt and pull the adjustment web firmly and the hip belt will tighten around your hips supporting the load of the pack comfortably.

    Load Locker Load Locker

    After introducing the plastic buckle back in the Sixties, Lowe Alpine Rucksacks have introduced this alloy buckle. Tougher and more secure than ever before this buckle is 18% lighter than a plastic equivalent. One further advantage is their ease of use with winter gloves - the alloy buckle simply hooks and twists into place.

    The Load Locker is a closure device for securing pack lids. It is hooked in position quickly and then locked for security.     		Web Catcher Web Catcher

    An alloy buckle that is both light and very strong - karabiner grade in fact, the Web Catcher is also very easy to use and highly practical.

    The revised Web Catcher quickly and easily secures skis, poles and axes to the pack.
    Construction Construction

    Sewing is the method by which Lowe Alpine Rucksacks construct their packs. They rejected methods using welding, gluing or riveted plastic as, ' they are not as strong or durable as sewing'

    They specify nylon 3-ply bonded sewing thread. This is rot resistant, strong and long-lasting. All major seams are sewn twice, then capped with a binding tape for protection and sewn once more.     		Reinforcement Reinforcement

    Lowe Alpine Rucksacks reinforce their products in areas of high stress. Key points are reinforced with back tacks ( 5 lines of sewing ), Z tacks ( a double back tack ) or bar tacks as appropriate. Larger capacity packs have a double layer of fabric in their bases.
