Lowe Alpine Alpine Attack 35:45 Black

Season:ZZZ Discontinued

Brand:Lowe Alpine

Code:LAAA35BLT

The brand new Alpine Attack from Lowe Alpine has been designed and thoroughly tested by some of the worlds elite mountaineers to produce a lightweight and minimalist pack that performs superbly across all disciplines of modern mountaineering. This larger version is capable of carrying extra kit for longer tours and technical winter mountaineering expeditions.

This pack is all about function and practicality, all the main contact points have been designed for easy use with winter gloves or mitts and there is enough clever storage options for winter axes, tools and skis. Lowe's ingenious "headlocker" system makes attaching and removing ice axes quick and easy and their load locker buckles and WebCatcher system for attaching skis are easy to use with bulky gloves yet incredibly secure.

Comfort has not been compromised and the adaptive fit hip belt and shoulder harness provide a comfortable carry whatever your size and shape. You can even strip down the hip belt and tuck away the padded section leaving a minimal webbing belt for use when wearing a harness, or stow the whole thing away if you don't need a waist belt at all. The shoulder straps have extra padding on the main load bearing points and less where it s not required. A tough, snow shedding, back panel with ventilation channels has an internal wire frame to save weight and provide essential support and load distribution. The foam padding can be removed for use as a bivvy mat or sit mat.

For versatile loading options the top lid can be extended to accommodate ropes or extra kit or it can be removed completely to create an uber lightweight summit pack; in fact you can strip this pack right down by also removing the back padding, frame, and compression system. The top lid is shelved to ensure you can look up easily when wearing a climbing helmet.

To make sure you get years of service from this superb pack it is made from Lowe's special Trishield Grid nylon ripstop fabric that has been impregnated with silicone to increase the tear strength by 20%.

Getting the correct fit for your rucksack is as important as getting the fit right for your boots. A badly fitting pack can inflict misery and discomfort and completely ruin your adventure. This guide is designed to help you get the best fit and comfort from your chosen pack so that carrying all your kit becomes a pleasure and not a chore.

ADJUSTING THE BACK LENGTH

If the pack has an adjustable back length, adjust this to your correct level. Your back length is not related to your height but your torso length. Many packs, and specifically the bigger and more technical packs are available in different back lengths or feature adjustable back systems. Contrary to popular belief, your torso length and not your overall height is the key to getting a well fitted pack. Tall people don’t necessarily have long torsos, just as shorter people don’t always have a short torso length.

Your torso length can be found by measuring from your C7 vertebra (the bony protrusion at the back of your neck when looking down) to the height of your iliac crest (top of your hip bones, where you put your hands on your hips). This measurement will give you an idea of which pack back length to choose.

Once you've got the back length sorted, either by selecting the correct size pack or adjusting the back system, you can begin to follow these simple steps to help achieve a comfortable carry.

LOOSEN OFF ALL STRAPS

Before you start fitting the pack, loosen off all the straps as this will make it easier to get the correct tension later.

TIGHTENING THE HIPBELT

Fasten the backpack hipbelt, the general position is the same as where you’d put your ‘hands on hips’ This area is called the pelvic girdle, and what you can feel when you rest your hand on the area is the bony protuberance, the iliac crest. The iliac crest can support the weight from a pack comfortably, and for sustained periods. The padded section of the hipbelt should encompass this and fit securely.

Tighten the straps so the hipbelt feels secure and held firmly around your body. Ensure that the lumbar pad is centered to your lower back to give you maximum support. Remember that your hips carry most of the weight of the pack, so this should be firm but comfortable.

ADJUSTING THE SHOULDER STRAPS

Next, adjust the shoulder straps, pull them until they start to become snug, but ensure that they are not too tight as to lift the pack off your hips. Remember tightening them will stabilise the pack but will increase pressure over the shoulders. If the back length of the pack is correct the shoulder straps will be flush to your shoulders whilst the hipbelt sits in place comfortably. The point where the shoulder straps attach to the main body of the pack should be roughly half way down your shoulder blades; this ensures  that the shoulder straps rolls evenly over the top of your shoulders to distribute the weight correctly.

FASTENING THE CHEST STRAP

Fasten the chest strap and pull until taut but not tight, the elastic section should not be extended. This helps keep the shoulder straps from catching in your shoulder joints and keeps the stability of the pack when moving over rough ground.

ADJUSTING THE TOP TENSIONERS

Top tensioner straps link the shoulder straps to the top of the pack. When tightened, their main function is to stabilise the top part of the pack. The optimum angle for these straps in 45º, but they will stabilise the load even when horizontal or at a more obtuse angle. Tighten them until you feel the top part of the pack rest against your pack, over tightening them will create excessive pressure on the front of your shoulders.

ADJUSTING THE SIDE TENSIONERS

Side tension straps are linked to the hipbelt. By tightening these straps you can stabilise the load but reduce the hipbelt flexibility. Where balance is critical tightening them can help you feel more secure. However, if you are striding out over easy terrain it’s better to loosen these straps to allow full hip flexibility.

ADJUSTING THE SIDE COMPRESSION STRAPS

Side compression straps come next, pulling these tight does two things: firstly, it stabilises the load, secondly it can lift the lower part of the pack, repositioning the load closer to your back.

ADJUSTMENTS ON THE GO

Following these steps should give you a comfortable but secure fit on your pack. Sometimes adjustments will need to be made on the go depending on the terrain or the load you are carrying. The perfect fit is very much a personal preference so experiment with different tensions on the pack to find what suits you best.
