With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Brand:Lowe Alpine
Code:LAM65B
The Metanoia is named after an un-repeated route first climbed by the founder of Lowe Alpine, Jeff Lowe. In 1991, after 9 days alone and unsupported on the North face of the Eiger, he completed a visionary new route, which he called Metanoia. This brilliant pack celebrates Jeff's bold and uncompromising style of climbing with its clean and uncluttered design and lightweight, strong and technical construction and is perfect for expedition climbing or extended winter mountaineering trips.
To achieve the nirvana of lightweight and strength Lowe have developed a highly tear resistant TriShield fabric which is 54% stronger than traditional PU coated fabrics but a lot lighter. This makes up the main body of the sack with heavier duty material covering the main wear areas. The single large compartment is accessed through a traditional lid opening which has a large extending valance to increase the carrying capacity and a webbing top strap to either compress the load or attach ropes and crampons. The whole top lid can be removed to create a stripped down Metanoia for fast final ascents or if you just need to keep the weight to a minimum.
Load carrying is taken care of by the Adaptive fit shoulder harness and padded hip belt; Adaptive fit allows for a wide range of body sizes from a fixed harness. The back panel is covered with a water and snow shedding material over moulded padding with ventilation channels and is designed to sit close to your back for security and stability on technical climbs and long approaches. The back system is supported by an internal wire frame which can be removed to reduce weight and there is a removable foam pad for use as a bivvy/seat pad. The padded hip belt distributes the loads for long approaches and can be stripped down to a simple webbing belt to not interfere with your climbing harness; the padded section tucks away into a sleeve on the side of the pack.
Your essential winter tools can be carried on the Metanoia using Lowe's brilliant HeadLocker and WebCatcher systems that quickly and securely attaches ice axes, skis. walking poles and probes etc. Gear loops on either side of the pack take care of climbing gear and twin tape daisy chains down the front provide additional attachment points or storage. Zipped pockets on the lid take care of any bits and bobs that you need quick access to.
