Lowe Alpine Contour III (70+15) Review

"The Lowe Contour III is an awesome bag for the money! I found this pack both rugged and comfortable. The APS Yoke system, and malleable frame stays allow for a sweet custom fit. I coul dnot believe the level of weight distribution that could be achieved both in the initial fitting and on the trail. I think this precision-crafted bad is wonderful. Oh, and one more thing I found out that you won;t find in the manual: The pad that velcros over the lumbar support can be pulled off -- makes a decent pillow in a pinch."

"I am not only a Scouting Leader, I also train other Adult Leaders in outdoor skills. My Lowe Alpine Contour III is my favorite among all the packs I own. Carries the full range of necessary gear, plus some, and load distribution is EXCELLENT! Also very ruggedly built. A most comfortable and reliable way to have the outdoor experience."
