Lowe Alpine Skyline ND45 This little beauty has been everywhere with me. I picked it up in New Zealand almost 10 years ago. Red has been; trekking in Nepal, road tripping in Mongolia, done the Trans-Siberian, spent months in the Outback of Australia and much more. This backpack has been nicknamed 'The Mary Poppins' bag for it's ability to hold anything (this bag is considered a 2-3 day pack). In Nepal and Mongolia, Red, was stuffed well beyond capacity for months at a time. Red has never been cleaned or repaired. Not a zipper broken or a tear anywhere on this masterpiece. I did almost cheat on Red once. The night before leaving for a six month trip to China, Mongolia, and Russia I had bought a $400 pack (flashy and high end). In the middle of the night I woke up in a cold sweat, the closest thing to a panic attack I have ever had. I repacked everything back into well worn Red ...this was the last time I cheated on my backpack. Needless to say my sister now has quite the flashy pack that I never used. |
