lowe alpine frontier 65 + 15 Review

"i got this pack about a year ago, as a starter pack. i found it online for $60 and i would say that it was a really good purchase. i love the bottom compartment that zips to completely devide it from the top. the bungy system on the outside is great for my pro light 4 pad. and the two outside compartments are huge and great for things like stove and water filter, the things you need in the middle of the day. the shoulder and waistbelt pads are a little hard and dont move with you that much. still a great pack for the price and it was a fantastic pack for me to realize that i wanted to get into backpacking seriously. i am now looking at gettting a new pack. and will prob end up with the gregory beltora."

"I bought this pack 2 years ago. I used it in average 3 days in every two times in the time I have it. a month ago the aluminum bars changed their "s" shape to a "w". a week ago the waist closure broke and in general the waist belt is in a bad bad condition. This pack disappointed me. It's good things are that it has very strong cordura and that it's looks nice. not practical for good trips."
