Lowe Alpine - Altus 42 - Walking backpack

The perfect backpack for hut-to-hut walks and winter adventures in the mountains: the Altus 42 from Lowe Alpine. This comfortable, compact backpack offers excellent load distribution for on-the-go comfort.

It comes equipped with the innovative Air Contour+ back system with a seamless transition from the hip belt to the back panel to prevent any and all hot spots. It conforms beautifully to the contours of the body for a comfortable, close-to-body fit and shifts the load according to your centre of gravity. Topping off the back system are a sternum strap and padded shoulder straps. For added comfort, there are air channels on the back to keep air circulating and prevent a build-up of heat.

The U-shaped front zip gives you quick access to the interior at all times. The strategically positioned compression straps streamline the load so that nothing shifts whilst you’re on the move. Lastly, there are daisy chains on the outside for other pieces of kit. The Altus 42.
