Red
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.
