Lowe Alpine Argon 25 Backpack

A rather versatile backpack with pockets for just about everything. This backpack holds a vast array of items from the simple pen and pencil slots to even being able to accommodate a water bladder. The straps are comfortable without being cumbersome. For the backpack that can be used for light backpacking, day hikes, school supplies and other general uses this backpack is very good choice.

More features than the Patagonia Yerba. This daypack will carry cameras, gear, rainjacket, Sibley field gude, binos, waterproof bags, two water bottles and tripod on the outside....and, oh yeah....the ubiquitous peanut butter & jelly sandwich!!! Very reasonable price. Get back to me in a few years to see how it holds up.

I use this back pack to carry water bottles, and changes of sox, shirts, etc., while cross country skiing. It sure has all the adjustments I need.

I used for a day trip and an overnight trip and it was perfect no problems

From the product description in cubic inches, I thought the bag would hold more. Often I want more capacity. Having the small pocket full restricts capacity of large pocket, probably the biggest minus. One of the zipper pulls came off early on, no zipper problems otherwise. I carry weight(tools, books, grocerys)often on a motorcycle. The duarabiltiy seems to be there, intially I was concerned about tears, so far so good. 90 plus days nearly daily use to date.

I wanted a daypack for everyday use that would hold all my 'stuff' but be lightweight and easy to manage. This is a quality pack that's very light and yet big enough for whatever I throw into it. Great pack!

this is a great backpack. it is comfortable and i like lowe alpine's quality. however, i was hoping it would be more roomy. don't get me wrong, i can fit my jacket, water bottle, and other equipment for a day hike. but i don't think i can do an overnight with this pack.

I did research on back-packs for a trek up the Inca trail to Machu Picchu. After reading the details about this pack, I thought it would meet my needs. It did! It was perfect for the trek: easy to load and easy to wear. It held up beautifully all the way around.
