Lowe Alpine Powder Line 22 Backpack

Seems to be a decent day pack. I use for cycling to work etc and travel. It will carry a lot of stuff but I would prefer more internal pouches. It has two large ones. The lined glasses goggles pouch is a nice touch. The belt strap pouch will handle my cell but might be small for a Blackberry or i/phone/droid size phone. It's very light and well padded. I haven't tried it for skiing yet but I think it will excel in this role as this is it's primary function anyway.

I actually got this for bag for fishing because I wanted a secure bag because I hike through woods and such to get my fishing areas. I love the soft dry compartment at the top for my camera, the main compartment has three small separate compartments, it is not a big space but ok for a days fishing trip, I could get some food and drinks in there, a small case of lures, knife, pliers, and 2 field guides, and I had space left over. It will not fit big shoes or a lot of gear comfortably! The greatest thing about this bag is all the straps on the outside and loops. I use the two side straps in attach my 2 piece fishing rod. And I bough some one dollar metal clips and I attached those to the outside which I then attach wet shoes to dry while I walk, or my machete if I am going to the mountains where there is thick bushes and trees, and there are loads of other ways to be creative. I have no plans of using the hydration kit but it is there. I have only had it for a little while, but it seems sturdy, I know one day the clip on the chest is going to break from getting used a lot but the straps them self seem tough and the back padding is great. It is a fantastic pack for fishing trips, and small hikes. I think it would be ok for a day hike but I am not sure, it depends on what gear you need for the hike. Sorry for any spelling mistakes, I am not checking this :) Oh ya I forgot to mention, it looks really cool

I actually am using the product for dual purposes. I work out daily so I use it to carry my gym equipment and will also use it for day hikes when I get one lined up. I really like the product. However, I am a little upset that it doesn't have one pocket in the front for easy access to immediate needs such as a cell phone, wallet or watch

Very nice pack - especially for the price. I wish it had more pockets but the pack is made to load stuff onto and not into. Well made like all Lowa stuff. I think it will make a great snowshoe hauler in the winter time.

This is a great little daypack with a perfect balance of feature vs. simplicity. Our family did an 8-mile hike soon after receiving the Powderline 22 in the mail. It is well built and sturdy with strong zippers and over-sized toggles which really help. Although designed for snow-sports, I apprectiate it's versatility for all-season adventuring. I'm glad to see the Powderline divided internally for some organization and the exterior straps/loops/pockets assist in full utilization of the pack's capacity. I am truly looking forward to years of good use!
