Lowe Alpine TFX Appalachian Backpack - Internal Frame, ND 55+10 (For Women)

A great fit with great features. Lots of storage and good access to the storage. Rain fly is a great addition. Looking forward to many hikes with this pack!

I ended up returning this pack for another. It seems like a good pack with a few main exceptions... 1) The rain cover is stored in one of the outer side pockets. I would prefer it to zip out of the bottom. 2) The remaining side pocket is too small to fit a standard Nalgene/Klean Kantene/Water Bottle. 3) This pack would be great for a female who wanted to carry 1/3 of the gear going with someone else that wanted to carry 2/3 of the gear... But I thought it was a little small for a tent, sleeping bag, clothes, & food/cooking supplies. It might be great for a 2 or 3 day trip, but not for a week.

This pack was a wonderful find! I got it for a great price on STP and it has been everything I expected. I had a few requirements when I was purchasing a pack (separate sleeping bag compartment, lots of pockets, women's fit) and this pack has all that plus more! It came with a duck's back which was very useful on its maiden voyage up in NH when we got caught in a thunderstorm. I used this pack for a 3 day/2 night trip and had plenty of space for what I needed. Definitely pleased so far!

So far I've only taken it out on a weekend trip. I found it easy to put on and carry. It fit comfortably in the contours of my back and seem to distribute the weight so it felt like I wasn't carrying a heavy load. I'm still exploring all the compartments and finding a use for each one. I think I'm going to enjoy this pack.

Purchased this pack for a Europe pack trip. It is well built, and will hold up well to the airlines. It's not a minimalist pack, but it's not overweight either. Has all the features of much more expensive packs. I easily would have paid twice as much for this quality. Glad STP isn't making me.

Very nice, seems to be extremely well made and durable. Plastic rain cover included. I'm actually male with a smaller frame (5'10' 175#) and this pack fits very well when adjusted properly. Does include seperate sleeping bag/mud room in the bottom of the pack - this can be unzipped to enlarge total main hold capacity. Very nice, exactly what I expected from this Lowe Alpine.

I just got my low alpine tfx apalachian backpack with out trying it on. Im an extream hiker(like cliffs and rock climbing, or any thing harsh im there)The pack was so great that it felt like it wasnt there, My boyfriend got it for me for a valentines presnt, he has the male model, and he had me try it. i got it for a great deal and it is so tuff it was strong when i clmbed through brush and trees never ripped and the fabric of it is so durable i also bought the palasades dog back pack for my mutt she also hikes with us she is also extrem, she seemed like the pack was not on her and the fabric is very duable. I compleatly recomend these products to anyone any female or dog that wants to buy them

Got this pack for extended hikes; i have a small frame and find it difficult to get a good fit on a multi-day pack that doesn't leave me shoulders and lower back aching. This pack is designed with women in mind, and the fit is perfect! Easy to adjust, easy to load...only drawback is that its a bit heavier than I'm used to, but a small price to pay for the comfort!

Haven't actually used the pack yet on a hike but will be using it for travel. Have had experience with other brands of backpacks and am impressed with this one because it is both lightweight and durable. The seams are very strong and there are lots of different places to put gear. Definitely a great pack!

I use this pack as an all-around pack both on two and three day hiking trips and as my primary check-in baggage on international flights. The comfort of the shoulder straps./ waist belt system are important to me because they make it a really great way of carrying heavy loads of luggage. The ripstop fabric design is really durable when flying. No ripping by wild baggage handlers.
