Looking for a decent hiking pack - suggestions? 29-Jun-2011 At 1:43:48 PM dagdamor

I have the 45+10 version of Robb's Lowe Mountain Attack and it has held up well so far, bar the top pocket zip seal getting ripped to shreds since it's often the highest point on the pack, and so gets the odd scrape on low branches etc. Doesn't affect the function at all and from the start I didn't believe the pocket would be waterproof. The pack has seen 2+ years of walking, skiing, a couple intensive months skiing and pick swinging in the Canadian Rockies etc. I have loaded it up to the gills for multi-day ski tours and it does just fine. My Macpac Ascent has been gathering dust (and mildew as I recently discovered!) under my bed since I bought this.

Buy some shock cord and a couple of keyring biners to thread the crampon patch with and you're laughing.
