$150 - Lowe Alpine Expedition 70+20 Backpack
Built for long trips the Lowe Alpine Expedition 70+20 backpack is a bargain at $149.95. That’s 44% off and half the price of comparable packs from other manufacturers. Plus, this pack is top-of-the line - with Lowe’s recent switch to compression-molded padding and a fit-system that keeps the hipbelt from needing to be adjusted (or from tearing out during long, rough trips). The pack has 4272-5492 cubic inches of size for short-week trips and plenty of expansion for bulky fall and winter clothing and sleeping bags.
