Lowe Alpine company profile

Lowe Alpine started from humble beginnings back in 1967. At this time the Lowe brothers Greg, Mike and Jeff were travelling throughout the USA developing new routes and pioneering a revolutionary method of climbing that we now call ‘alpine style’. This fast, lightweight approach to climbing meant small, self-sufficient teams of climbers would travel fast and light, carrying only what they needed with minimal technical equipment. This required a new type of backpack, one that moved with the body and didn’t feel cumbersome.
