Lowe Alpine Cerro Torre 65:85

The Lowe Alpine Cerro Torre 65:85 is a robust trekking backpack designed for extended journeys where you need reliable capacity and a sturdy carry system. With a main volume of 65 litres plus a 20-litre extension, it’s aimed at hikers and trekkers who pack for multiple days in variable conditions.

This pack stands out for its adjustable torso fit, accommodating a back length of 48–58 cm in the M/L size and 53–63 cm in the L/XL size, which helps distribute weight evenly and reduces shoulder strain. The included rain cover tucks away neatly when the weather is clear but pops out quickly to protect your gear from sudden showers. At around 2.9 kg, it strikes a balance between durability and manageable weight, while its 84 × 37 × 46 cm dimensions give you enough room for sleeping systems, cooking kit and extras without becoming unwieldy on the trail.

The torso‐length adjustment uses a simple sliding harness system: you lift the harness, move it to the desired setting, and lock it in place. This makes it easier to fine‐tune the fit as layers change or loads shift. The rain cover offers basic protection in wet weather—though the pack fabric itself isn’t waterproof, the cover helps keep your equipment dry during rainy stretches.
