Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Lowe Alpine Salient $129

I was in the market for a mid size pack when I found this pack on Seirra Trading Post for $129. Does anyone have any experience with it?

I've used that suspension, but not the pack. It handled a pretty good load (I'd say you might start wishing for more stiffness somewhere around 60-70 lbs.). 1000d cordura ought to hold up pretty good. Lowe alpine is generally one of the best values around, and this looks like a pretty good deal if you are on a slim budget.

Any idea how this pack would compare to a BL 2200 or an Eberlestock X2? Wanting it as a spike camp pack. I use an old Barneys pack for meat hauling.
