Lowe Alpine TFX Appalachian 65+15

I did a lot of research before buying this bag and I absolutely made the right choice. I decided that this was the bag I wanted and then I happened to find the previous year's model for a huge discount at Sam's Outdoor Outfitters. The bag is very comfortable and durable. It is fairly light yet still has many outside pockets and straps. The adjustable back works quite well and isn't sloppy like some.

The waist strap is a bit stiff and has a somewhat long break-in period, not to mention I have a 32" waist and it barely tightens enough for me. This is a great bag for the price, and rivals many of the very expensive models. The only bag I have seen since that is around the same price range that I like more is the Atmos 65 by Osprey.
