Lowe Alpine Vision 25

Great 25L pack!

This is a great 25L pack. I have its 40L big sibling which is also a great pack that I use for backpacking when I need to gear for sleeping outside in cooler temperatures. It's hard to find 25L packs that are this built up with a thick hip belt, brain, side pockets.

Perhaps a bit heavy by today's standards but overall a great sturdy pack that's not going to wear out. I have used it on the Camino de Santiago and also a few summer overnights on the AT. They don't make them anymore so if you see one out there and are looking for a good overnight/ daypack/ bag for the Camino grab one!

I'm a mountain guide and have owned a Vision 25 for about 5 years, having a great experience as a comfortable day backpack, easy to stuff on most airplanes, trains and buses. Sturdy and well manufactured, even able to deal with moderate rain.

Zippers are still working, there's enough gap between the backpack and my back, good stability. The side straps are very useful when fully packed for extra stuff (walking poles, water bottle, etc).

Will buy one similar when having to replace it.
