Dutch Lowe Alpine "Strike" 40L Pack

Designed by Lowe Alpine and improved by ARWY the Alpine Strike Pack is one of many Berghaus side-zip expandable packs that's become one of the most popular designs in Europe — well-deserved for their versatility.

The "Strike" Pack in particular is a taller, narrower profile pack similar to popular "hunting" packs on the market, with separate pouches that zip on to the side like many Berghaus styled packs. With its 40L capacity It's capable of carrying everything you need for a long weekend in the woods, and without the side zips it has plenty of room to carry a tarp and bedroll on its sides. It also features a buckled down top lid with an extra compartment for a rain cover or other quick access essentials.

Running light? the side zips double as a compression mechanism that keeps the pack closer to the user's body. Along with excellent shoulder padding and a wide kidney belt it'll be more than capable of handling a decent load without making you feel like Atlas. 

The cherry on top is its construction — a Near-Infrared-Reduced-Signature 1000D Cordura. As we're pretty familiar with this fabric ourselves, we can almost guarantee the stitches will come apart long before the fabric lets you down. And that's going to be hard to do.
