Lowe Alpine backpack

Lowe Alpine is a renowned outdoor brand originally founded in the United States by Greg Lowe in 1967. Famous for revolutionizing the hiking world with the internal frame backpack, the brand has a deep heritage in mountaineering and technical innovation.

Today, the brand's production is spread across multiple countries, particularly in Asia (such as Vietnam and Indonesia), to leverage specialized textile manufacturing. Ownership moved to the United Kingdom when the brand was acquired by Equip Outdoor Technologies UK Ltd in 2011, which also owns the Rab brand. As of 2026, it remains a pillar of high-quality technical outdoor gear under British management.
