Lowe Alpine is a USoutdoor equipment manufacturer founded inUtah in 1972 by brothers Mike,Greg andJeff Lowe. Today it is owned byRab.
In 1967 Greg created a back pack, named the Expedition Pack, with internalphenolic resin laminate stays, later revised to 6061 aluminium flat bar, being a frame which facilitated the carrying of heavy loads and a unique chest strap designed to attach to a haul rope while still wearing the pack. This sturdy special chest strap was changed to a chest-compression strap as well as the use of 6061 frame bars during the manufacturing period at High Touring, in Salt Lake City, Utah. In 1972 Mike borrowed $3,000 to register Lowe Alpine Systems as a manufacturing business.
The brand was sold toRab in 2011, and in 2014 it was announced that Lowe Alpine would stop making clothing.[1]
