Lowe Alpine TFX Summit 65+15 Internal Frame Backpack

Product Highlights

True to its innovative history, Lowe Alpine has introduced a carry system that offers stability and reliability with refreshingly simple adjustment features. Designed for multi-day and extended backcountry excursions, the Lowe Alpine TFX Summit 65+15 offers a heavy load carrying suspension, comprehensive fit adjustability and ample interior capacity.

The TFX Summit 65+15 relies on three integrated systems to provide maximum fit and comfort. The TFX Torso Fit back system allows for easy adjustment and a customized, comfortable fit for hikers of varying shapes and sizes. Simply flip up the lumbar pad, loosen the buckle and adjust the torso length by extending or cinching the strap until the color-coded block that matches your torso measurement appears in the buckle. Re-fit the lumbar pad and off you go! Providing maximum balance, the Torso Motion system allows the waistbelt to react relative to your spine while the internal frame of the TFX Summit 65+15 flexes and rotates with your torso.

Perhaps the single most innovative feature found on the carry system, the Torso Micro Adjust function customizes the profile of the lumbar pad to the natural curve of your lower back. By squeezing or releasing a waistbelt-mounted pump, you can increase or reduce the loft of the lumbar pad to best adapt to varying terrain or changes in the layers of clothes you are wearing on the trail.

Twin lightweight aluminum stays equip the TFX Summit 65+15 with rigid strength for heavy loads. Side compression straps enable you to cinch or expand the depth of the packbag, ensuring that contents remain in place regardless of how heavy a load you are carrying. An extendible spindrift collar expands the full capacity of the TFX Summit 65+15 to 4882 cubic inches. Contoured padding on the backpanel, shoulder straps, lumbar panel and waistbelt provide comfort and further enhance your balance. Load-lifter straps and a sliding sternum strap conveniently adjust, allowing you to make micro adjustments while on the move. In addition, Lowe Alpine's trademarked Noggin Notch provides a contoured space for head movement, combating the stiff, sore neck often associated with a long day on the trail.

A zippered divider between the TFX Summit 65+15's top loading main compartment and front entry sleeping bag compartment allows for organization and separation of wet and dry gear. When hauling longer items or in need of access between the two compartments, you can unzip the divider and convert the TFX Summit 65+15 to a single, large compartment. The extendible lid with internal and external zippered pockets provides further storage and can be detached for use as a belt pack.

Numerous lash points, twin ice axe loops, trekking pole attachment cords and an integrated elastic shoulder strap-mounted GPS holder add to the TFX Summit 65+15's versatility in the backcountry. Two tuck-away "fabric and stretch" pockets are designed for easy on-trail access to water bottles. A lined interior pocket and built-in tube exit make the TFX Summit 65+15 hydration compatible. A removable rain cover tucked into a lower pocket on the side of the pack offers extra protection against the elements. Providing valuable assistance in emergency situations, the buckle on the sternum strap doubles as a whistle and an informative SOS panel is imprinted on the underside of the lid.

The Lowe Alpine TFX Summit 65+15 is available in Lizard Green/Slate Grey and True Red/Black color options.
