One solitary flash of inspiration over 40 years ago was all it took to usher in decades of invention for outdoor equipment specialists Lowe Alpine, who today enjoy world-wide acclaim and a place as forerunners of industry standards.

Award-winning Greg Lowe started out in his work shed in Colorado in 1967, building on his experiences as climbing partner – and cousin – of first ascencionist and Alpine-style rock climbing advocate Jeff Lowe.

First for bringing in rucksack compression straps and stablisers, Lowe’s reputation was founded on the length-adjustable backpack, especially the famed APS – Advanced Paralux System – back technology.
