The Lowe Alpine company was created by the Lowe brothers (Mike, Greg and Jeff).

History

In 1967 Greg created a back pack, named the Expedition Pack, with internal Phenolic 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 specially 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 company continues to produce outdoor equipment.[1]
