Lowe Alpine Testimonials

 

 

 

Shape Magazine - http://www.shape.com/

will be featuring the Lowe Alpine Dryflo Seamless Tank in its upcoming June issue.  This is sure to increase interest and awareness to Lowe Alpine and its inspiring new spring clothing collection. 

 

Shape Magazine - http://www.shape.com

I’m pleased to say that Lowe Alpine has received some continued mention, this time coming in the July edition of Shape Magazine.  On page 126, the GETFIT section features 2 of our pieces – Seamless Tank and Seamless Tee (note that we’re the only brand to receive 2 products!)  I’m working on getting an image for you but figured I’d share in the meantime.

Sweat Shirts
Only masochists still wear cotton or scratchy old synthetics in the gym or on the trail. Now, it's all about seamless garments.

Add the seam to the gear endangered species list along with wooden tennis rackets and external-frame backpacks. The best new synthetic shirts, which dry four times faster than cotton, feature seamless technology: different weights and textures smoothly knit into one fabric. Although you still need some seams to attach the sleeves, companies are trying to minimize the amount. This increases comfort and performance because stitches add bulk, cause chafing, and prevent perspiration from evaporating. We sweat-tested 10 shirts by hiking, running, cycling, and lifting weights and picked our favorite four. --Joel Weber

No chance:

Lowe Alpine | Dry Zone Crew
Made from a nylon mix that's luxurious against the skin and features various fast-wicking seamless zones, this close-fitting shirt is ideal for both the gym and trail, especially on morning runs, when its 5.2-oz weight adds warmth. Bonus: The long torso will cover your belly button even when you stretch. [$55; www.lowealpine.com]

Oggetto: Tomaz Humar Renews Asolo and Lowe Alpine Contract

 

Greetings all,

 

We are pleased to announce that Tomaz Humar, one of the most accomplished expedition climbers in the world has renewed his contract with Asolo and Lowe Alpine for the next three years. 

 

Known as an all-around nice guy with nerves of steel and a VERY firm handshake (for those of you who have not shaken his hand, you’ve been warned), Tomaz has climbed many of the world’s highest mountains.  His constant quest for exploration has led him to many remote places in this planet and his book NO IMPOSSIBLE WAYS brings descriptions (both written and photographed) of Humar´s most important mountaineering ascents.

 

As an official sponsor, Tomaz Humar will be wearing Asolo footwear and Lowe Alpine apparel and packs for all his climbs and expeditions around the world.

 

For more information on Tomaz Humar, click on the following: http://www.humar.com/index.php?id=197&lng=en&PHPSESSID=ba026787f1b287ba35d5a045ab466c96

 

We wish Tomaz the very best in all his future expeditions!

 

Thanks,

Mayra Almonte

Lowe Alpine won a BEST BUY from Consumers Digest for the Contour III with mention of the Sirocco I, II and Contour IV as well in the April issue.

Lowe Alpine’s Mintaka 25 Pack (WOMENS) was awarded BEST IN TEST 2005 in Britain’s Best Selling Walking Magazine,

Country Walking.   

The Mintaka 25 was up against formidable competitors such as Deuter and Jack Wolfskin but in the end Lowe Alpine was TRIUMPHANT!!!

The mention can be found in the March 2005 issue on page 117.

 

Here’s what the editors had to say about the winning pack:

 

Comfort & Fit 10/10

The back system and harness fitted me exceptionally well, and the narrow, padded and contoured shoulder straps felt comfortable, even with a heavy load. The chest strap also has a wide range of adjustment.  The back system has lots of padding and the load sits nice and close, feeling snug and stable.

 

Performance 8/10

The top pocket is big and there are two ample side pockets, plus an elasticated front pocket – useful for carrying wet clothes or a map.  Good to see space for a hydration system, and a rain cover.

 

VERDICT

4 stars out of 5

A stable rucksack with a streamlined design, roomy interior and good pockets.  The back system and harness are comfortable – much thought has gone into making them fit the female form.
