Lowe Alpine Men's Cerro Torre 65:85 Pack Black/Greyhound

So you're going on a multi-day trek. What's the deal with bringing your entire apartment with you? I mean, you need a pack that can handle your "I might need this" mentality AND your "but what if I need THIS too?" anxiety. Enter the Cerro Torre 65:85.

This is the pack that gets it. It's like that friend who says "sure, bring whatever you want" and actually means it. Start with 65 litres—already generous—then when you inevitably decide you need more stuff (and you will), boom: extend that lid and suddenly you've got 85 litres. It's like the pack equivalent of elastic waistband pants at Christmas.

The removable lid? It converts into a 15-litre daypack. So you can set up base camp, leave the big pack behind, and summit with just what you need. It's the mullet of backpacks: business at camp, party at the peak.

Features That'll Make You Go "Huh, That's Actually Smart"

• HeadLocker axe attachment system - Because sometimes you need to carry an axe, and no, your hands are not available
• Web loop compression strap - Fastens poles and axes securely (your gear stays put, unlike your hiking buddy who keeps wandering off to take photos)
• Weight: M-L 2.88kg / 6lb 6oz - L-XL 2.95kg / 6lb 8oz (lighter than your regrets about not training for this hike)
• Large stretch mesh side pockets - For water bottles, snacks, or that "lucky" rock you picked up on day one
• Front stash and zipped front pocket - Quick access storage for things you actually use
• VT FLEX™ - Fancy tech that makes the pack move with you instead of against you
• Capacity: 65+20lt / 3965+1220cu.in (that's a lot of freeze-dried meals)
• Dimensions: 84 x 37 x 46cm (bigger than your first apartment's closet)
• Removable lid converts to 15lt daypack with front stash - Two packs for the price of one? Now we're talking
• Side zipped bellow pockets - More pockets! Because you can never have enough pockets
• Front grab handle - For when someone needs to haul you up that last bit
• Extendable lid - Increases volume by an extra 20 litres (for the "just in case" crowd)
• Extendable hipbelt with dual pivot hip fins and stabilising load transfer bar - Engineering speak for "your hips won't hate you"
• SOS panel - Let's hope you never need it, but it's there
• Rain cover - Because weather forecasts are basically fiction
• Hydration compatible - Drink while you walk, like a sophisticated wilderness camel
• Integrated drawcord cover - For when you remove the lid and need to keep stuff from falling out
• Internal and external load compression straps - Cinch it down tight or let it breathe, your call
• Sternum strap with whistle - The whistle is for emergencies, not for annoying your hiking partners (officially)
• Internal lid security pocket with key clip - Because losing your car keys on day three would be a real plot twist
• Forward pull hipbelt adjustment with zipped hipbelt pockets - Snacks at hip level = genius
• Secure TipGripper walking pole attachments - Your poles stay attached, not bouncing down the mountain
• 500D Nylon hard wearing base - Tough enough to handle your "I'll just set it down here" moments
• Lash points - For additional external carry (sleeping pad, tent, that guitar you insisted on bringing)
• External zipped lid pocket - Even more storage, because apparently we're not done yet
• Zipped front and lower entry with internal zipped divider panel - Access your stuff from multiple angles without unpacking everything like some kind of pack-unpacking amateur

Size Specifications (The Numbers That Actually Matter)

This is the pack for people who take their adventures seriously but themselves not so much. It's got more features than a Swiss Army knife convention and enough capacity to make you question whether you're hiking or relocating. Perfect for multi-day treks, extended expeditions, or just really, really long walks where you need to bring everything including the kitchen sink. (Note: kitchen sink not included, but you could probably strap it to the outside.)
