fs:Lowe Special Expedition pack(mondo)

[Thrashador]

Mid-80's model with some custom modifications. Carry's a ton of crap(5,700 cu. in.+) and is narrow enough to ski with. That is, if you like skiing with an anchor on your back.

 

$95 and it's yours.

Seems kind-asteep for a pack that is almost 20 yeras old?

 

Must be real special You may want to tell us why its still worth so much after all these years. Many lowe packs can be picked up brand new on the web for $150.00.

 

Good Luck

Rodchester,

 

Can you point me to a url for a new 5,700 cu. in.+ Lowe pack for under $180 other than ebay which in terms of GEAR more often than not isn't that great a deal?

[Rodchester]

Well, surf around. Campmor.com very often has the Contour Classic for $150.00, though they don't right now.

 

Also, Moose Jaw has the Contour Classic for $179.00.

 

Also check out Moore Moose Jaw .

Lowe has made aconcerted effort to keep thier pack prices low. In fact they have recently dropped prices on their larger and high-end packs. In 1992 the Contour IV was $255.00. It is now $229.00 and the older version is still available at $179.00.

 

No offense meant, but packs just loose thier value. I am hard pressed to belive that a pack that old is still worth that money. What kind of condition is it in?

[Thrashador]

No offense taken and thanks for the links.

I'd say it's in B+ condition given it's age. Has side ski/water bottle pockets I sewed on plus extra long lash staps over the sleeping bag compartment to accomodate larger sleeping pads and the like. I haven't used in 5 or so years and just purchased a 4,700 cu. in. pack that does the job. The price is negotiable btw.

 

Shame about M. Clarett, eh? What a title game last year.
