Lowe Alpine Airzone Backpacks
Lowe Alpine launched their range of Airzone rucksacks exclusively with Cotswold Outdoor. The Lowe Alpine Airzone Backpacks come in a range of colours and sizes, from a 20 litre pack that would be perfect for the commute or short hikes, to a large 45+10 litre pack which gives you that extra space for a long day or occasional nights out.
The Airzones are classed as technical day sacks — they each have different features which make them suitable for a wide range of uses, whether you want a simple, clean backpack or a more fully featured pack with pockets around the outside.
All styles feature the Airzone back system, which has minimal mesh to maximise airflow and comfort. The backpack is curved for a better fit and to reduce pressure points. Some of the packs in the range feature the Centro Adjust system and the adaptive-fit hip belt, which allows you to adjust the fit to your body.
Much of the range is hydration compatible too, so if you use a CamelBak or similar it can be stored in these packs, with a special exit for the water tube.
Each Airzone has different features to fit different uses — taking you from an overnight camping backpack through to an active walking or commuting bag.
Who it's for
If you want a technical day sack that scales from commuting to short overnight trips, and value ventilation on your back over ultimate pack volume, the Airzone range is worth a look. As with any pack, the right size and fit depends on what you're carrying it for — try one on with the kind of load you'll actually be taking before you buy.
