lowe alpine airzone trail backpack

Lowe Alpine’s AirZone Trail packs deliver all the features that make a rucksack easy to pack, pick up and go. Hitting the trail should be straightforward, and so should the design of a backpack. The AirZone Trail’s classic single-buckle, top-loading entry is sturdy, easy to use and can be trusted to keep performing. The pack body is constructed from tear resistant, durable 210D ripstop fabric coated in water-resistant Hydroshield.

The AirZone carry system is well-known for its comfort and simplicity. The back panel is constructed from a single piece of tensioned mesh that creates a gap between the wearer’s back and the pack body. This design ensures that cool air can flow between you and the backpack, reducing sweat and rubbing, and therefore increasing comfort to enhance the experience of a day in the mountains. 

Since life on the trail is not always so straightforward, there are plenty of extras features to help carry all the things that you might need. Hip-belt pockets for your phone, easy-access zippered front pocket for trail snacks, walking pole tip grippers for secure pole storage, and a built in raincover for when the sky turns dark and stormy.

What the critics say: 

“Overall it’s one of the best-ventilated hiking and walking packs out there, designed and finished with understated quality and polish and an effective, no-nonsense performer particularly in warmer conditions.”

“The AirZone Pro is made with a tight mesh which lifts the backpack away from your back, allowing air to flow freely and keep you cool, great for when you’re hiking great distances.”
