AIRZONE PRO+ 35:45 £110

The AirZone range is named after the ahead-of-the-curve back system that Lowe Alpine unleashed in 2007. Now fully updated, the 2017 AirZone range includes some of the comfiest, most ventilated and most stable rucksacks you can buy. The Airzone 35:45 was a recent winner of Testers’ Choice in Country Walking. As well as the AirZone Centro back system, the pack boasts full-zip side opening for easy access, stretch side pockets, an AdaptiveFit hip-belt, an integrated rain cover and walking pole tip grippers.
