LOWE ALPINE AIRZONE ACTIVE 22L £70

Equipped with all the essential features required for a day hike, this lightweight daypack is a superb choice for warm weather hillwalking. Despite its smaller capacity, it doesn’t skimp on carrying comfort either, with a suspended mesh back system and an anti-barrel backplate to prevent lumps and bumps from digging into your spine.

VERDICT Practical and lightweight little daypack that employs a simplified but similarly effective version of the AirZone breathable back system found in Lowe Alpine’s bigger packs.
