What is the Lowe Alpine AirZone Ultra 26 Backpack?
The Lowe Alpine AirZone Ultra 26 Backpack is designed for hikers who value speed, efficiency, and comfort. This 26-litre pack is perfect for brisk day hikes or ultralight overnight trips. It's Crafted for a smoother journey and combines a streamlined design with the breathable mesh carry system.
What is it made from?
The Lowe Alpine AirZone backpack is crafted from high-quality materials. The main body is made from 100% recycled high tenacity, ripstop nylon and it is treated with a Trishield Coating.
High Tenacity Nylon offers strength and tear resistance and comes with an eye-catching bright luster effect. It boasts up to 70% greater tenacity and up to 100% improved abrasion resistance compared to standard materials with similar properties.
Additionally, this Nylon fabric is treated with Trishield coating, which is a specialised treatment applied to textiles, typically nylon or polyester. This coating forms a protective layer on the material's surface, making it more durable and better equipped to withstand the challenges of various outdoor activities.
Inside, there is a lining made of 100% Polyester, which strikes an ideal balance between durability and lightweight design, making it an excellent choice for all your outdoor activities.
What type of back system is used?
The Lowe Alpine AirZone backpack features an AirZone carry system with patented FormKnit technology. This backpack stands out with its lighter-weight construction and innovative enhancements, all aimed at maximising ventilation and comfort. A newly integrated convection channel facilitates heat escape through the top of the carry system, creating a vent space between your shoulders. The harness has been designed with a reduced surface area, minimising contact with your body, which helps you stay cooler during your outdoor escapades.
What are its features?
This backpack comes with great features in mind. The hip belt and harness incorporate a brand-new foam construction that prioritizes comfort and long-term performance.
The super quick drawstring closure and weather flap are designed to provide easy and efficient access to your gear while protecting it from the elements.
The drawstring closure is a system where you can simply pull a cord to tighten and secure the opening of the backpack. It's a fast and hassle-free way to close the main compartment, allowing you to quickly stow your belongings.
The weather flap is a protective cover that goes over the top of the drawstring closure. It protects against rain, snow, dust, or any other environmental factors that could get inside the backpack.
Need extra storage? The large front stash pocket is quick to access and perfect for items like your jacket or hat. You can use two stretch mesh side pockets for water bottles or on-the-go items and keep essentials handy with dual hip belt pockets—one zipped and one mesh stash.
Thanks to the internal zipped security pocket, you can store small valuables like keys, cash, ID, and other essentials, keeping them secure and within easy reach.
The backpack also includes a 3-litre H2O bladder sleeve, which is designed with dual exit options, allowing you to route the drinking tube over both shoulders, making it convenient and efficient during your outdoor activities.
Thanks to the compression straps, you can tighten your backpack's contents, reducing its overall volume. Compression prevents items from jostling around and maintains a balanced load closer to your back, reducing shoulder strain and improving weight distribution.
Finally, walking pole attachment points make it convenient to carry your hiking poles and keep your hands free.
