Lowe Alpine Airzone Centro 35 Rucksack

My score: 4/5

The Low Alpine Airzone Centro 35 is a great compromise between a day bag and a full rucksack. Having a capacity of only 35 litres means it's not too large but does struggle to hold provisions for a weekend, however, I managed to easily fit in two large bottles of water, lunch for four, a couple of maps, a water-proof and a jumper. The bag is designed as a rucksack so it is extremely comfortable; the waist and chest straps are well padded and the Airzone system (the first one I've used) is a revelation. The taught elastic frame keeps the bag away from the body but provides great support. It also has a raincover and side pockets for bottles and other equipment (the least I'd expect).
