With its suspended open-weave mesh back panel, the fully ventilated AirZone LT carry system is breathable enough for a rush-hour bike ride, stable enough for a day in the hills and soft enough to be worn over a T-shirt.

The integrated rain cover comes with corner clips for a secure fit when pedalling hard and the fast-wicking hip fins are great for spreading the load without trapping moisture or inflating the weight. Accessed through the top of the pack, the main storage space has multiple compartments, including a padded 13-inch laptop sleeve and a mesh security pocket with a key clip.

In addition to upper compression straps, discreet walking pole loops and a quick-stash front pocket, the AirZone Spirit also features webbing reinforcements at the corners for outstanding long-term durability. If you’re a mountain-loving commuter in need of a cool crossover daypack, the Lowe Alpine AirZone Spirit 25 is it.
