Lowe Alpine Edge 22

The Lowe Alpine Edge 22 backpack marries everyday comfort with true multifunctional design. Originally introduced in 2008, the latest update brings a more refined exterior with fewer seams and slicker styling. It also sees the Air Contour™ carry system supplemented with a more structured back panel and a new harness yoke to optimise comfort. There’s a new 15-inch ‘drop-pocket’ laptop sleeve with secure hook-and-loop closure, which can also be used as an H2O pocket for extended hill walks. And while a tough TPR light loop adds extra urban functionality, the map pocket, trekking pole loops and removable hip belt are tailor-made for life in the hills.

If you like to work hard and play harder, the hiking-ready features of the Lowe Alpine Edge 22 make it one of the most user-friendly laptop day packs you can buy.
