Lowe Alpine AirZone Centro 27 Backpack - Internal Frame

This is a great backpack designed for long day hikes. It is very comfortable and you can carry everything you need easily for the day. It's not big enough for overnight camping, and I wouldn't really think of it as a backpack for school, even though you can use it for that...it just doesn't have dividers for notebooks, laptops, etc. like a school backpack would have. This backpack is made for anyone who wants a quality backpack for carrying their gear...it's durable and has plenty of nice features. I took it on an 8 mile hike this past weekend, and it worked great!

this pack is surprisingly spacious. in part that is because of the front "bucket pocket." it is far more hearty than the mesh ones. it holds two 32oz water bottles plus. it is not quite big enough for minimalist overnighters, but then just maybe. only wish it had somwhat better padding.

This is a nice pack. I bought it to carry camera gear and day hiking stuff like a jacket, first aid kit, headlamp and hiking poles. I especially like the side access pocket to get to my camera. The pack is not light but it carries well and is very comfortable because it's so adjustable. I also like the pockets so that I can keep my stuff organized and easy to find. The hydration pocket holds my 100 oz bladder. It has a mesh band to keep the back of the pack away from my back for extra ventilation. I've only used it this winter so I haven't really tested that feature yet.

This pack seems like it is going to be a great purchase. My father has one, also, and he loves it. It is just the right size for a long day hike. Many outside pockets makes it easy to stash all kinds of goodies. My only complaint, being a woman, is that I wish it had a little more hip and shoulder padding for longer hikes.

Like the size and suspension for my half day hikes. It just needs a few more small pockets for easy access to snacks, camera, etc....

Let's face it; nothing's perfect. The only problem I found is that the padding on the hip belt needs to be about an inch longer on each side to fall in a more comfortable spot for my 34in waist. As no two bodies are the same, this may not be a problem for anyone else...Love it enough to have bought the AirZone Centro ND23 for my wife!

This is a wonderful pack. Once adjusted its incredibly comfortable despite it being a bit heavy. Its not huge inside but it can hold quite a bit of gear. It has a ton of adjustments and while the straps do tend to hang out all over there plenty of places to tuck them in. I am more than happy with this pack especially if you consider the discounted price. Amazing pack for the price.

I use this primarily for short hike and snowshoeing. It's comfortable, holds enough for a day hike. Several convenient pockets. I haven't used it long enough to determine durabilty. Easy to adjust.

I have been seeking the right day pack for my casual day hikes and X-cntry outings. I think this is a winner. I can't wait to get out there and impress my well equipped friends.

Need to pay attention in setting up this pack to fit your size and physical features, but once accomplished is well worth the effort. Very comfortable, useful capacity, dual access to main compartment is a plus. Lots of straps and buckles to learn, but once mastered should reward with comfort and utility.
