AirZone Ultra ND26 to be showcased at OutDoor by ISPO & Outdoor Trade Show 2023 – Consumer launch in Spring/Summer 2024
Leading backpack manufacturer Lowe Alpine (owned by Equip Outdoor Technologies Ltd.) has received the prestigious ISPO Award for its new AirZone Ultra ND26 pack. Minimalist, agile, and super streamlined, the AirZone Ultra is the lightest member of Lowe Alpine’s AirZone family of highly breathable day packs and will be available to consumers in Spring/Summer 2024. Together with Lowe Alpine’s new product highlights, the AirZone Ultra ND26 will be showcased at the upcoming OutDoor by ISPO and Outdoor Trade Show, both taking place in June 2023.
The AirZone Ultra’s ventilated carry system is built with a patented FormKnit construction, giving stability and flex where needed and allowing plenty of airflow. The result is an incredibly comfortable pack that moves over any terrain, ideal for fast-hiking and ultralight summer bivis.
