Cooler carry with easy access
Rab says:
This is our essential pack for day hikes in hot temperatures, built with our groundbreaking ventilated back system to keep the air flowing and your back sweat-free. Constructed with body-contouring suspended mesh that distributes weight effectively, it stays comfortable from the moment you shoulder your pack to the last step of your journey. It has a reduced profile to minimise weight and keep your load stable, yet it’s also impressively durable, with a 140D ripstop nylon that withstands the wear and tear of the trail. Fully featured, it’s the only pack you need for challenging hikes in warmer climates.
Built with narrower dimensions, the Airox 22ND is ideal for women or those with smaller frames.
Our Verdict
The Women’s Airox 22ND is built around a ventilated back system that keeps air moving while still providing a supportive carry. At 782g, it is not a stripped-back 22-litre day pack, but the weight brings comfort-focused features: a structured back system, hipbelt pockets, chest-strap storage, side bottle pockets and a rain cover.
The ND fit uses narrower dimensions, making it better suited to women or anyone with a smaller frame. I like the full-zip, full-wrap entry, as it makes waterproofs, food or spare layers easier to reach than on a simple top-loader. The front stash pocket is ideal for damp kit or a layer you keep taking on and off, while the 22-litre capacity gives enough room for a warm-weather hill day.
