Lowe Alpine Tensor 23 Backpack

The Tensor 23 is a brilliant all-round daypack for hiking, scrambling, multi-pitch climbing, and even skiing.

This fully compressible 23-litre backpack has a handy external stretch mesh pocket that can be used to store anything from a wet waterproof to a map or guide book. For lightweight hikers this could be used year round, but for most of us it makes a great 3 season hiking pack. The side compression straps can also be used to carry skis, making this a multi-season as well as a multi-use pack.

The Robic 210D Shadow Ripstop fabric used to make this pack is 10 denier nylon with a  6.6 ripstop grid weave which delivers increased tear strength while ensuring the fabric remains as light as possible.
