Karrimor Airspace Backpack- Gear review

Gear, Packs — By Outdoor Adventure Guide on May 15, 2012 at 5:25 pm

The Karrimor Airspace Rucksack - RRP £64.99

An uncomplicated, compact ‘bullet’ style pack made of robust rip-stop fabric. Karrimor have built in flexibility with the ability to divide one large compartment into two, accessed via two separate zips, which is handy for loading. A deep pocket on the front is perfect for zipping away lunch or a waterproof. In addition there are two small mesh side pockets; useful for snacks or gloves. Karrimor’s Airspace system is designed to aid ventilation and keep the pack away from your back, but is heavier than comparable packs on the market. The padded waistband moves with your hips and independently from the rest of the pack. A good all-round entry level daysack.
