Description
The Rab Airox 22 ND is a 22-liter ventilated backpack designed specifically for women, ideal for hiking, trekking, and day trips in warm conditions. This version incorporates an ND (narrow fit) adjustment, adapted to shorter and narrower backs, improving comfort and stability during movement.
It is part of Rab's new generation of ventilated backpacks, replacing the classic AirZone concept with a more technical and efficient design. Its AEROFIT™ system promotes air circulation, reducing heat and moisture buildup on the back during activity.
Real Technical Performance
The AEROFIT™ system creates an effective separation between the backpack and the back, allowing for constant airflow. This translates into a much cooler feeling during hot weather treks or prolonged exertion.
The ND fit makes a real difference in use, preventing load shifting and improving ergonomics during movement. Compared to unisex backpacks, this version offers greater stability and comfort for users with a narrower build.
Its 22-liter volume makes it a very versatile option for full-day trips, allowing you to carry more gear without sacrificing agility.
