What is the Escape Tour ND50+15?
The Escape Tour is a unique yet incredibly versatile travel companion which actually features two rucksacks in one! Use them together when travelling, then when you reach your destination, leave the large 50 litre pack in the hostel and explore with the 15 litre pack.
What are they made of?
Both packs are made largely from a super tough 210D ripstop nylon, giving you the confidence that they'll be able to take all the abuse that you can throw at them. The base of the larger pack is made from an almost armour-like 600D polyester, increasing durability and abrasion-resistance. All fabrics feature a HydroShield coating to add weather-resistance if you happen to get caught out. Please note, this does not make the pack waterproof and we would still recommend using drybags for 100% protection.
What is the backsystem?
Lowe Alpine use their Air Contact+ back system in the Escape Tour. This system comprises of a moulded foam with cut-outs in specific areas where you require greater breathability. The foam not only provides greater breathability but stops items inside the pack jabbing you in the back. Layered on top of this foam is a lightweight mesh to effectively grip to your back.
When choosing a rucksack, adjustability is one of the most important aspects to get right. The Escape Tour features a fully adjustable back system; simply undo the velcro, slide the shoulder straps to the desired height and push the velcro back down.
Moving down, the hipbelt features a comfortable layer of foam to mould to your body and a mesh over the top for added grip. The straps are 'forward pull', so it's easy to get the belt nice and tight without straining.
If all of this wasn't enough, the entire back system can be stowed away when travelling to prevent damage.
What are its features?
Entry into the Tour is via a large zip on the rear of the bag, giving you access to all of your kit at once. Top and side handles make it easy to quickly grab the bag off a conveyor belt or the back of a car, while compression straps allow you to cinch your kit down when not fully packed. On the side of the main pack, you'll find an expandable zipped pocket with an internal mesh pocket for quick to access items.
The daypack's features include a padded laptop sleeve (up to 13.5"), an internal passport pocket, 2 mesh side pockets for bottles, lash points for additional kit, a top pocket with a key clip and a handy sternum strap with a built-in safety whistle.
