Arcteryx Arro 22 Backpack
By S. Dee Davis
As soon as we put on the Arcteryx Arro 22 backpack, we noticed that it was built for comfort—which is great if you’re looking for an all-purpose hiking/camping backpack. This backpack rests high on the back and distributes the weight well so you barely feel it pulling down on your shoulders. The pockets are conveniently placed and the material is heavy and durable so you can carry bulky, heavy items with no worries. Available for $179, this Arcteryx backpack is a valuable choice even if it doesn’t offer all the fancy features of its pricier counterparts.
Key specifications:
- Capacity: 1342 cubic inches
- Weight: 2.06 pounds
- Access points: Top only
- Perfect for a trip to: The slightly-damp-on-a-dry-day mountains of Olympic National Park along the coast of Washington state.
