The Montane Trailblazer 8 Backpack is your lightweight, durable solution for moving fast in the mountains. The streamlined design is mapped to your body and the COVALENT harness adjusts to fine tune the fit, with vertical and horizontal compression, for comfort on the move. The new Montane T-Hooks can be moved to any of the laser-cut holes on each side of the front panel to provide adaptable attachment points for walking poles and spare layers, and work in concert with ergonomically positioned, wrap-around and shoulder pockets to carry food and hydration. The RAPTOR CROSS LITE 70 Denier, recycled Nylon fabric boosts durability and keeps your equipment dry, while the moulded back panel and shaped front straps add stability. A highly adaptable Montane T-Hook system that can be used to stash your walking poles, also makes this backpack fully customisable to your fast and light needs.

Great little backpack. Lightweight with plenty of room for the basics such as a jacket, water bottle a snack and small camera. Useful pockets on the shoulder straps. I use this on my bike as well as for short walks. My only negative is that the 'removable' attachments are very tricky - in fact I have been unsuccessful in removing or moving them at all, but it doesn't bother me too much.

Excellent little pack. I bought for mountain biking, it fits small hydration pack very nicely. My wife also loves it as a light walking pack, she says she cannot feel it when she's wearing it.
