KNOW WHAT YOU’RE BUYING

The table below is designed to help you understand where Montane products are made and what they are made from. Lower impact materials have a reduced environmental footprint and increased traceability via third party accreditations. For example recycled content, Responsible Down Standard certified down, and branded yarns like Tencel ™. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs).

    Super comfy and well designed

    I've used this pack for an ultra trail event running 3 marathons in 3 days and it is fantastic. Very secure and comfortable, it doesn't bounce around and you don't notice you're wearing it. It's the perfect size for mountain events with a mandatory kit list. The pockets are easy to access and there are good zip pockets at the front where you can securely store a phone.

    The slight padding feels a bit warm on your back in warm weather (in comparison to my thinner Salomon one), and it would be handy to have front loops big enough to fit a bladder tube through to hold it in place. But neither of those things bothered me enough to drop a star, I'd still give it 5. Hopefully I'll be using it for many years to come!

    (For size reference: I'm a size 8 woman with a small chest and got the size S, and that was perfect for me.)
