I like this backpack as it’s large enough to comfortably fit everything in.
But I’m not sure I would use it again for any race longer than 20miles. The lack of a better fastening around the chest and waist means the contents bounce on the back. And after 40 miles my kidneys felt like they had been in a bout with Mike Tyson! For longer races I’d look to use a more back hugging and tight pack.
Before anyone asks, I know how to pack, I was only carrying 2/3KGs of kit. It’s not my first rodeo etc etc. The system needs a better way to make it less of a sack and more of an extension of the runners body.
Having said that. I love the pouches and the actual consideration and design of the pockets for the runner. Everything can be easily accessed from gels to poles. And so it’s a fantastic pack from that perspective. Just needs some tweaks on the harness and body hugging perspective.

I'm sorry to hear of the issue you experienced with your Gecko VP 20. It sounds as if the pack may be too big for you. The pack should not bounce, perhaps a medium would be more suitable? If you would like some extra chest straps please contact us at helpdesk@montane.com.
