The Montane Trailblazer 18L Backpack is mapped to your body to stay stable when moving at pace, and is made with recycled materials. The COVALENT harness and shoulder straps and 100% recycled RAPTOR CROSS LITE 70D fabric provide lightweight durability, comfort and performance. This backpack has more than twice the carrying capacity of the Trailblazer 8L, but only weighs 75g more, and can carry everything you need to be self-sufficient for fast and light one-day missions in the mountains. Easy-to-access and adaptable storage includes wrap-around pockets, the modular Montane T-Hook system, and a stretch mesh front pocket, for fuel, drinks and spare layers. Vertical and horizontal compression straps secure the load, while the T-Hook system can be configured to carry walking poles in the mode that best suits your activity, whether you’re running your favourite trail, or fast packing off the beaten track.

Good lightweight and comfortable day pack, like the multiple accessible external pockets. Worked well with cover on wetter days.

Good quality, lightweight with useful smaller pockets for phone, wallet and similar accessible without actually taking the backpack off, useful for quick photos or paying for a coffee during a walk etc.
Though only used for longer walks it does have lots of adjustment straps so likely easy to secure to body for running.

This backpack is perfect for days out hiking or walking tours of places of interest. Like to small and accessible poackets, secured with zips and the secret pocket for valuables. At 69 i find the little chest clasps a little tricky but getting used to them.
