The Montane Trailblazer 44L Backpack has been designed for multi-day, overnight adventures in the mountains. It’s built with recycled materials throughout, including a reinforced 100%-recycled base made from triple ripstop RAPTOR CROSS 210D Nylon. Further protection comes from a PFC-Free DWR coating to keep your equipment dry. This lightweight but rugged backpack has a precurved, aluminium frame to stabilise heavier loads, and is hydration bladder compatible. It’s packed with easy-to-access storage options, including a large mesh zipped front pocket and mesh side pockets, and the modular Montane T-Hook system adapts to your individual needs, for easy storage of walking poles, spare layers and more. There’s easy access to the main compartment using the side zips, for quickly stashing layers, while the wrap-around waist pockets and shoulder pockets accommodate hydration, food and accessories. The lightweight compression cord system provides further flexibility, making the Montane Trailblazer 44L your go-to backpack whether you’re wild camping, fastpacking or heading to the crag.

- SRSam R.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 months agoAlmost perfect
Just finished Wainright’s Coasr to Coast using this bag. Very comfortable and can take a tent, sleeping gear, a cooking system, spare clothes and food. The older model doesn’t have the vertical zip for the front pocket, or the zip to access the main compartment, but this wasn’t an issue.
- LLaurenVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoBest Bag!
Best bag I've brought for work and leading in the hills/mountains. The bag fits so comfortably and at such a good price.
The side pockets are so easily accessible and handy.
The pockets on the shoulder straps are stretchy for larger phones and compasses.
The bag is so much bigger than I imagined and so useful with groups and spare kit for others. Best purchase of kit I've made in a long time!!

I've not used it yet so can't comment on that front. However, my initial comments are that the design has improved from version 1 with larger side stash pockets and the ability to use a Flexi flask on both shoulder straps. I am initially concerned about packing the bag and catching the internal strap that holds the bag together for use of the zip entries. I like the improved side compression straps to reduce volume but the back construction limited the height volume adjustment. The ability to the bag to fit different sized people seems good once I'd fiddled with all the adjustment possibilities. This also means my husband could potentially use the bag. It would be nice to have brighter colours available. I'm going to be using the sack for long distance GR routes, probably starting with HRP in September. But may do the GR221 or similar routes to test the bag prior to that. I look forward to using it.
