- PWpatrick w.Verified ReviewerI do not recommend this productWhat activities will you be using this item for? Trail RunningRated 1 out of 5 stars2 months agoThere's no convenient place to store water
No pockets for flasks in the front. No way to easily thread a bladder and nozzle in the back. Do you not want people to drink water?

Thanks for leaving a review.
The Trailblazer LT 28 has shoulder pockets that can take our smaller 360ml softflasks, and they can also take the larger 500ml flasks however the top will poke out, the zip locking feature can be used to hold them in place.
The pack also has mesh pockets on the sides that can hold water bottles.
There is a space at the back of the pack that holds a bladder up to 15.5cm wide, it has a clip at the top to hold it in place, and there are loops on the top of the shoulder straps to feed the nozzle through.
If you need any further guidance, please email helpdesk@montane.com and a member of our customer service team will gladly assist.

I've purchased this bag for a trip to Everest Base Camp, to be able to carry all that is needed without faffing around with lots of pockets. Liked the design of a roll top with silnylon material to fend off water.
Water bottle side pockets are large enough to take a 1L Nalgene with the capability of a drinking system external to the main pocket which is a great idea.
Think this could become my main bag for training courses. Nice work Montane.

I bought this pack for a multiday fastpacking adventure in Scotland. I could fit everything I needed for bivvying outside and general survival in the Scottish wilderness. The pockets are well designed. I like the roll top closure of the main compartment. I put a dry bag inside it, as I was using it in Scotland with a wet forecast, so I have no idea how water resistant the fabric of the pack is. It is light but also appears to be quite durable. However there are a few things which are really annoying.
The chest straps are elasticated, which means they don't hold in the position I set them at, when I start running. Any degree of bounce makes them come loose within seconds. I had to tie a knot in them about 200m into my first run with the pack, defeating the whole point in having adjustable straps, as now I can only adjust them to account for more/less layers of clothing with extreme difficulty. They need to be made of non-elasticated webbing, as on my other packs, which hold in place far more securely. There is no need for elasticated chest straps. Anything across the chest that has more stretch than a sports bra is pointless.
I had to buy this pack, as the women's trailblazer packs of similar capacity are more than double the weight of this one and I needed everything to be as light weight as possible. It would appear that Montane don't believe that women are capable of fastpacking, or they would have a womens specific Trailblazer LT pack. This matters because…
