The Montane Trailblazer XT 35L Backpack is built for durability, adaptability and speed. Its recycled, high-performance RAPTOR CROSS 210D fabric is augmented with a PFC-Free DWR to keep your equipment dry. The breathable-foam back panel has been 3D-moulded to provide increased comfort for moving with heavier loads, and works with the COVALENT straps to provide stability. Fast and light missions in the mountains are made more efficient by the modular, easy-to-access storage and secure attachment for an ice axe or walking poles. The new Montane T-Hook system provides lightweight adaptability by allowing you to re-configure your pack on the fly. This highly durable backpack is the ideal companion for challenging walking, hiking and trekking routes, where you might be scrambling over rock or traversing snow and ice. It has the classic daypack capacity of 35L for missions where you need to pack a full loadout of kit, including an emergency warm layer, such as the Montane Men's Anti-Freeze Packable Hooded Down Jacket.

- EDEnnis de V.Verified BuyerI recommend this productWhat activities will you be using this item for? Hiking, Trail Running, FastpackingRated 4 out of 5 stars2 months agoTrailblazer XT 35 Review
An excellent fastpacking pack! I ran 105km along the Norfolk Coast Path with this pack containing a bivvy, sleeping mat, sleeping bag, food, water, and spare clothes with no issues. The suspension works really well and once the back panel and load-tension straps are correctly adjusted chafing is not an issue despite carrying a reasonably heavy load.
My one concern is the longevity of the dual chest straps, they have unusual clips which would probably be better substituted for standard pinch clips as although they worked well for me they don't appear particularly robust. I imagine I will have to replace these over the lifespan of the pack. the rest of the pack appears to be reasonably durable and should last for a number of years.
Overall I can recommend this pack for someone looking for a mid-size rucksack for daily use or a fastpacking pack for multi-day trips.

Great features, and well made product - however I found that shoulder straps to be designed for much broader shoulders than mine, so they keep feeling at risk of slipping off. No adjustment to compensate that I could see. So unfortunately the product was not good for me.
