Montane says:
Evolving our innovative trailblazer packs to be more adaptable and with less environmental impact for ultimate versatility when moving quickly through the mountains.
The Montane Trailblazer 3L Waist Pack is the perfect size pack for fast and light missions where you need the bare essentials, but you still want to carry walking poles. The durable design has been updated with RAPTOR CROSS LITE 70D recycled fabric that has a PFC-Free DWR coating to keep your valuables dry.
The Trailblazer 3L Waist Pack is built to adapt to your adventure with the new Montane T-Hook system and the easy-to-access storage options, while the highly breathable air mesh back panel and secure straps add comfort for long days on the trail.
This durable waistpack is the ultimate companion for fast-paced mountain missions, including walking, hiking and fastpacking.
We've taken the durable triple ripstop base fabric of our original Trailblazer and built the entire XT pack out of it, giving you 210 denier durable Nylon protection on every face of the pack. The Raptor Cross 210D Nylon is recycled, has Triple Ripstop and a PFC-Free DWR Coating - it provides reliable abrasion resistance against rock and ice.
The Montane T-Hook system is a custom design that allows fixing points to be relocated on the pack, and is now seen across the Trailblazer range. The T-Hooks are secured through laser-cut holes to either side of the front panel and have been tested in the mountains to provide maximum adaptability with the minimum weight.
