Our Verdict
The Montane Trailblazer 32 is a versatile and sustainably constructed pack well-suited for fast hiking, peak bagging, and minimalist overnights. Weighing under 900g, it provides 32 litres of storage in a streamlined, body-hugging design.
The recycled Raptor Cross Lite 70D nylon fabric has a durable water-repellent coating to withstand light rain. The recycled base adds extra reinforcement against abrasion. Well-conceived pockets, including stretchy side wand pockets, provide plentiful organisation for snacks, layers, and essentials.
The moulded back panel and Covalent harness system allow the pack to hug the body closely for stability when moving quickly over rough terrain. The adjustable back length helps dial in an optimal torso fit.
