This expanded-capacity backpack is made for rugged environments, using recycled materials.
Montane says:
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.
