KNOW WHAT YOU’RE BUYING

The table below is designed to help you understand where Montane products are made and what they are made from. Lower impact materials have a reduced environmental footprint and increased traceability via third party accreditations. For example recycled content, Responsible Down Standard certified down, and branded yarns like Tencel ™. Where a product uses a DWR you can easily see whether this uses potentially harmful chemistry (PFCs).

Raptor Flex 4-Way Stretch

Enhanced ease of movement is essential for a running pack that will enable you to go further on the trail. Engineered with a stretchy plain weave accommodates for any necessary pack expansion on the move, whilst minimising bounce. Durable abrasion resistance also makes this an incredibly robust mountain companion - able to withstand potential wear and tear on more adventurous trail runs.

POLYGIENE®. Permanent Odour Control.

Pushing yourself hard on the trail can be sweaty business! Luckily this Gecko running pack is treated with POLYGEINE, providing longer-lasting freshness on the move and a fast drying time. How does it work? POLYGEINE inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, stopping smells at the source. All this means you can wear more and wash less. Not only is this good news for you, but it's also good news for the planet.

    Super comfy and well designed

    I've used this pack for an ultra trail event running 3 marathons in 3 days and it is fantastic. Very secure and comfortable, it doesn't bounce around and you don't notice you're wearing it. It's the perfect size for mountain events with a mandatory kit list. The pockets are easy to access and there are good zip pockets at the front where you can securely store a phone.

    The slight padding feels a bit warm on your back in warm weather (in comparison to my thinner Salomon one), and it would be handy to have front loops big enough to fit a bladder tube through to hold it in place. But neither of those things bothered me enough to drop a star, I'd still give it 5. Hopefully I'll be using it for many years to come!

    (For size reference: I'm a size 8 woman with a small chest and got the size S, and that was perfect for me.)
