Ever since founders Chris Roff and Jake Doxat met on an expedition in Southern Chile in 1989, British brand Montane has prided itself on creating high-performance, lightweight gear for mountaineers and fast and light adventurers.
The brand’s range of backpacks embodies this DNA, consisting of its Gecko hydration packs, its Azote daypacks and its ever-popular Trailblazer series, packs designed for speedy mountain days. At Advnture, we’ve previously reviewed the standard Trailblazer 44L and the Trailblazer LT 20L, an ultralight, waterproof pack designed for mountain running, and were impressed with their lightweight qualities and design features.
