Trailblazer 3 Waist Pack Montane Outlet

Montane says

The lightweight Trailblazer® 3 is a body hugging waist pack with a secure and stable fit. The multitude of pockets and attachment points allow for quick and easy access to hydration, food and kit while on the move.

Our Verdict

Montane’s Trailblazer 3 Waist Pack places accessibility on the move as the key design feature. The two pockets on the hip belt are a good size and really handy for smaller items such as snacks, gels, gloves and buff. The main pocket is a good size with some helpful pouches stitched inside too. There is also a versatile and handy bungee strap and daisy chain for external storage.

The back panel has air mesh making it impressively breathable for harder runs and uphill sections. The pack is aimed at fast moving days in the mountains and it will suit runners and mountain marathoners. I’ve used this for short trail runs through to all day epic runs and have also used it to add to the capacity of my current running vest for ultra distances and an overnight trip so I could easily organise key kit.
