Montane Grand Tour

Details

Designed to be used on the long distance trail tours of this world, from the Pacific Crest Trail to the Great Himalayan Trail. Developed in conjunction with world leading authorities in long distance travel on foot. The Grand Tour 55 is exceptionally light despite featuring a back system that will provide comfort and technical details specifically designed for long distance treks. The strong and lightweight ‘VertErgo Tour’ back system can be tailored to the individual user and support load carrying for long periods of time whilst the RAPTOR Zero fabric in the main body of the pack ensures it is light but strong.



CONSTRUCTION

Constructed from ultra lightweight RAPTOR Zero fabric that provides an incredibly lightweight yet strong and tough pack body. Features a superb DWR and formidable tear resistance
RAPTOR UTL ultra tough, lightweight base panel prevents abrasion against rock surfaces
GRANITE STRETCH skirt lid side panels give a clean fabric hugging lid closure and additional storm protection with a sleek shape
Super lightweight HALO lining fabric has a 1m hydrostatic head and offers additional protection to contents

BACK SYSTEM

Moulded MONTANE® ‘Comfort Back Pad’ features channels that wick sweat and rainwater away from the body and give additional ventilation
‘VertErgo Tour’ back system provides strength, comfort and support with load carrying over long distances. This unique back system is extremely lightweight and can be removed for additional ultra weight saving and minimalism. It can be shaped to fit the user’s back for a specific tailored fit
Features a pre-curved horizontal aluminium bar across the top of the back panel which provides structure for top tension straps to torque off. This bar is pre-curved so that the pack does not inhibit head movement

HARNESS CONFIGURATION
