Chris Jakeman from Montane joined us for a day to take us through the finer points of the 2012 and 2013 range of rucksacks which are about to hit the streets in the UK.
In this particular video he explains the features of the Ultratour 22 a 545g pack suitable for many uses.
This pack is super and a stripped down lightweight roll top sack, which I can see will be popular with many outdoors people. Racers, runners, climbers, hikers and cyclists.
Developed through close involvement and experience in the MONTANE® Lakeland 100 race; a 100 mile trail race through the fells of the English Lake District. This race demands an extreme lightweight approach coupled with the facility to carry whatever you need to survive in the mountains. The UK’s unpredictable weather means that conditions during the race can range from bitter cold to hours of torrential rain to bright sunshine.
The Ultra Tour 22 is the consummate mountain race pack, constructed from ultra lightweight RAPTOR ZERO fabric. It features a roll-top closure for fast access to clothing and equipment and large STRETCH MESH pockets for storage of route maps, water bottles and essentials.
The ultra lightweight and minimalist nature of the Ultra Tour 22 makes it an ideal summit pack that can be carried on longer mountain routes within another, larger pack, for day excursions or the final summit day.
