“The Montane trailblazer waist pack is my trusty fell racing companion. Even when it’s packed full of all the essential race kit (food being most important!), it remains lightweight so I can achieve the pace I want out on the fells. Overall, Montane’s functional, lightweight kit allows me to focus on pushing my body as hard as possible! !”- Victoria
