Montane Switch 20 Daypack

Product Information

Versatility without compromise is central to the Azote 32 making it one of the most functional, go-anywhere, do-anything packs for the core outdoor user on long mountain days or minimalist overnight adventures . CONTACT Air Mesh Plus panels placed on the shoulder straps, hip fins and back pad will provide much-needed ventilation. Montane Switch 20 Backpack Carry your equipment in reliability and comfort with the Montane Switch 20 Backpack. I find it uncomfortable after a couple of hours, and will not be using the Azote 32 after this review. While it's possible to remove the lid to save a bit of weight, I don't think this pack really lends itself to the minimalist approach since you can't also remove the hip belt.

For quick jelly baby access without breaking stride, reach for the stretchy zipped pockets placed on each fin of the hip belt.This means that warm air will be released easily, therefore, keeping the user cool and undistracted as they explore. Featuring a unique elasticated gusset which 'hugs' your backpack, meaning it will fit a variety of backpack shapes. For me, the back system simply feels too floppy to support the larger capacity and lidded design, whereas with the smaller zipped alternative I can see that same softness proving to be an asset rather than a drawback. Built To Send have created a surprisingly simple piece of equipment, but one made from the highest quality materials, and with a level of care and deliberation that sets it apart" says Toby Archer.

A proportion of the fabric, and the mesh used on the back system, comes from recycled sources, which has to be a good thing. This is more midweight than truly lightweight, and you can certainly find lighter packs of around this size. Depending on where you live, the time it may take for your exchanged product to reach you, may vary. With durable material, soft padding on the back and room for up to 20 litres of items, the backpack is perfect for long days out on the trails.In the recent run of hot weather, which even made it to Wester Ross, I've really appreciated the air flow offered by the Azote, and the fact that your back and shoulders are not swimming in sweat. This expertise is used to create a collection of mountaineering, mountain walking and trail running clothing that is developed to withstand the most extreme conditions and environments, allowing everybody who experiences the quality of Montane to go FURTHER. We tested the bag over summer and autumn, both here in the UK and on a trip to the Ecrins, and were suitably impressed. This only tends to matter when I want to use the hip belt to take a bit of weight, a situation that begins to arise with a larger daypack such as the Azote 32. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.
