Lightweight,waterproof, perfect daysackCustomer Rating

Used on Dartmoor in very poor conditions, the DWR on this product is certainly durable and very water repellent, kept all my gear dry in 7+ hours of rain. Also very useful as a more casual bag to take my climbing kit to the indoor wall. The slimline figure means the bag seems to be small, but is large enough to easily fit a days worth of kit or at a squeeze enough for a one night camp. As well as all the above it looks great, with the orange and blue matching my waterproofs. Feature wise it exceeds other brands, and has the high build quality you expect of Montane

Medusa 32Customer Rating

A great pack. Loved the gear loops on the hips... a really useful feature and not as small as some of the cheap mountain packs. The pack fits really well and is unbelievebly comfy. Perfect size for a long day out scrambling or cragging. Nothing but praise for this pack. Would definately recommend
