The Montane Grand Tour 70 L Backpack is as good as it gets when you need a pack to see you through very extended backpacking tours in comfort and in locations with limited opportunities to replenish your supplies.

The amazing roster of forty features listed below is testament to the trouble that Montane have taken over every detail of the design of this highly impressive backpack.

The Montane Grand Tour 70 L Backpack is manufactured using ultra-lightweight Raptor Zero fabric that provides an extremely lightweight yet strong and tough pack body. It also features formidable tear resistance plus a superb level of durable water repellency which encourages water to form droplets and to roll off the surface rather than penetrate the surface of the material.

Features such as water-resistant alternative entry zips and large external stretch mesh gear bellows are typical of the ways in which the Montane Grand Tour 70 L Backpack goes the extra mile to enable you to be as self-sufficient as possible and to be as comfortable as possible carrying a heavy load.
