Montane Gecko VP 12+ Black

Season:2024S C OFFER

Brand:Montane

What is the Gecko VP 12+?

The Gecko VP 12+ has been designed with hundreds of thousands of kilometres of feedback fed into it. It features 12 litres of space, most of which can be accessed when on the move, a selection of tough yet breathable fabrics and an ultra-secure fit.

What is it made of?

The Gecko is made primarily with Montane's Raptor Cross Lite 70D, a rugged yet lightweight fabric used across the range. Contact Air Mesh Plus is used throughout the harness to actively wick away sweat as you move. All materials have been treated with a Polygiene coating, preventing the build-up of nasty odours for the bag's lifetime.

Which back system does it use?

The Gecko fits more like a piece of clothing than a rucksack, so it doesn't have what you'd call a 'traditional' back system! The inner shoulder straps, the waist belt and the back panel all use the same Contact Air Mesh fabric and are all connected, creating a seamless feel next-to-skin. The pack sits higher and snugger than your usual walking pack, preventing it from moving around excessively during use. The weight inside the bag is spread out evenly via the wide shoulder straps, and the pack is kept still via two quick-release chest straps and a stretchy elasticated waist belt.

What are its features?

The main feature of this pack is the pocket configuration — almost all of the available pockets are placed so that you can access them while on the move. You've got two stretchy bottle pockets on the shoulder straps that house the Montane UltraFlasks. Two zipped pockets lower the shoulder straps for snacks, keys, etc., and four-way stretch fabric pockets for extra layers. For items, you don't need immediate access to, a zipped main compartment houses most of your paraphernalia. Your poles attach under the arms, so they are easy to access on the go, and all pockets have been cleverly designed to prevent stuff sloshing about if it's not full.

If all that storage isn't enough, an integrated bungee system is supplied, which can either be used to fasten extra kit to the outer of the pack or act as additional compression. This clever bungee system, coupled with the elasticated pocket design, means you could only have the pack half-loaded and barely notice a difference in stability.
