Haglofs LIM Mountain Trail 25 Rucksack

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

A smart, minimalist pack that handles fast-paced mountain days with ease and just enough added comfort for longer hauls.

Haglofs says: 

A compact backpack for high-pulse hiking adventures. We designed it to be as minimalistic as possible while supplying the features you want when moving fast on the trail. It’s made out of a lightweight, water-resistant, and durable ripstop, with a highly adjustable construction for great carrying comfort. On the uphill journey, you’ll appreciate the spot for your hydration bladder and the molded back panel with 3D air channels that allow warm and humid air to escape. Pole attachment points and easy-access pockets make this pack especially handy in mountain environments.

Our Verdict

Light, tough, and built for movement, the Haglöfs L.I.M. Mountain Trail 25 strikes a careful balance between speed and substance.

TheL.I.M. Mountain Trail 25 impressed me straight away with its clean design and well-thought-out features. At just over 600g, including the rain cover, it keeps things light without skimping on usability. The 3D-moulded back panel feels like a real step forward, offering noticeably better ventilation on sweaty ascents, while still sitting close enough to stay stable at pace.

The 25-litre capacity spot on for longer day hikes where you need a little extra gear, and the stretchy front and side pockets are perfect for stashing a waterproof or snacks on the go. The hydration bladder sleeve and axe/pole loops are welcome touches that make the pack versatile across different conditions. The front zip pocket was tight when the main compartment was full, but it’s a minor quibble given the overall layout. While the hipbelt is quite minimal, it’s enough to add a bit of extra stability without getting in the way.
