Montbell Versalite Pack 40

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

 This is an incredibly light, packable rucksack that has features you would expect in a top-quality rucksack, with the added bonus it can be packed away into its own lid.

Montbell says: 

The lightest backpack in our pack lineup, exemplifies a no-frills ultralight experience ideal for thru-hiking and ultralite backpacking. The main body features a 30-denier Ballistic nylon rip-stop for a highly balanced strength-to-weight ratio. Ideal pack for hikers who want to shave off every ounce in their adventures.

Our Verdict

This is a rucksack that can be stashed into a small side pocket that can quickly be deployed when you need it.  A fantastic bag for travelling, as it can be used as and when it is needed, exploring local towns and markets, but also you have a fully functional day pack that can be used for any short hiking trips.  Its Hydration compatible, and even has a place to attach hiking poles.
