Montane VIA Fang 5

The VIA Fang 5 is ideal for training missions or done-in-a-day mountain trail runs. POLYGIENE® permanent odour control and an unrivalled stretch body fit allow you to wear, rather than carry your kit when moving fast.

Constructed using Raptor Ul, the Montane VIA Fang 5 is lightweight and strong. The attractive fabric construction is super durable and abrasion resistant, reducing the risks of tears and general wear; it is also super soft and has a 1000mm hydrostatic head to keep you protected during light showers. A CONTACT Flyte Mesh Air Back Pad is highly breathable and fast drying. Enhanced breathability allows cool air to flow through the garment whilst, at the same time releasing hot, humid air. It works to wick excess sweat and moisture away from the skin where it can be easily evaporated so you remain cool, dry and comfortable at all times. The fabric is also treated with Polygiene odour control which helps to prevent the build-up of bacteria which could cause odour and even damage to the garment. A Montane Freelight Chassis provides body-hugging load carrying comfort during movement over long distances. Front stretch hook and loop lower body adjustment enables chassis to grip the body whilst running and allow for unrestricted breathing during exertion and the chassis elasticity also allows the user's rib cage to expand freely for unrestricted breathing during exertion. A stretch harness strap ensures an adjustable fit, plus multiple attachment points allow you to customise the pack however you please. Two main zipped compartments are easily accessible whilst a multi-pocket configuration exists for all your storage needs; plus its compatible with montane soft flasks (not included). An external bungee compression system allows the pack to be compressed down or it can be used for additional storage space. Underarm pole attachments are handy for storing pole when not in use and a removable whistle accessory is a must for any race day.
