Infinity Corespun Canvas

• The Backcountry is built from Infinity Corespun canvas, a highly durable poly/cotton fabric
• The strength of the fabric is due to the composite yarn: a polyester core with cotton wrapped around it
• The composite yarn base provides superior strength and unequalled performance
• Once woven the fabric is treated with a wax based polymer for water resistance, anti-bacteria protection and UV stability

Moto Active Harness System

The Moto Active Harness System provides load bearing comfort for mid to high volume packs.

• Contoured Shoulder Straps: Shoulder straps map the curves of your torso and provide stability and comfort on the longest of walks
• Dual Vertical & Single Horizontal Hollow Core Stays:
  - Weight is transferred directly to the hip-belt via two hollow-core aluminium stays
  - Hollow-core stays are 20% lighter and 25% stronger than previously used extruded aluminium stays
• Multilayer Foam Hip Belt: Moto Active contoured hip-belt with 8 layer construction: open and closed cell foams, HTPE sheet and highly durable Cordura Nylon
• V-Ridge Foam: Stay cooler with the ventilated, non-moisture-absorbing, V-Ridge Foam back panel
• Single Point Adjustment: Adjust the back length with one simple change

Versatile Packing & Easy-Access Pockets

• The Backcountry is a dual compartment pack with access via the top and base
• Inside is a divider that can be zipped open to make a large single compartment
• On the sides of the pack are pleated canvas bottle pockets that are easily accessed even while wearing the pack

Cordura Nylon Reinforcement

• The base of the Backcountry Backpack is a dual layer consisting of Infinity Corespun Canvas inside and 980 denier Cordura Nylon outside
• Cordura Nylon is a highly abrasion resistant fabric

Canvas Bound Seams

• The Backcountry Pack is now more water resistant than ever thanks to Canvas binding on the seams

Water Bladder Compatible

• As with almost all Mont backpacks, the Backcountry Pack is water bladder compatible
• There is a bladder pocket inside the main compartment
• Bladder hose port above the backpanel that leads the hose to loops on either shoulder strap
