WHAT TRAIL RUNNING SAYS:

Testers were impressed that so many features were packed so cleverly into such a competitively priced pack, making it ideal for supported races and warmer weather runs, where a ginormous kit list isn't warranted:

"Tough and comfy, a workhorse of a small volume running vest."

WHAT THE ATHLETE SAYS:

Montane Athlete Jayson Cavill wore a Montane VIA Gecko Running Vest Pack when he won the 2019 Montane Lakeland 50. He likes the intuitive storage options, and its incredible load stability - just what you want when you run 50 miles in 7hrs 55mins!:

"The Gecko is such an efficient pack - it carries everything you need for your run so simply and securely it feels more like you're wearing another item of clothing instead of a pack."

DESIGN PERSPECTIVE
MATT KEMP – Product Manager for Equipment:

"Its foundation is the minimal, body hugging harness that keeps everything stable. Storage options for hydration, food and essential kit, all perfectly positioned for access on the move, means you have everything to hand when you need it."
