Raptor Flex 4-Way Stretch

Enhanced ease of movement is essential for a running pack that will enable you to go further on the trail. Engineered with a stretchy plain weave accommodates for any necessary pack expansion on the move, whilst minimising bounce. Durable abrasion resistance also makes this an incredibly robust mountain companion - able to withstand potential wear and tear on more adventurous trail runs.

POLYGIENE®. Permanent Odour Control.

Pushing yourself hard on the trail can be sweaty business! Luckily this Gecko running pack is treated with POLYGEINE, providing longer-lasting freshness on the move and a fast drying time. How does it work? POLYGEINE inhibits the growth of odour-causing bacteria, stopping smells at the source. All this means you can wear more and wash less. Not only is this good news for you, but it's also good news for the planet.

Excellent piece of kit (roomy, no bounce)
I purchased the Montane Gecko VP 12+ after being unsatisfied with the Salomon equivalent.
The stretch material makes the Gecko very spacious and I had plenty of room for more kit than I needed on a recent 50km trail ultra.
The front pockets are large enough to comfortably fit the largest mobile phones for easy access (I have a Samsung Galaxy Ultra) and there's no bounce with the pack or the water bottles.
My only feedback would be that the pole attachments are a bit fidly and so I think that future models would benefit from a quiver-esque functionality for easy storage.

Better than Adv12
This is a great pack. I previously had a Salomon adv 12 which was far inferior to this pack. This pack is far more robust and durable. I actually had 2 adv 12s and both had issues with fabric ripping, stitching coming undone and zips not working. The gecko is a great pack (which is probably due an upgrade) but holds loads of gear, fits really comfortably. I was worried about the velcro bit but that is fine, the chest straps are a little fiddly and don't always stay tight (these are what I'd upgrade) and I haven't had any issue with things coming out of the stuff pockets but again these could be upgraded but I'm clutching at straws. A great pack that is far superior to others out there.

Perfect race vest
Perfect for multistage, multi day racing where up to 12 hours were spent running on the Highlands.
So comfortable you forget it’s on. Loads of room for all mandatory equipment, food, hydration and medications which I can’t run without. Can highly recommend.
