A full array of pockets offer symmetrical, intuitive use that keeps you organized without ever wondering which pocket holds what.

While many daypacks seem to have their own fit that feels as small as the bag, the Juno is as secure and well-fitted as a full backpack. The shoulder harness and hip belt are made with BioStretch materials, die cut EVA foam and stretch fabrics so they flex and move with your body for un-restricted movement when scrambling, climbing and trekking. With the aforementioned 7 exterior pockets and the front-loading design, keeping the contents of the pack organised is as easy as it gets.

Montane's new lightweight hill and mountain pack treads the thin line between weight saving and usability with assured flair. Remember that your hips carry most of the weight of the pack, so this should be firm but comfortable. To balance these variable uses, we factored in the comfort rating as a quarter of each model's overall score. Attached to the backpack and mesh on the back of your pack, the belt wraps around your hips and holds the pack firmly in place with the oversized buckle on the front of the hip belt. They are perfect for holding any of your quick-access items, such as phones, compass, snacks, or gloves.
