The Trail Force 20 is a product specifically designed for multi-day races where more gear needs to be carried. As as vest it is also a lightweight alternative to classic hiking backpacks with similar capacities and is far superior to a standard backpack when running or scrambling. Balance is one of the keys to stability and the Trail Force 20 has been carefully designed for optimal balance with the front pockets that hold both hydration and food as well as essential gear ensuring it does not bulk up the back of the pack. Pockets are intentionally positioned both on the inside and outside of the pack for optimal organisation and fast access to gear. The innovative pole carry system is derived from the X-press ski carry system on our ski mountaineering backpacks. It allows the poles  to be attached and removed without stopping or removing the pack. This system uses elastic cords that are fixed to the poles that can then be captured by a carabiner (included). Once the poles are clipped together, the carabiner gets clipped to a loop on the bak left side of the pack and then the tips get captured by the X-press strap on the right shoulder for a very secure and fast attachment.
