Made for alpine missions from huts to high-altitude tours, Salewa sends its overworked Mountain Trainer 28 into the race. Striking: the orange-coloured, highly structured back panel with many cut-outs. Although it doesn't evaporate any better than the other contact backs in the test field, it hardly absorbs any moisture and dries quickly, for example during breaks...

Product details
The Mountain Trainer 2 is designed for hiking tours and via ferratas, featuring a body-hugging Dry Back carrying system and split shoulder straps for enhanced breathability, ample freedom of movement, and a secure fit. The sleek, agile 28-liter version includes a top pocket and an easily accessible front pocket.
The Dry Back Contact carrying system ensures that the load is carried close to the body while keeping your back dry. This is achieved by reducing the contact area and incorporating 3D ventilation channels that promote greater evaporation per cm² compared to traditional designs and lower the temperature in the middle back area. The two-part compression system and a hip belt that fully wraps around the hips, equipped with an additional gear loop for via ferrata carabiners and a mesh pocket, guarantee that the backpack fits well and distributes the load optimally.
For added stability and improved control, our Twin Compression System (TCS) features an upper and lower compression zone, allowing for easy volume adjustment. This way, you can always stabilize the load centrally. The lightweight split shoulder straps provide your arms with plenty of freedom of movement and further reduce the contact area, resulting in less sweating and better air circulation.
This backpack is made for the mountains: it offers attachment options for ice axes and trekking poles, a rain cover, easily accessible mesh side pockets, daisy chain loops, a pocket integrated into the hip belt, and other functional details. The Mountain Trainer 2 is made using sustainable production methods from robust, recycled 210 denier ripstop nylon and is a SALEWA® Committed product.
