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 improved breathability, ample freedom of movement, and a secure fit. The sleek, agile 28-liter version includes a lid 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, which provide greater evaporation per cm² than 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, ensure 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 area, 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, helping you sweat less and allowing for 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 den ripstop nylon and is a SALEWA® Committed product.

Rank 5 out of 10outdoorRucksäcke mit 25 bis 35 Liter im TestReleaseApril 2025

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...
