How does Mountainsmith celebrate its 40th anniversary? We stepped into our stretch pants, styled our mullets, pulled out our scrunchies and dug through decades of old workbooks, stories, and photos to narrow down our top two iconic 80s packs. Meet the Tour Classic. Because 80s gear is as much about neon ski bibs as it is about classic pack design. Originally built in the 80s, the Tour inspired the lumbar pack craze and years of pack innovation that would follow. From college campuses to day hikes in the mountains, it was designed as much for the everyday dirtbag as it was for the weekend warrior. Today, the limited edition Tour Classic returns in its original design. A true blast from the past, it is an authentic retro pack that's built to perform as well today as it did yesterday. So load up your gear, tighten up your waistbelts, and hit the ground running with the lumbar pack that started it all. With a tuckaway waistbelt and removable shoulder strap, the Tour Classic doubles as a lumbar pack and messenger bag for adventures on the trails or on the daily ride to the office. The limited edition Tour Classic also comes with the signature Mountainsmith 40th Anniversary Badge. All Mountainsmith products come with the Forged for Life Guarantee, the official Mountainsmith lifetime warranty.

Very versatile rucksack!
Quite versatile. Largest volume of MS lumbar packs. Can use with shoulder strap as messenger bag/cross chest carry. Good lumbar pack...able to carry more stuff, more comfortably than a belt pack. It's especially effective with Strapettes. Converts it to a rucksack with adjustable waist belt, padded shoulder staps and sternum strap. Carry up to 12 #. It's comparable to an Army rucksack...smaller than a day pack. I use it for second bag for carry-on luggage...not as tempted to over pack...easy to do. It will can carry 2x Nalgene .75 l or 2x1l Nalgene water bottles...I replaced .75 l snap cap with Humankind screwtape cover...slip adjustment stap in between screw top and bottle cover...voila, can't lose water bottle...water gets heavy! The old style bag has a front pocket that is much wider than the new style "sleeve"-like front pocket. I think the old style holds more stuff. In the main pocket is a smaller zippered pouch that you can put small objects...pens, flashlight, etc. There are 2 straps over exterior front pocket that will carry a shell On the new bag, the waist belt has a cellphone pocket but my Samsung Note 8 with Otterbox Defender cover doesn't fit.

Mountainsmith Quality and Great Pack
I use this as my ski pack. I had the original and love it, used it until it is almost un-usable. I was ecstatic that they brought this back. Love this pack.Pro: Perfect size for me as a ski pack.Cons: None. Should have bought 2 so I have a spare.

Great hipbag for day hikes and travel.
This is a replacement. I had the same bag for nearly 20 years but it fell off my cart two years ago and I’ve missed it for all my travels a day hikes. I use it fir caring all sorts of things - electronics, camera, sweaters. Etc.

Classic, Retro Design with the Latest Features
I've been using a classic, Cyclesmith Trailhead (Mountainsmith) lumbar pack for 25 years. I still use the pack almost daily to carry my tools, pump, a spare tube, nutrition, wallet, phone, keys, etc. on my bike rides. The Tour Classic is almost identical in every way to my 25 year old pack except that the Tour Classic added bottle holder pockets on each side, a Mountainsmith 40th Anniversary Badge and removable shoulder straps. The Tour Classic is also Strapette compatible (sold separately). The Tour Classic appears to be well made and it looks almost exactly like my old one (only clean and odor free). In summary, the Tour Classic has retro design with updated but improved features.

自転車リュックとして
これからの季節、自転車に乗るのに一枚多く羽織る物を持って行く時に使う予定。これをチョイスした理由は、ネット上で「肩、背中が涼しく、荷重位置がヒップで（strapettes使用）バランスが良い」とあったから…どうせなら一番軽いのがいいだろう！とこれを…で、機能は十分、でもペンホルダーとスマホポケット位は欲しかった。これに決める際悩んだのが色！全体の色が黒は似合って無い！と思う。グレーとか土色とか霞んだ青などがいいと思うのだか…この黒、質感もガッカリというか楽しくない。結果価格相応の満足感がなかった。他にチョイスのしよが無いから仕方なあか…

やはりこの形とデザイン！
1993年公開の映画「クリフハンガー」で山岳救助隊のハルとジェシーが使っていたバックパックのメーカー、マウンテンスミス。当時私はこの映画に影響され、バックパック「グランドツアー」のグリーンと、ウェストバッグの赤いのを買って10年以上使ったかな。この商品は、当時と少し配色や色味は違うが、懐かしさもあり40周年記念ワッペンも付いてるしで、ついつい買ってしまった。 バッグの上側を斜め下方向に腰に引きつけるベルトの存在が「腰で支える」マウンテンスミスっぽくていいところ。ある程度長時間腰に付けていられるアウトドアでのシチュエーション（散策、ツーリング）では本当に楽！！一方、頻繁にものを出し入れするようなタウンユースでは付属の斜め掛け肩ベルトに頼らざるを得ないが、ちょっと肩あてが小ぶりで幅が狭い。改良希望。 バッグの大きさはA4サイズの書類も少し端を折り曲げれば入るような感じ。気軽に出かける時に持って行くには容量は十分。ふとバッグを見たときにクリフハンガーの壮大なテーマ曲が脳内再生されるのもマウンテンスミスならでは。

類似タイプからの買い換え（残念ポイントが2点）
10年以上使用した類似タイプがボロボロになったため同サイズの色違いをと思い購入。改善されたと思える部分もあるがコストを削ったと思える部分もあり一長一短。内部のポケットの取付位置が変わったのは問題ないが、2層→1層になりサイズも小さくなったのが使い勝手としては✖️。背面のクッション部分に手を入れられなくなり隠しポケットとして使えなくなったのがかなり残念。

使いやすいバッグ
マウンテンスミス製のバッグを何タイプか持っていますが「ツアークラシック」はウエストに当たる部分が適当に柔らかく、使いやすいです。
