Mountainsmith Tour Classic-Heritage Red (19-10046-02)

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.

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.

Very large interior and multiple pockets. great bag

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.
