Monowalker loadbag XTR LB 40 backpack

Features:

• MOLLE belts on the right and left accommodate additional pouches with a MOLLE system
• Optional: Magnetically closing adapters can be combined with pouches with a MOLLE system, which you can intuitively attach and detach in seconds, even in the dark.
• Two additional rear pockets with waterproof zippers hold quickly accessible gear.
• A zippered mesh pocket and a slip pocket divide the interior of your backpack.
• An externally accessible rain cover protects against even the heaviest downpours.

The Monowalker XTR LB 40 bag can be rolled up and always taken with you, and unfolds its full potential when attached to the Monowalker SL-X Carbon Packframe. When attached to the Monowalker SL-X Carbon Packframe, the XTR LB  40 sits above the hip belt and can thus be used in combination with the Monowalker Fatmate. To keep the Monowalker handle length compact, the 40L pack sits higher so that it doesn’t collide with the Monowalker Fatmate frame. If the 40L backpack is used without the Monowalker Fatmate, a sleeping mat or tent can be attached to the hip belt.

A waterproof cover protects your gear from heavy rain.

Carbon – developed for extreme loads

Carbon fiber composites were originally developed where maximum strength at minimum weight is crucial: in aviation and cycling sport

The fiber structure of modern high-performance fibers, such as the T700 carbon used in the Monowalker Packframe, achieves tensile strengths of around 4,900 MPa.**

But the decisive advantage lies not only in its strength. Carbon possesses exceptional specific stiffness – that is, stiffness relative to its weight. This means you get the structural stability of a solid frame – at a significantly lower weight. The Monowalker Carbon Packframe is 40% lighter than a comparable aluminum construction of a classic aluminum packframe.

The underestimated advantage: vibration damping

Aluminum frames (whether used in backpacks or as pack frames) transmit vibrations almost unfiltered.Carbon, on the other hand, consists of a composite of fibers and a resin matrix that processes mechanical energy differently. Micro-vibrations – which occur when walking over scree, roots, or steep descents – are partially absorbed.

The result is only noticeable after many hours in the field:

• less fatigue in the shoulders and hips
• more stable load distribution
• smoother carrying experience

This difference becomes particularly apparent with heavy loads or on uneven terrain.

** Carbon facts about our carbon frame

T700 carbon fiber is a very common, high-strength carbon fiber used in aerospace engineering, originally developed by the Japanese company Toray Industries. It belongs to the so-called standard modulus high-performance fibers, which offer a very good balance of strength, stiffness, and cost.

What does “T700” mean?

The designation T700 is a material class within Toray’s carbon fibers. It describes a fiber with specific mechanical properties, in particular:

What does 4,900 MPa tensile strength mean?

 MPa (megapascal) is a unit of mechanical stress.

1 MPa = 1 million newtons per square meter

A tensile strength of 4,900 MPa means:

➡ The fiber can withstand 4,900 million newtons per square meter before it breaks.

For comparison:

Carbon fibers can therefore achieve more than 5 to 10 times the strength of metal, at a significantly lower weight.
