What is the Lithium 30L?
It's a 30-litre backpack designed with ample storage and organisation options to suit various adventures and multi-activity mountain days, whether a relaxed hike at the weekend or a more demanding tour. The Lithium 30 provides a more sustainable alternative to many backpacks, as it's made with recycled materials, which are bluesign® and Fair Wear approved.
What is it made of?
The pack is constructed with recycled polyamide, which has excellent wear resistance, strength and hardiness to tackle tough days in rough, tricky terrain when the weather is challenging.
The material is PFC free, making it much more sustainable than many standard fabrics on the market - as well as being recycled! PFC free means that no chemicals that would cause harm to the environment were used during the production process, making it a much cleaner method of manufacture.
The fabric and DWR are bluesign® approved, meaning they're manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
Mammut works with FairWear to ensure safe, ethical working conditions in their factories, helping to protect workers' rights and being considerate and sustainable with their processes.
What backsystem does it use?
The Lithium 30 uses a CONTACT U-Frame™ to improve load transfer, taking uncomfortable pressure off your back and helping the pack to balance more evenly. By doing this, the risk of injury is reduced and you're also less likely to be left with an achy back at the end of the day.
The CONTACT U-Frame™ also provides ample freedom of movement, allowing you to move without restriction on steep inclines and for more technical manoeuvres.
The carry system is well padded and ventilated for ultimate comfort on the trails. Shoulder pads are built from super lightweight, highly breathable EVA foam. The backpanel uses 3D EVA foam with air channels for maximum airflow around the pack's most significant contact point, so you can wave goodbye to nasty sweat patches. Lateral compression straps help reduce the bulk of the load when the bag isn't full, helping to stop contents inside from wriggling around and putting you off balance as you're on the move.
What are its features?
For storage, there's a main zip compartment alongside a large front zipper pocket and an additional large front stretch pocket for carrying bulky items like a map or extra layer. A flap with external and internal pockets and a subtle key pocket keep your valuables safe when out in the hills.
Two mesh side pockets make room for airing out damp bits of kit or can hold water bottles instead of having them take up all the space inside the pack... In simple terms, this pack has a shed load of pockets!
The hipbelt also offers plenty of storage for smaller items you may want to access quickly without taking the whole pack off - a fold-out cellphone pocket and a small zip pocket, to be precise. These pockets are perfect for stowing away a cheeky trail snack or energy gels, alongside your mobile or a GPS for longer adventures.
Speaking of the hipbelt, it's constructed in a forward pull style for easy adjustment when the pack is mounted. It's padded and detachable, a bonus for those who might prioritise weight or simply for those who don't like using a hipbelt.
If you're a fan of trekking poles, you're in luck! The Lithium has specialised trekking pole attachments to carry poles when they're not in use. The integrated, detachable rain cover offers some built-in protection which is convenient and a little more wallet friendly, as there is no need to splash the cash on an additional cover.
The Lithium is hydration compatible, so it works well for longer hikes and those who prefer hydration systems instead of using bottles.
