Mammut Alto 18 Backpack

An 18 L backpack for everyday use, with a detachable mesh pocket

Mammut's Alto 18 is an 18 L backpack suited to commuting and light day hikes. The fabric is ripstop with a water-repellent finish, and a detachable mesh pocket is attached to the front. The design was inspired by Mammut's mountaineering backpacks.

Features

• Capacity is 18 L. Actual measurements are about 30 cm wide, 46 cm high, and 8 cm deep.
• The fabric is ripstop (a weave with reinforcing threads that helps keep tears from spreading).
• It has a PFC-free (perfluorinated chemicals) durable water repellent (DWR) finish.
• The mesh pocket on the front can be detached, and there is a bottle holder on the side.
• It uses recycled materials and carries the bluesign PRODUCT label, which reflects consideration for the environment and safety, along with the Fair Wear label.

Recommended for

• Those who are looking for a backpack in the 18 L class for commuting to work or school and city walks
• Those who want a pack that can double for light day hikes
• Those who want to carry small items separately in the front mesh pocket

Pros and things to consider

Pros

• The water-repellent ripstop fabric suits outings on days with light rain.
• The mesh pocket is detachable, so on days you do not need it, you can take it off and keep the pack streamlined.
• With a slim depth of about 8 cm, it is designed to be less bulky when worn.

Things to consider

• At 18 L, the capacity is not enough for overnight mountain trips or days when you carry a lot.
• The fabric is water-repellent, so in heavy or prolonged rain the contents may get wet.
• At about 8 cm, the depth is slim, so thick items may be hard to fit.
