High Quality Gear

"I had to buy a few sizes to get the fit just right, as the straps do not adjust. That said, it feels great now that I’m dialed in. I wouldn’t want to overpack this bag as it might round out on the back, but as a quick adventure pack it is excellent. It has a specific use and it does it very well."

Want to love it . . .

"I want to love this vest. There are several reasons I can't . . . when loaded the fit is just a bit off (and I'm in the middle of the size window), the zipper pulls jingle (just a little, but you hear it), the water bottle pockets don't work well for bear spray nor do they easily allow bottles to get put back in (UD and Solomon don't have these issues), the zippered pockets are not quite right for storing a phone (and I don't have an iPhone Pro Max), and the pole storage is great - unless you want to store z-poles while on the move. Overall, the vest is well built, and functional - I'm sure these are little things for most, but 20, 30, 50, or more miles later annoyances become problems that get in the way of the objective."

Best Sub 30L Pack Ever

"Purchased for 120 Miles of Volcano Summits & UL Camping circuits on the East Coast. Great pack overall, I overloaded it and the straps near the shoulders overstretched, which is truly the only down side to this pack. Overall I would purchase time and time again. This is the best pack design for the sub 30L market. **Make sure to get your sizing correct. I've lost 15lbs in the last 2 Months and am back purchasing a M instead of a L. I'll still use the Large primarily in the winter with layering, but the M will likely fit Spring / Summer / Fall Better. My Current Size - 6'3 - 190lbs"

Bd 22 distance pack

"Great for day hike and fast packing. Wish it would come with bittle but good at evreything"

Multi-sport mission pack

"I slept on getting one of these sooner, but thankfully it was restocked just in time for an upcoming light and fast peak bagging mission. It carries gear comfortably and close to the body without bouncing whilst running. I love the z pole storage sleeves, and all the snack storage pockets on the shoulder straps. I've also used it for multi-pitch trad routes for carrying snacks, water, layer, and approach shoes. It is light, unobtrusive and does not impede movement. It carries small loads so well, I'm looking forward to use it for bikepacking and XC skiing and more."
