Does what you need it to do.

"Fairly lightweight, easy to handle. I do wish you could clip two carabiners into the bottom, but not a big deal."

Ergonomic and easy to use

Kris M. (4/5)

All the features you need in a nice light package

"Impressed with this design. Nice and light, makes it easy to go up and work on tough cruxes or get some photos of your friends. The handles might be on the small/uncomfortable side of things if you're doing a lot of jugging in a day but for my use cases it's perfect."
