By boohiss from Minnesota on 09/15/2009 Pros: Easy To Set Up, Lightweight Cons: Collects Condensation, Flimsy Construction, Poor Fly Design Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This tent is a joke...the fly doesnt work, the seams ripped, and it couldnt hold up in the rain at all....it caved in and soaked us at 3am! We used this ten 3 times this summer and as long as it wasnt raining it was fine.
By Heatstroke Jenni from Indianapolis, IN on 08/10/2009 Cons: Collects Condensation, Leaks at seams, No airflow, No screens, Poor Fly Design Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: There is NO rear door. The "breathable mesh vent" is sewn over and there are NO screens, none. Therefore no airflow and it is HOT. We got sick. Where the middle poles connect to the tent bottom, water came in during a rainshower at the seams. The zipper broke on the bag and the front fly is very hard to zip. Poorly made tent and misadvertised.
Not enough screens, good in the rain By km from ct on 08/05/2009 Cons: Collects Condensation, Difficult To Setup Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: Not enough ventilation. Where there should be screens there are plastic windows. Great in rainy conditions
By outsider from NC on 06/10/2009 Cons: Flimsy Construction, Poor Fly Design, Poor stitching Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: My poles came with a broken elastic connector and my bag ripped when first opening the tent. Ventelation is bad. Unless you're looking for limited use, fork over more $ for a better tent that will last you and perform better.
Nice warm weather day pack. By ClimbingKatie from Maine on 06/09/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow, Highly Adjustable, Stable Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I wish the hydration pack held a 2 liter camelback rather than the 1 liter, however, the size of the bag is meant for more daytrips anyway. It is a very, very, comfortable and easy-to-adjust bag, and held all of the things I needed for a full day's climb.
By XR from Wyoming on 05/11/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Stable, Tough Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips, Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Well, updated review...the pack is better than I thought. Tough, comfortable adjustable blah blah blah. Again, can buy 5 of these for the price of that "premium label" on the competition...you do the math.
By edruns69 from Petoskey, Mi on 05/11/2009 Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: No, I would not recommend this to a friend Comments: This backpack is advertised as an hydration pack but it does not come with a bladder to put water in. Its useless!
Great Pack for Day Hiking By Outdoor Dabbler from Marlborough MA on 05/02/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Refill, Good Water Flow, Highly Adjustable, Stable Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Comfort Driven Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: This has been a great backpack for moderate to strenuous dayhikes. The hip and chest straps provided great stability during climbing and coming down steep inclines. The backpack is a great size for me and the hydration hose fit fine over my shoulder. The backpack was comfortable enough for me to carry all the water and other necessities needed for a 3-6 hour hike and I felt little or no pressure in my shoulders. Please note though that hydration hose did Not reach over my husbands shoulder, so if this is function you are looking to use you need to concider your size. The hose may not have a long enough reach for a medium to large size man but should be fine for a woman. Looking forward to using it for winter activities.
By Deb from BC Canada on 04/27/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Stable Best Uses: Day Trips, Extended Hikes, Running Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: Excellent value . This is an awesome pack for the money. Perfect size for day use - hiking, running, for just about anything! Very comfortable and seems very durable! Lots of pockets for organizing, and I love the color!
By fiji from Laramie Wy on 04/13/2009 Pros: Comfortable, Highly Adjustable, Large Capacity, Stable Best Uses: Commuting, Day Trips, Extended Hikes, Travel Describe Yourself: Casual Adventurer What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend Comments: I haven't used the hydration system. The questions above made it sound like it was supposed to have it. It didn't but I just wanted the capability for a hydration system I already have. I use the pack for school. It works quite well and feels distributes the weight well so my neck doesn't get messed up.
I love this pack and cant wait till summer so I can take it hiking.
