Product Reviews and Questions
The best lightweight bag
I love this bag so much. When I saw that the total weight was half the amount of my traditional backpacking bag, I was ready to make the change. I’ve hiked over 150 miles with this bag so far, and I love it. You have to be organized, but I’m a bag lady and already use stuff sacks for everything. The biggest challenge has been when there has been rain or fog. I keep my sleeping bag at the bottom of the bag, and with bad weather you have to be good about managing moisture inside your bag. I did get the large stuff sack for my sleeping bag for those situations. You can fit a ton of stuff inside your bag (for better or for worse). I haven’t felt limited with space or organization. The roll top gives you the ability to make the bag smaller if you wanted to use the bag as a day pack. If you’re on the fence about it, I would say it’s worth making the change. I used the sizing tool, and feel like my bag is perfect for me. I’m 5’5” and got the size small.

Amazing pack!! Durable and waterproof. Would buy again
Perfect
I borrowed one last year on an New Zealand alpine hunting trip, I knew I needed one of my own.
Light. tough and has lots of capacity, Swallowed up gear for a week in the mountains, then packed small enough for a day pack once camp was set up. Outside pockets and straps perfect for scope and tripod, waterproof - which was welcome and as comfortable on my back as my heavily padded Tatonka. A simple well thought design with nothing you don't need. A do it all pack. I might even get a smalled one too!
Awesome pack
Love it!
Next Level
Southwest is the perfect pack!!
