Genuinely impressed after a full season

I've owned cheaper alternatives and this is night and day. Build quality is exactly what I'd hoped for at this price. Worth the upgrade after my shoulder-season camp last month.

Great trail companion with one or two niggles

I've owned cheaper alternatives and this is night and day. It survived a few drops and a tumble down a slope without complaint. Worth the upgrade after my four-day thru-hike last month.

Worth every dollar — and then some

Used this on a alpine traverse and it performed beautifully. Light enough that I forget it's in the pack, until I need it. Setup is easy, and it packs down small enough that I never think twice about bringing it.
