Worth every dollar — and then some

Took it on a four-day thru-hike in rainy weather. Light enough that I forget it's in the pack, until I need it. It does exactly what it claims to do, and that's becoming rare.

★★★★☆

Reliable performer that exceeded my expectations

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 ridge ramble last month.

Performs exactly as advertised

Picked this up before a desert overnighter and was instantly impressed. Setup was so quick I had time for a second coffee. I'll be reaching for this on every trip going forward.
