Ready for a weekend of backpacking or extended trips if you're packing light. The Gregory jade 53 litre women's pack. Is perfectly balanced between light. Weight features and all of those other. Features that you're looking for organization and a pack that's going to. Carry a heavy load comfortably now. Unlike extended trip packs where they've. Got heavy features this has really. Stripped-down features lightweight materials those materials are also very durable and strong and the suspension. System here really gives you the ability. To carry the load so I'm going to turn the pack around and talk about the suspension system I've got Gregory's cross flow dts suspension system and. Again it's pretty lightweight it gives. You a lot of ventilation with this. Tension back panel you can see all of that mesh there and i can put my hand. Behind it so you know that you've got all the ventilation that you need behind the scenes there you can see a cross pattern for the frame that is a. Lightweight spring frame and what i like. About that is it gives the rigidity that you need in the pack to give stability and to transfer the weight of the load to your hips but it will move with you. Because it's the cross pattern it will flex a little bit as you move so this pack doesn't feel boxy it feels like as you move going up and down hill it's. Going to move with you and then you as well. Have behind the scenes a hdpe frame sheet that gives rigidity to but it's. Nice and lightweight now you have a va. Foam where you need it there on the lumbar pad it's a really comfortable lumbar pad and then behind the shoulder. Straps you have die cut foam that foam. Keeps you comfortable and unlike lightweight or ultra light. Weight backpacks this foam gives you plenty of cushioning so really. Comfortable cushioning on the shoulders and a lot of cushioning on the hip belt and the hip belt does have a little bit of rigidity to it too so it definitely carries the load well now. Obviously you've got your load lifter straps up here that give you some adjust ability this comes in three different sizes so you can't actually adjust the harness up and down but you. Can use the those load lifters to dial in the fit and just choose the. Particular size that's right for your. Torso in addition to the adjust ability. There you do have an adjustable sternum straps you can move that up and down. While I'm on the back of the pack you do have a hydration sleeve inside the pack. You can route the hydration hose out through the middle here and you even. Have a little catch here for the hose on. This side now the hydration system itself isn't included, but they do give. You this smaller pack this can be hung. Inside of the backpack as the sleeve for. Your hydration system but you can as well. Take it out and use it as a summit pack you've got really lightweight and stretchy straps here so those are comfortable the material here is nice. And lightweight so it doesn't add a lot of weight to the actual pack but you can use this as a day pack if you're just. Summoning a peak you can use this to. Take some stuff with you or if you're traveling and you're just going out for the day that you can throw some essentials in this pack there's daisy chain attachments on the front a small zippered pocket there on. That pack so it's a really nice feature. That again doesn't add a lot of weight to the pack that adds a lot of value the. Pockets and organization are streamlined. And simple but it gives you all the. Organization you need on the front of the hip belt you have nice big pockets i. Can see these accommodating any size smartphone you can see this mesh pocket. Here stretches out really big you could put a small camera in there or something like that so really good size pockets. There and then on the lid you have the access into the. Back I've got a first aid kit in their so items you want to get your hands on quickly or lightweight items can be. Stored up there on the side of the pack. You have two very stretchy meshes pockets big enough to accommodate any size water. Bottle I've got a 32 ounce water bottle. In there and it fits well you've even got a compression strap on the front so you can compress that down and if you're. Just going on an overnight or a short trip you've got compression straps all over this pack to make the load a little bit smaller you have a full-size lid here. And you can store lots of gear in there so then that gives you access into the. Body of the pack there's even a small hidden pocket back here and that's a. Great feature for travel you've got really easy access into the top of the pack with a nice big opening that's. Really easy to use and i found that this. Pull handle is really nice as well so there're little attentions to detail make. A big difference it's all the access you need into that big pocket then you do. Have access in a couple more areas so. Something i really appreciate about this pack you have a nice big u-shaped zipper. Here where you can access all the gear. That you need that's in the middle of your pack it's tucked away back here so. It doesn't add a lot of weight to the pack but as you can see i can open that. Up nice and wide almost like a piece of luggage and get to all the gear that's in the middle of the pack so i can grab for whatever i need if you're traveling. With this pack taking it overseas you can use it like that so really nice almost hidden pocket there. And then down on the bottom you have access into a sleeping bag compartment down there these zipper poles are so. Easy to use, and they make it nice and easy to get to the bottom now there is a. Divider in between the bottom and the. Middle of the pack but you can tuck that away if you need full access into the whole pack now also behind the scenes there is a. Hidden rain cover the rain cover is. Custom fit for the pack and it's in its own designated pocket right here so rain cover matches the pack and it. Adds a lot of value so you don't have to purchase a separate rain cover in the. Front a nice stretchy dump pocket too and then as you can see all over the. Front of this pack you've got two loops you've got straps here that you can. Attach a sleeping pad this is actually removable and you've got trekking pole bungees up here so there's plenty of. Features here you can use this pack in a lot of different ways but all of those. Features don't add a lot of weight to the pack, but they add a lot of organization and with all the features that you get here it's a really great value it would work in a lot of. Different situations from a quick overnight to a weekend to traveling overseas it's the Gregory jade 53 women's. Backpack. You.

These are the black diamond women's trail ear go quarks trekking poles and. It's easy to see why these are such a great value they're really easy to use. They're pretty lightweight and slightly different from standard poles you'll see out there because they give you a 15. Degree corrective angle in the grip this is a more natural position for your wrist especially on flat and when you're. Going down hills the grip is a really. Comfortable natural cork it's really soft on your hands and actually wicks away sweat below that though you do have. An extended grip which is eba foam when. You reach us at an uphill or maybe off camber trail instead of making micro adjustments to. The actual trekking poles here you can. Grab this grip at just a different spot and continue on your way you can also pawn the top of the pole. Because it's got a flatter wider top and. Sometimes when I'm hiking on steep downhills I'll actually take my hands out of the strap and either get a thumb. On the top or just palm the top to get a. Little bit more braking power as i go down and the strap here is nice and. Cushioned it's comfortable it's completely adjustable and it's a really wide strap these poles are in three. Sections which makes them incredibly adjustable to a perfect length these two. External locks couldn't be any easier to adjust you just flip them open adjust it. To the right height we've got markings on there and then flip it closed they. Adjust from about 100 centimeters up to. 125 centimeters and I'm about five six i. Use pulled around 115 centimeters just. For reference now at the bottom the. Poles come to carbide flex tips down at. The end this piece actually protects the. Rest of the poles because if it gets. Caught between two rocks it flexes slightly as opposed to the aluminum. Shaft sections here that might bend or even break if it gets caught between rocks this tip can stand up to a lot. More force and it's replaceable so it's. Much easier to replace this piece on the tip rather than the entire pole it seems like a small. Feature but it provides a lot of longevity so you can get years and years of use out of these outstanding poles now the very end of the tip here is. Actually threaded so you can purchase more permanent rubber tips that actually. Screw into the ends you can get a rubber. Tip protector that kind of goes over top. Of all of that kind of like a bootie so. If you'll often want to interchange from carbide to rubber tip you can actually purchase the rubber tip protector that goes over top all of those are sold. Separately the trekking basket however. Gives you a lot of location in mud or in soft dirt, and they actually come with. Snow baskets so if you need more flotation and snow you can take these off and replace them these weigh in. Right around a pound for the pair and you'll be hard-pressed to find such a. Feature-rich set of poles at the same price point there was a black diamond women's trail ergo cork trekking poles thanks for. Watching if you have additional questions about the gear you just saw please feel free to visit that country edge comm and get in touch with me or. One of our other gear specialists we.

The durable easy to use and cost friendly black diamond trail trekking. Poles are perfect for backpackers or hikers that are looking for a pole. That's going to do a lot that's going to be very durable and is not going to break the bank this is a three section. Telescoping trekking pole so you've got. Three shaft sections here and you've got. To flick locks so you can adjust the. Trekking poles flick locks are really easy to use they're external locks and. All you have to do is flick it open with. Your thumb adjusts the pole to the proper. Length and flick it closed so really. Easy to use design a really durable design there and you also have durable. Aluminum construction so these are. Really durable for their weight just. Taking a look at all the features of the poles up here at the top you have dual density foam grips and the thing i love. About foam grips on trekking poles is in. Warmer weather if your hands get sweaty this really wicks away the sweat and in. Colder temperatures you can't feel that cold through the foam grips they're as well. Really easy to grip with gloves on so for all seasons foam grips are really. Great you have an extended grip here so. This is normally where you would kind of. Grab the grip there but all the way down here you've got different points where you can grab onto the pole so if you're. On uneven terrain or if you're going. Uphill and just need to kind of grab the pole at a different spot it's really easy to use there and also you have kind of flat top on this grip so you can. Even palm the top of this and i can see that being pretty comfortable as well the strap here is a really nicely padded. Strap and black diamond makes it really. Easy to adjust so all you have to do is. Pull that out adjusts it to the proper. Height and just kind of cinch that down. And that really takes pressure off of your wrists when you're hiking with poles it's a wider strap than on some. Other poles that I've seen so that really takes a lot of pressure off it's. A really comfortable strap going down to. The tips you've got black diamonds flex. Tech tips and the great thing about these tips is that if you were to get. The trekking poles stuck between two rocks or in a position that might damage. The trekking poles these tips are meant to break first before the actual trekking pole this is a replaceable piece so it's press fit onto the bottom. You can after years of use you can. Replace the tips and this also happens. To have a little tech tip on the bottom. So you can choose to purchase that other. Rubber tip separately and trade them out they don't come with the trekking poles but that is a feature that you can trade with these poles you have a low profile. Basket that's included with these poles and you can take this basket off and replace it with a winter basket black. Diamond happens to include the winter baskets with these poles so this tip is just threaded you can unscrew the. Smaller basket and put this one on and vice versa so these extra baskets add a lot of value to the poles i mentioned that this. Is a telescoping pole so the usable. Length you have with these poles is 25. Inches all the way up to 55 inches so. You have a really wide range of adjust ability there and in centimeters. 63 centimeters all the way up to a. A Hundred and forty centimeters so for. People of different heights or if you're just hiking on uneven terrain and you. Need to make minor adjustments those flick locks are really gonna allow you to make those adjustments really easily. Again perfect pole for someone who's. Hiking or backpacking looking for a cost-effective pole but that offers a. Lot of features and is really easy to. Use the black diamond braille trekking poles

So I'm going on a section hike through. The appalachian trail next month paint up some new gear and kind of looking at some of the new features they're putting on some of the stuff and i thought this would be kind of worth a review at least i picked out as probably most commonly. The black diamond trail back trekking poles it is a aluminum three-piece design i. Think for this dimension what does it. Say 63 to 140 centimeters these come in. At 562 grams or 19.8 ounces they're kind. Of the budget black diamond poles but i. Really got this for durability use and i. Didn't want to get financially too. Invested in some carbon poles that i might break as I'm gonna be using these for my shelter but the interesting thing. About this as I'm sure a lot of you know they you know black diamonds use this flick lock design a lot easier and way. Better than that screw and style overlap. That you'll get in a lot of more entry-level pools this is kind of nice and a much easier way to adjust the. Height if you're especially using it on. A hike that you're gonna be using for your shelter i think that's just the way. Better design to go with but kind of one. Of the reasons i picked it the other interesting thing is the at least doing. Some price comparison on the top it's a rubber handle they've got a fully adjustable strap and it's its actually. Webbed in here it's not just a nylon hand extension strap that i thought. Was kind of nice it's a sea at this price point it's kind of nice to see that it's fully it's fully padded the. Other interesting thing too was it does have this grip extension that runs down the bottom of the handle grip itself and. This is a kind of cool part it I'm. Pretty sure this is an levee a style foam which is what poly ethylene vinyl. Acetate but it's a pretty high quality. Foam it's not something you'd find on something that's very inexpensive the manufacturer very durable pliable under temperature that. Fluctuates from being very cold it's uh it's pretty hydrophobic you'll see this kind of stuff on like gym floors and. Martial arts studios stuff like that they'll you use this padding on there because it's resistant to chemicals oil that kind of thing so it's nice to see that's all they'll add they added this onto it at least as an extension grip. But the poles like itself come with a. Kind of performance basket here and. That's what they call it does have a flex tip this is not the carbide tip. It's of course removable but it does. Kind of have a nice concave point to it. It's gonna be good enough for what I'm gonna be using it for but at least a at. Least nice to know that you can upgrade it when you're looking for something a little bit different or if these get worn out you can go to the carbide tip so i could get to get some good use out. Of these I'm excited to use them on the trail haven't had much experience with. The black diamond poles but some. Interesting features that they added.

Okay how about a review of the black. Diamond trail flick lock polls if you. Like polls are not don't matter i guess there're pros and cons to taking them or leaving them home either way the black diamond trail is a pretty decent little poll and I'll show you why this poll features the comes with the. Powder basket as well as the little. Trail baskets like this if you buy the. Black diamonds that are less expensive though a lot of them will just come like this with the little trail basket just something to be aware of these have the carbide tip it's round it tends to get a. Really good bite in the ice. I like these quite a bit one of the. Things that one of the reasons to pick the black diamond was that they had the. Flick locks the flick locks are really nice and that they tend to hold really well they're easy to adjust, but they. Still, they won't they won't slide until you get a huge amount of pressure on them if they do a lot of times what will. Happen is they need a bit of adjustment there's a phillips head screw here that you can increase the tension just slightly but after a couple of minutes. You'll get it figured out exactly what you need these particular polls are a three-piece if you take them all the way. Down you're going to get this big just. So you're aware I'll get the measurement in an annotation this particular poll set the. Black diamond trail has a couple of things it's got a nice wide wrist strap. Here I'll show you the thing i like about this wrist strap is basically but. I don't like having something real heavy. Wrapped around my wrist i like being able to get into and out of it pretty easy and so this wrist strap because it's nice and wide lets you actually push on these and get quite a bit of power into them without having a real heavy grip on the pole you can use just your hands you'll see let's see if you. Can see this in the video you can see these do have a little bit of flex to them these aren't going to be as sturdy as say as a one-piece cross-country. Ski pole these don't have the. This tool, and so they're not going to be quite so rigid nevertheless they're strong enough for most of what you need as far as a trekking pole or maybe a ski. Pole depending on how you're skiing what you're doing anyway the other thing the back that the. Trail model features is this neoprene. Grip right here one of the things that this is really nice for is just because when you change from a downhill to an uphill or if you change your speed sometimes it's nice to have a little bit different length to pull and so this right here rather than happen to stop and change your poles readjust settings. On the pole this lets you just choke down on the pole a little farther and so especially for some of the up and down a little bit of hilly cross-country type stuff this is real nice if you use these. Poles like this it this would go for this as well as any of the other four. Adjustable poles if you keep a set like. This they're on i don't know if i mentioned there are pound 4 ounces or just shy that 19 and 3/4 ounces on my. Scale this isn't much weight just to have around you can throw it on your pack or you can throw it in the trunk so if you're going for say a cross-country. Ski this is a real nice set of poles so. That you can just have basically a loner pair ok somebody else forgets there's. This can keep them going without ruining their trip even if you've got somebody. That's smaller statured doesn't matter you can still adjust it for them the flick locks so far have done really well. In the cold i haven't really used them in wet and mud, but they tended to hold their adjustment really well that's. About it if you're looking for a set of poles the black diamond trail seems to be a real nice model that's the basic. Things i like about it i really have no major complaints as far as they go. There're lighter poles but you're you're going to be sacrificing a little bit in the way of the wall thickness of the aluminum and some strength that's about. It takes a look and see what you think have a nice day.

Protection so when you have anything like your backpack or you have it stored somewhere you know this won't you know do any games to whatever you have around it this is three for this one down here. Three telescoping ends here already got. This one out this is a moon shaft and. This has to flick locks just like i said. Flick that open and then snap it down. This is a lot better than those screw types that are a lot of poles and. Those things get messed up plus you know once you really put some force on there those things like the slide so these right here once you get that locked in this is not moving if you need to adjust the tightness on this chute right here you can use a phillips screwdriver or a flathead screwdriver. This has pork grips which i. Really like it absorbs all the sweat and everything usually when you have the foam type or the plastic you know they get all kind of like mucky and sweaty and it's. Just the grips not very good then you have a lower foam extension here these. Are fusion straps and then on each one. Of these as you can see i don't know if i got it in there or not but there's a i pull this down there's a left and a. Right and to adjust these just pull on. The top and then just pull this little. Tab down and when i found it from some. People that when i was on the black diamond video you don't want to come up. Above and put your arm down and grab it. Like this because if you happen to fall down see how your hand gets kind of stuck there you're not gonna be able break your fall so you want to come from underneath and grip the pole so if you. Fall see how your hands-free like that so that's a good safety tip there on the. Pole itself you can see all the numbers. There for the top half and then I'll. Flick this and just extend that out so. There's all the all your numbers and centimeters and one thing about these is. These won't rub off some of these guys have had these poles for three and four years and the numbers you can actually still see them so i guess they're like maybe lasered on there or something i think I'm not really sure but that's how. That is and then how you want to set it. Up after you get your link down you want your armor on if i can get in the footer but you want basically a 90 degree angle there on your elbow all right so i hope you like these. Again are the black diamond trail ergo cork trekking poles and I'll leave. Some links at the bottom alright and on. That note traveler oh i think i. Swallowed a bug on that note traveler. Out.

got just enough features with a comfortable and technical suspension system that's going to keep you comfortable on the trail all day long it's the Gregory women's sula 18 liter

We're taking a closer look at the leakey micro vario to core tech lady trekking. Poles these are an excellent option for. Someone who's looking for a collapsible. And lightweight pole that also has a lot of features and is great for travel. Hiking backpacking and anything else you. Can throw at it the standout feature and. The thing i want to talk about first with these poles is just the collapse. Ability so this isn't your traditional. Telescoping pole where all the segments kind of go inside of each other and telescope down this is truly a collapsible pole so as you can see there. Is a central cord that runs through each. Of the sections here and it's very durable but once you set the pole up the. The pole is very strong so again the. Collapsible length collapses down really small easy to throw in your pack in your. Luggage if you're traveling if you're not using the poles during a particular. Part of your hike you can either lash them to the outside or just throw them right inside the pack so setup is it's. Pretty simple once you get the hang of it again you have that central cord that. Runs through the sections and the first. Think i do is i attach the sections it. Almost reminds me of the way a tent pole is structured so each of the segments. Lock inside of each other and the second. Think you want to do is find the two. Separate sections here up towards the top of the pole you want to. Separate them and once you have pulled. Then far enough you will hear a positive click and a little button will make itself known they're the first couple. Times you do it might feel like you have to pull on that a little bit harder than you would like but that's just to get a very secure hold so once i do that. I pull it. And you have a positive click now all of. The pole sections are securely connected. To one another this is an adjustable. Pole so unlike some other collapsible. Lightweight poles like this it's not. Fixed length you can definitely adjust. From 100 centimeters all the way up to. 120 so you do have a lot of versatility. With this pole and you don't have to. Worry about not getting the correct fit. For your height to adjust the pole right. Now i have it set at its lowest usable length which is 100 centimeters but it's. Really easy to adjust with leakey speed. Lock so in order to adjust it all you. Have to do is open the lock adjust it to. Your preferred height I'm gonna adjust it all the way up to 120 centimeters and. When you do that it just it stops here at the top so you know you're at its highest point and then close the lock. With your thumb it's as easy as that there's no twisting no turning it's just. Open and closed leakey uses their argon. Grips for this pole which is a really. High-quality argon ama comfortable. Handle they definitely don't skimp there. So really great handle on there and. You've got a an extended grip here so if. You want to grip the pole at a different. Height while you're hiking you don't have to make those minor adjustments you don't have to make the adjustments as often if you know just want to grab. The pole at a different height along. With that and on the air gan grip you have an egg-shaped top so if you want to. Have your hand on top of the pole you want to palm the pole it really fits. Nicely into the palm of your hand and has some dimpling there and some resistance so it's really easy to grip the top you also have a really. Soft nice woven strap here and it's. Really easy to adjust for your height take the pressure off of your wrists. With a strap so to adjust this all you. Do is pull up on the top portion of the. Strap you can make it longer or shorter. And then just pull down on the top and. It locks in it's a really comfortable lightweight soft straps they're going. Down to the tip of the trekking pole leakey uses their carbide flex tips and what this means is that there is a. Carbide end it's very durable it's the part that comes into contact with the ground and gives you traction and it. Does come standard with a small performance basket so this is you know definitely a lightweight design come standard on this type of pole but if you. Want to use one of like use other snow. Baskets this is removable so you can. Screw that off and put a bigger basket. On if you choose the important thing to. Now about the carbide flex tips by. Leakey is that this section of the pole in the unlikely event that your pole. Gets stuck between rocks or is put in a position that might seriously damage. Your trekking pole this part is meant to. Break away first it's a lot easier to. Replace the trekking pole tip than it is. To replace your trekking poles altogether so this is a replaceable part. It's also helpful to know that you know. If you use your poles for many years and you do want to replace the tips this is a replaceable part and you. Can get a replacement for it. Leakey does include a lightweight stuff. Sack so when you collapse your poles down you can store them safely inside this is really convenient for travel or. Just for storage all in all this is a. Really great multifunctional pole you've. Got that durable aluminum cans struction the collapsible lengths of the. Poles makes them easy for travel and you've just got a lot of features all in. One pole it is the leakey micro vario ti. Core tech lady trekking poles.

These are the lakey women's micro vario core tech ta trekking poles they fold. Down for easy travel and are versatile. For hiking backpacking and trail running if you've used hiking poles in the past. But thought they were cumbersome or if. You're ready to upgrade to high end lighter weight poles these could be the perfect option for you let's check them. Our first i want to show how easy they. Are to set up your goal here is to put. The segments together and tighten the central cord so all sections are firmly. Connected it's important to notice two. Mechanisms this is like ease speed lock lever and it makes height adjustments to. The poles and this is the lake ya's pld. Push button locking device that holds. The sections together once they're set up you won't see this button until all. Sections are locked into place okay from. A folded position hold the grip and let. The other pieces hang be sure the speed. Lock is closed and find the pole section. That is concealed in the upper segment pull down on that section to reveal it. You can put the two lower sections. Together one by one or you can set them. Up all in one motion because they will slide together as you pull down on that concealed section you will know the. Central cord is fully tensioned when you hear the distinctive click and see the. Silver button the first few times you. Try it you may need to tug a little harder than you think you should the whole process looks like this. Now you're ready to make the height. Adjustments with the external lock just open the lever with your thumb adjust to. The preferred height and push it closed I'm five six and i use poles at about. 115 centimeters these are women's. Specific poles so the adjustment range is perfect for me laiki made it super easy to fold back. Down this silver button loosens that. Central cord so you can fold them again i find it helpful to tug these two. Sections apart to make it easier to press the button to conceal that first shaft section back up into the grip now. That cord is loosened so you can fold. The two lower sections if the length is. Still set to what it was while you were hiking just lower it to the bottom and store them in the carry bag the shaft sections. Are made of aluminum for durability the. Kortek grip at the top is ergonomic and. Has a lot more shape than most of the. Lightweight folding trekking poles I've seen on the market these are called the aragon compact grips, and they're sized. For smaller hands the egg-shaped top is. Perfect for palming when going downhill and the extended length means you do not. Have to make time-consuming adjustments to the height while going uphill the strap is adjustable and soft on your. Hands the small trekking basket is for. Summer use but can be replaced with a snow basket if the weather calls for it those are sold separately the tip is incredibly durable and gives reliable. Traction on any surface this portion of. The tip has a bit of flex that's why. It's called the carbide flex tip so if it gets jammed in between two rocks it will bend and flex first to save the. Upper shaft sections from breakage it's a rare instance but the tip is fully. Replaceable so should you need a new one. The cost of a new tip is nominal compared to a new set of poles that. Makes these a perfect option for avid hikers backpackers and trail runners there the leakey women's micro vario. Tech t a trekking poles call us with. Your questions or visit our store at.

Thinking the right pack can seem like a very overwhelming experience for a lot. Of reasons there are so many packs in the market it's kind of hard to narrow down which one is right for you i like. To look at three things when I'm picking it back first what's my purpose i want. To make sure if I'm doing day hikes overnight trips I'm using it as a carry-on that it fits that specific reason then it needs to fit me and fit. My body to make sure that it's dispersing all the weight properly and finally i wanted to be as comfortable as it can be when i first moved to alaska. This was the pack that i picked up it was deuter future pro 34 litre sl which. Sl on the deuter brand is a pack line. That is designed specifically to fit a woman's body daughter is a german based. Brand they've been in the backpacking industry for 110 years they have several. Lines of packs and what they pride. Themselves on is their air ventilation system their packs are equipped with. This lightweight mesh system that. According to the company keeps you from. Sweating it keeps your a cut your sweat down by about 25% now as i mentioned. It's important for a pack to fit you properly and there are two main areas. Where that's true. It's important that your pack fit in. Your shoulders and in your waist because that's where you're going to be carrying the weight now this is the sl meaning. That it is designed specifically for women's body so that's a number of. Different features the waist belt is smaller than say a man's pack to. Accommodate that women are oftentimes smaller you also have slimmer shoulder straps. And they carry in a different way and then you have a smaller wound mostly. Have smaller torsos and so the s outfits. Petite torso one of the things that i. Found that i like pack opposed to a lot of packs is i find that it's really easy to tighten it and. It's also really easy to reduce in so. Say you're layering you put on a coat and you need to loosen it a little bit you just kind of flip these back or you. Take off that jacket and you need to tighten it a little bit more it's able to do that there are a number of. Different features in this pack pockets. Galore which is what we always like to see on packs you've got this top pocket. Which is perfect for gear that you're. Gonna want to access quite frequently then if you flip it open you actually. Have this sos card which gives you important sos survival advice which is. Kind of cool you also have this interior. Pocket on the lid which is designed to. Keep your valuables safe so i often put things in here that i don't maybe want to access for the entire trip so keys my. Wallet my id anything like that. Now speaking of keys on the top lid the. Pack actually does come with a key chain that you can hook your keys to however i. Find that it's not something that i use very frequently which also pockets on. The side i can put ear in there you got. These mesh pockets that hold water one. On either side and this side it also has. That gear pocket now this is a older. Model so it does have this front pocket. Which is an available on some of the newer models however all the models. Have this bottom compartment. That they call the sleeping bag compartment now if you take that out you. Can see it's a separate compartment but you can also unzip it and it gives you access to the rest so you can use it away there's a number of attachments. That come with deuter packs you can get attachments to carry ice picks or. Trekking poles as well there's as well. These that you can attach carbines to. To carry other types beer with you. Whether it's your coffee mug or something on the top one thing that i. Tend to use this pack for is carry-on. And also it's a great overnight pack if you're staying in like a hut or a cabin. So I've assembled some gear to kind of give you an idea of how much this 34. Liter pack and pull so i do have its. Hydration bladder compatible so i. Already have my 3 liter hydration bladder in there the hose goes through. The top out the back and then you can. Clip it with this velcro and you can. Actually remove it and clip it to either side whatever is more comfortable for you do we have that in there already. You've got our sleeping bag in the bottom we're gonna throw in our thermos. Our jet boil. A pack of some extra layers you can see. It start to get a little bit tight. And finally every tooth throw in but a. Day and that's worth food so you can see. That is tight at 34 liters is all of. That but we do still have room in the bottom, so we have a number of options we could stuff more stuff under there, or we can unzip it, and we can make it one large compartment now we talked about. Our lid without easy access exterior. Pocket this i tend to put things like a. Gps in satellite communication device. And always twitter paper now of course. There would be other odds and ends that you would probably carry with you and there is still room in here you have. Some room in our side pockets as well definitely could put headlamps lighters. Things like that other snacks um but. It's starting to get a little bit full but you could definitely it's a great weekend bag now one of my favorite features of this pack is the rain cover. So say it starts to sprinkle a little bit outside you just unzip the bottom. Pull out the rain cover that's actually. Attached by a clip pull it. Over your pack it fits perfectly. And you are ready to go sprinkle stop. It's easy to take off one thing i really. Like is placement i like that it's at. The very bottom and i also really like. That it has a clip say you're doing a little bit of bushwhacking you're crawling with your branches or things on a rough trail it just touches and rips. Off which it had happened before it's. Still connected so it seems like you don't quite use it this often then you. Just back it back in the big shot. And you are good to go now as i. Mentioned i would say that this is the perfect pack for say a weekend trip if. You're staying in a cabin if you're staying in the hot it's perfect for day trips where you need a little bit of extra space it's not necessarily the. Perfect just day pack with friends. Because it is a little bit heavy at. Almost 4 pounds so you probably wouldn't want to carry that if you didn't need to however it was the very first pack that i owned and i used it exclusively for. About three years before picking up some. Other packs some smaller packs and some bigger packs and now i find that i use this exclusively for day trip activity. So berry picking or fishing are the. Primary uses that i use it for but i do. Enjoy the deuter brand i like the slim. Fit the sle for women i think it fits me. Very well and i have other women friends that it fits as well and i would. Definitely recommend and ain't your. Local store and trying it out. And seeing if it's the right back for you.

I'm jarred a--the daughter here the tahoe mountain sports talking about the future of pro 40 sl packs the future pro. Is slightly different from the future. Series so as you can see we're going to have taller packs bigger packs we still. Use the spring steel framework so it's. Going to allow for 25% less perspiration. By keeping the pack away from your back and letting a big airflow channel in there the spring steel is not like. Aluminum you're going to be able to and its shape to do whatever and it's always going to spring back to its original position like i said the future pro. Packs are going to be taller bigger, and they're going to come with what we call our very flex hip belt the great flex. Hip belt does is that pivots so you can. Either tighten it down and lock it in or you can loosen it up and have that pit bull it's really important to have that feature in our pro level packs when. You're skiing when you're hiking doing anything technical maybe climbing where you want your the bottom part of your body to work independently of your body. And you don't want the whole weight of that pack swing so that very flex tip. Belt is a really nice feature more. Substantial in the hip belt as well it's a bigger pack you're going to be carrying more weight we want lumbar support and then because we have the. Real estate on the hip belt we're actually giving you two front pockets along the hip belt as well so like i. Said a little bit of a different design here you're gonna have a top loading pack instead of the features which are panel loading still hydration. Compatible with the nice extendable collar you do have the. Separate compartment whether it's. Sleeping bag whether it's wet clothes whether it's bike stuff dirty clothes. Whatever you want to do you have that. Divided compartment with access back here but you can also zip out the compartment and make it one long tube if. That's your hiking style or your packing style we do have trekking pole loops and of. Course the deuter you have your rain cover so you're going to have rain integrated rain cover in the bottom of the pack it is attached but it is also removable so perfectly sized for this pack so that. You are you stay dry that is the future. Pro 40 sl I'm jared and you can check. These out at mountain sports.

Hey how's it going guys got another backpack review for you thank you so much young's backpacking for hosting this what you're looking at here is the deuter future 0 4 t sl first off let's. Start by saying that you can have the most expensive backpack in the world but if it doesn't fit right you're gonna be hating life just because the weights not gonna be distributed evenly it's gonna be uncomfortable and you're just not gonna want to wear the pack in the first place so what a bunch of female outdoor experts at dora did was they analyzed. Some differences between male and female anatomy, and they made packs that. Where specifically shaped for the female body normally for in terms of body shape. Men tend to have straight torsos whereas. Women tend to have a more hourglass. Shaped figure with wider hips and narrower shoulders and so this bag has. Been engineered to fit a woman's torso. Which tends to also be shorter hence the name as sells for a short. Length I'm just gonna go over some of the features of this bag and hopefully he'll give you an idea of whether you might want to get it for yourself or for your girlfriend or your wife so let's start first off just start with. The suspension here what you got here is a nice well padded waist belt i like the. Fact that it has a hip belt pocket the boy is pretty good about putting the hip belt pockets on their waist belts if you're gonna have a waist belt why not have a pocket it's great it's nice and sizable enough to stick change small items maybe a it's a little bit small. Too small for a phone but anything small that you want to get to without having to take off the pack so it's good give. You a look at the clasp at the front. Here. And you have nice padded shoulder straps. Not too thick but just enough to give it makes it comfortable and you have an adjustable sternum strap now for the sl. Version since it's a made for the female anatomy they put the shoulder straps. A little bit closer together then on the standard version just because women tend to have narrower shoulders and wider hips and the waist belt has been angled let's see if i can get the information card and give you a look at the picture. Here you'll notice here the white would. Be the standard version so the white outline so as you can see the waist belt for a standard version kind of goes out straight whereas here on the orange the. Waist belt for the sl version kind of tilts up and that's to make for the angular hip angle on a women's backpack. Also even though this is listed as being. Mostly for women hence this little flower here this comes off by the way this is also recommended also for men. Who have a short torso as well so don't think this is just for women if you're a guy and you have a short torso this will work out just fine just take out the flower I'll leave it doesn't matter. This also boosts the deuter air comfort. System i talked about it on my own back pack the deuter future 42 basically what. You have here is two aluminum stays i don't know if you can see it here these. Two stays that arch the back of the pack. Away from your body and then you have this mesh panel right here that your body rests against and this gives a nice little area right here for air to circulate so you're doing it you don't get sweaty back i was worried when i. First got my backpack that this mesh would rip or tear or break or whatever but actually after kicking around my bag for a good two years i haven't had any problems so i trust it now so it's pretty good and the aluminum. Stays they're flexible they're strong, but they're flexible, so they can bend so really durable system so don't worry that you're getting a bag that's gonna be comfortable but fall apart later this system has lasted me really. Well go into the side there are two. Compression straps you have a bottom compression strap and a top compression strap which you can also undo the top one with a clasp like so. The bottom one is fixed and then you. Have side mesh pocket on the other side as well it's elastic and it's pretty durable this mesh material you should. Look at the other side here like so going to the back of the panel back of. The bag there's a top loading design so. You undo these two clasp you take the top off basically what top loader design. Is its just a main sack with a lid on. Top before i go to the main compartment let me just talk about the lid you have. A back access pocket for the live light here on the back and then when you open. Up the lid on the underneath side you. Have another access pocket right here. Going to the front of the bag you have. An elastic mesh pocket which you can also tighten with the top compression strap right here so in terms of storage. Space i think you could stick a helmet. Here but it's gonna be kind of tight fit would have like this to be a little bit stretch here and a little bit more expansive for this mesh pocket just so i could stick in a lot of your helmet but for a bike helmet or anything around that size no problem whatsoever you can also stick like so you take off your mid layer your fleece you could just jam it in here without having to undo and get to the main part of the compartment of the pack going into the interior pocket oh by the. Way i love the fact that it's using these bright colors it makes it easier for you to find your gear if you have a. Black kind of interior it makes it harder to find here but with this bright color any times you put inside are gonna stand out and i love that going into the interior of the bag you'll notice you. Have a velcro loop attachment for attaching stuff and you have this inner. Back pocket for sticking a hydration bladder this bag is hydration compatible and if you look here on the sides you have a hole on one side here for the loop to go out and on the other side so you can have the hydration bladder going either from your left and right side without the loop hitting the back of your head i really like that it's a nice touch and just. Give you a look here that's basically it for the main compartment let me just. Close this guy up that's about it pretty. Simple design a fair number of pockets. For powder storage and interior storage. Some gear separation in the lid and a very ergonomic design for a different. Frame sizes if you're of a shorter frame. Size or if you are a woman and just want. Something that fits the contours of your body so it's my little overview of the. Deuter future 0 40 sl thanks for watching guys and have a great day.

Hey guys tamir this is my daughter for. Tara pro 38 liter packs I've had this. Think for about a year now and i really liked it i figured it's about time i did a review on it i remember. When i bought it the only review i could find was in german but it got me a good. Look at what the pack had to offer so i. Figured I'd put a decent English one. Up there in case anyone else is looking at any of the smaller dotter packs. I don't think rei actually carries the. 38 anymore i got it online when i lived. In indiana so i couldn't go to the store well last time i went i believe i saw. 3432 it was red so I'm not sure if this. One's even still around but i like it a. Lot so I'm just going to show you guys really quickly a couple features on it is a top loading pack so i opened up. Here and expanse quite a bit very good. Amount for a pack this size gives you a. Lot more room to put stuff the top. Compartment does not come off but it. Does fit nicely over even if it's completely full it has a pocket on the. Inside works really well and as well as. On the back it's got a nice pocket here. Too. Having trouble with the zippers no yes the same time on the side here each side. Does have a side pocket that is fairly. Sizable i can fit a pair of flip-flops or something in their pretty easily i put a lot of miscellaneous things on the side pocket and like i said each side. Does have a side pocket. Once again these zippers work perfectly fine I'm just being a noob with my. Camera in my hands instead of on a tripod it's got a lot of different areas. Where you can attach carbines i got a. Whistle there i tied my bandana up here. Great for a sweat rag sweaty guy like me. And a bunch of loops just to put. Then anywhere gives you space to hold. Extra things which i like a lot like. They have a lot of stuff on the outside of my pack down here you can access the. Included rain cover with this nice blue. Bad boy that fits very well onto the pack I've only had to use it once sort of work just fine when i used it. Though it was a light rain so i can't attest to that too much. The last pocket of note is here it's a. Math pocket and it's really a map pack and it can't hold too much because it goes back fairly far there but i. Usually just keep my maps in there as. Well as a compass down on the bottom you. Do have our sleeping bag compartment. And that opens up and right now i have it going completely through the entire. Pack so the solution back apartment does. This is what it looks like zip. Even when exhibits very sizable in this. I can fit my mic open sleeping bag ather. Mraz pro light sleeping mat my cocoon pillow as well as a pretty big hammock i. Got from dick's it's not not anything too fancy pretty heavy but i can fit all. Four of those in there which is very nice. Do a couple loops down here as well good. For holding ice picks trekking poles anything like that we have our side compression straps as. Well as the elastic water bottle holders. On the side water can go in through. There. Though there is not one on the other. Side i think there would be that's one. Think that's a little bit annoying about it but that's not a huge deal the thing. That really attracted me to this pack was the air comfort very flexes that deuter has put here the hip belt it's. Slightly mobile it boasts that it moves. From side to side but it really doesn't do a lot but it's enough to. Kind of go with you on the trail a. Little bit but nothing really to brag about it is very comfortable there are. No side pockets on this which is one. Think that i wish they did have and they. Don't have any really good way to secure. Your straps my wife has a Gregory. Jade and her straps can tuck right and. She's got the nice side pockets such as me music but the system on the back. Really does allow for air to get in here. Very well very comfortable light. Back i can wear it and like i said. Earlier I'm a sweaty dude hits a that's a bandana but my back does not sweat. Because i get so much air coming in through the back here overall it's a. Very good pack i like it a lot for. Night weekend short weekend hikes things. Like that i can fit a lot in this bad boy this seams are strong no complaints. About it so far.

got just enough features with a comfortable and technical suspension system that's going to keep you comfortable on the trail all day long it's the Gregory women's sula 18 liter

Hi it's peter again I'm here to talk. About a variety of different mountaineering boots that we use in the field I'll start over here on my right with the uninsulated single boot kind of. Rock climbing summer mountaineering oriented we're going to see this boot on the matterhorn and the eiger in europe. And on the 13-day course and the cascades moving up in insulation is. Another single boot but this one is. Insulated we use this on all over the. Cascades and on mount rainier in mid summer and you'll also see this on mont. Blanc in europe next step up in. Installation is our double plastic boot even more insulated with the removable. Liner you're going to see this on mount. Rainier and in the cascades for the bulk of the season early and late especially when it's colder you're going to see this on mexican volcanoes and Ecuador this type of boot is very versatile one. More step up in installation is a high-altitude double boot here a little bit more streamlined lighter weight package and a even further warmer liner. Compared to this for higher altitude. Expeditions this is going to be really appropriate for Aconcagua and especially Denali trips finally on my left is the. 8,000 meter boot you're going to see. This in antarctica on mount everest any. Other 8,000 meter peak and a lot of people are starting to use boots like this on Denali expeditions as well for. Extra warmth.

Hey there and welcome back to peace. Couch now as many of you aware I'm about to embark on the marathon disorder which. Is something I've been concentrating really heavily on for the last year or. More as well as doing lots of training. I've been doing so much research on the. Amount of kit going to take and I've been testing a lot of stuff so over the. Next couple of weeks before i depart i thought I'd share some of those learnings with you and where better. Place to start than the backpack I'm going to take which i have decided on. The ultimate direction fast pack 20 now. This is super heavy at the moment because it's its fully weighted so I've been training with but i just can empty it out and show you why i like it so much so here it is and it's naked form. And this is what i like most about it is that it's so minimal it's basically an expanded running desk it weighs next to nothing and this is kind of one of the big deciding factors for me because obviously I'm trying to cut down as much weight as possible 510. Grams okay now a great thing to compare. This to is the official war bag which a. Lot of people will be using mdf and in. Contrast it's got all kinds of stuff hanging off it and most importantly the. Weight of it 900 grams that's a pretty. Huge difference so this is nearly half the weight of the wire back which is an incredible savings but I've also decided. To make an even bigger saving on it there's not much you can cut off it like the like a wild bag you can get the diseases to that and kind of trim off some weight but here it's so minimal anyway but certainly the most notable. Savings you can make is in the back there's a bit of padding that you can remove, and they say that this can be. Used to sit on or even to you know used. To cushion your hips when you're lying down i found it pretty useless. I've actually having removed this form. The back I've actually found the pack more come — boo and with it out so condition this. That brings the weight of the pack down to give time a gram so i say 10 grams. Right there so although this fast pack is nearly half the weight of the wire bag actually fits way more in it and it's down as a 20 litres bag but i think. You could probably push that out quite a lot partly because of the nature of this main compartment and how it seals its kind of like a dry bag has a velcro fastening that then rolls and then clips. In at the sides now i probably got about. 20 litres in there now but you can. Basically just not roll it down as much and sitting maybe another five litres. Into that main compartment it's not only that you've also got this fat mesh here. Which you can fit loads in that really stretches out and it's a firm mesh as well so it's going to hold things firmly in place i don't tend to put a massive amount in there because i like to keep my weight closer to my back but it's actually really good for holding waterproof or extra base layers that you. Might be using during the day stuff that down there and it holds it in their lovely and secure on top of those two main compartments we've got these mesh pockets on the side which also hold a lot of stuff very stretchy and pretty. Secure I'll generally use those side pockets for stuffing food and stuffing rubbish because even though I've got terrible flexibility i can reach into those pockets quite nicely so coming onto the front, and we've got two really great water pouches here it really surprises me how many ultra bags don't. Seem to have big enough pouches built in. For hard water bottles and maybe because they want to offer flexibility so that people can attach themselves but as you think this is a great weight saving thing to be able to build them into the bag that ultimates are it shouldn't have done so as you can see — water pool. Tools fit there really nicely there's also the option on this right-hand one if you don't want to. Carry two water bottles this zips back up again and there's actually a really nice secure pocket that you could maybe put bars you could put all kinds of stuff down in there it's actually a really brilliant phone holder you can put your phone down into their sip it back up and that's super secure. But i actually find that's one of the major downsides of its bad for me is that I'm going to be running around with two bottles most of the time and there's nowhere for me to put my phone now I'm not expecting to be on the phone the whole time but it'd be really good to have access to music and stuff like that if i do want to listen to music currently there's nowhere else. On the front of the bag for me to put it. There's this outside stretchy pocket just outside where the water bottle is but actually getting your phone into it. It's pretty much a no-go really the best. Place for you to put your phone is there's a smaller zip pocket on the side of the bag then it can go in nice and. Securely there's also one of these clip leaves to put your keys onto you know I've ever used one of these so the annoying thing about it is that it's going to be too far away for you to reach when you've got your bag on so coming back to the front you've also got two smaller pouches below the water bottles so if i just take these out so you can get a better look so on the left. Hand side we've got a zip and on the. Right-hand side we've got a velcro strap these are actually bigger than they look quite often i use them to dump keys and just have stuff that i want readily available, but they're actually stretch out so hold a couple of bars maybe or you know something slightly more sizable approach they just not that phone but you can see i can fit two full clif bars. Into each one of these pockets obviously. One of the most important things about the bag is how comfortable it is and i get on really well with this and i think. That could partly be because of the nature of these shoulder straps it's actually one bit of fabric runs straight. From the base of the bag over the. Shoulders and down the front you can see it completely wraps around which makes it really comfortable all the way around and especially now I've taking. That back bit of padding out it just molds into your body really nicely so one thing that it's most commonly criticized for is that it has two chest straps but no waist strap and a lot of people will say that that creates a bit too much side-to-side bouncing when they're running i can definitely see that point but i don't really experience it too badly myself and i think that's partly because i found a configuration that really works for me on the front here i tend to pack. A lot of the weight in the bag place for my body to avoid bouncing if i do experience any bouncing i tend to try and adjust my running to be a little normal glider which i guess i see is a win-win situation i kind of want to be a little bit more glide ii so the chest straps themselves are actually really nicely adjustable they're set into these sliders here which you can move them up and down so i found best. For security for me is to have one right. At the top and then slide the bottom one right down to the bottom and that kind. Of clips me in nicely either side of the rib cage by far my biggest issue with this bag is full of my decision to take polls to the mds oh now handily enough. There's actually some really nice. Elastic straps on the back that hold them nicely in place you can put them down here there's a clippable elastic. Bungee that you can wrap them around and have them nice and secure on the back of. The pack like that but i know having. Poles on the back of the bag i will never use them so really i need to have. Then on the front straps but unfortunately on the front straps there's nothing there that's made to hold the poles so I've had to try and budge something to make it work for me now unfortunately i haven't made life easy for my selves and I've got poles that fold into four sections which means. That both the handle and the pointer at the bottom which means that when it's. Going down this way there's nothing really to hold on to the top of the pole so my first idea was to put a hook at. That i tied on to one of these things here and i took this string on the top. And then i tied it to the side that worked it was actually quite comfortable. But it was just so fiddly I'm hooking this and hooking it back on again i probably was never going to use my poles because it was too fiddly so then. I tried other things i tried to pass them on to the front which is a terrible idea don't try that it was awful and i also tried to fasten it down here somewhere which again didn't work so my final winning solution simply uses two pieces of elastic one of which just ties. Straight around the strap and around the water bottle here and one which fixes on. To the bottom buckle over here and that one has a sliding clip on it so all we. Do is we take the end of the poles and put it through the bottom bit of elastic we tie that site then put the end over the spike which. Then holds that in position and stops it falling down then the top you just feed. Through that top bit of elastic which. Holds it nice and securely in place so that's nicely out the way and more. Importantly it's a really light solution and i know it's going to be simple enough for me to deploy and actually use the poles when i need to use them so that is the ultimate direction fast pack 20 is a massive winner for me really recommend it if you are doing a multi-day ultra or if you just do a lot of running weekend so check it out.
