    Yours is the Only video out there of this backpack, not even the company has a video of it... I've only found this, a Silva one, and the Matador FreeRain24 v 2.0 hmthat have packable WATERPROOF daypacks. Waterproof is soooo needed with these thin backpacks. Anyway thanks for the video!

    Mandatory Product Slapping.....LOL! To be fair it does look really good and I cannot believe how small and lightweight it was. Bit hard to get back into the sack but you got there in the end. Good to hear plenty on the outdoor menu for the coming months. Like and full watch, cheers Alan

    Chris, I gpit a similar bag by Nordisk. I call it a 'scramble bag'. For when you've pitched down from a summit and you want to 'scramble' up for photos, so your hardshell/gloves camera are close at hand while keeping both your hands free for safety. There you go; a justified purchase. It also serves as as stuff sack for my down jacket, in my rucksack. It being so malleable with a down jacket in it, helps round off your stuff to help keep a nice shape to your rucksack.

    Good review. Do you know if there is a superlight packable backpack in this style but like 40-50l in size that I can use for a through hike? Planning to go super ultralight and this kind not only is much cheaper but is also lighter than any of the ultralite backpacks I've seen. Don't plan to have heavy loads in it, quite the opposite, mostly just need more pack space. Thanks in advance. Cheers mate.

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  Před 16 dny +1

      Not by this brand - if I was getting a pack that size, I'd want proper padded straps etc. There are many lightweight packs designed for that kind of load mate 👍

    Hi I know it’s not connected: I have a helium Ultralite tent with a silnylon fly and find sliding the pole into the sleeve very tight especially when wet.have you any recommendations as to making it easier? Eg WD40 or Silicone spray?? Thanks

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  Před 4 lety

      Hi Neil, that's a tough one - I'd be wary of using anything with chemicals in which may damage the fabric of the tent..... If I had to think of a quick fix, I'd maybe try rubbing a wax candle lightly over the pole - little chance of anything attacking the flysheet then and may assist with your issue. Hope it helps - let me know if it does 👍

    How water proof is it? Like shower proof/rainproof? Or can it be used as a submersion sack for canoeing?

    • @MCMOutdoors
      @MCMOutdoors  Před 3 lety +1

      It's definitely rain and shower proof - it has full taped seams - so whilst I have not submerged it - in theory, it should work fine - as it's basically a big dry bag - ATB
