These are the best gloves I have found for rappelling! They are so comfy and keep my hands from getting overheated with the rope!

The perfect “everything” shorts? I don’t know but they may be for me. Store run, hike, swim. The right pockets, my kind of waistband and great tailoring.

Good bag. I like the tough as hell construction. The Rope System divider inside is nice if you know you won't have any free hanging rappels. I've not used it in southern Utah canyons yet. Mostly in waterfalls up here in the Wasatch. Drains well enough. I think the lid is both the best and worst feature. The organization in the lid is really nice with dual pockets inside and a spot to stash rescue rope on the outside. I don't like that you can't put a rope bag on top and cinch it down like most o...

the first innovation in canyoneering gloves ever. They are amazing and useful for any desert canyon from the trip leader down to the newest member of your posse.

Recently took my pack on a nice 9 mile hike through Little Wild Horse and Bell canyon and it was great. Perfect size and super comfortable.

I really wish this bag had rivets in the bag to drain water. I understand that usually climbing your bag isn’t gonna get wet. But I think this bag would also make a great canyoneering bag minus the fact that it doesn’t drain water. Other than that this bag is awesome! It also could be nice if there was some separation inside for a snack pocket or something like that. More than the one on the lid.

Great little day pack my 11 year old uses and it’s yellow color is great to keep sight of him.

This has been a great pack so far. One of the zipper pulls broke right away but it is still usable. Been great so far. Also love my 50L guide but it is showing serious wear. Will probably need some patching really soon. Love both packs.

It didn't explode in the swell like my other bags. I did loose the cup holder on the 1st outing

Really good. Feels like what the standard canyoneering pack should be. First weekend I had it and I took it through Echo, Mystery, and Imlay. Good drainage, really tough except for one spot, and easy storage to get around. The one spot that broke was the attachment point for the secondary hip belt. I really love the design of having a smaller, replaceable hip strap to protect the big comfy belt. So it was disappointing to have that fail and be left without a hip strap in canyon. The other gripe ...

I love the pack and would make these changes. 1. the bottle holder will not hold a Nalgene bottle, at least the ones I am using. 2. Not sure what the thinner waist strap is used for or which way it is supposed to go. Might be helpful to have a quick guide with pics on it's use / as well as other features of the pack). Great Pack excellent feature set

Backpack is high quality and the overall design is great. I have yet to use it for a canyon but so far it seems very well thought out and functional. There are one or two small design oversights however, the biggest being that the water bottle holder is too small to hold a nalgene or other equivalent water bottle. This is extremely frustrating and basically negates the water bottle holder as all of my current water bottles do not fit. The other oversight is the exit for the camel back holder is ...

I want to love it. I mean, I DO love it in that it's the exact canyoneering-specific pack I feel like I have been looking for for years. But... I have a short torso. I'm a 5' 3" woman. And the pack is not adjustable. I want it to work so bad, but when I hike with it, I have to constantly shift the load from waist to shoulders. If I have the waistband on, the weight is entirely on my lower body so it gets tired and I have to undo the waistband to bear all the weight on my shoulders to give my low...

This thing is BOMBER! Wish I would have had it going through Alcatraz instead of the pack that it's replacing.

Warm, I would compare this to a Melanzana wind pro. It is definitely thicker and heavier duty. The zip close kangaroo pocket is great.

Best sun shirt I own. Much cooler than my patagonia and already slightly cream colored so stains from dirt etc aren't nearly as apparent :)

Amazingly light and comfy. I wear these for everything. The pockets are arranged and function better than my Prana shorts. I would highly recommend

I would give this pack 5/5 for how well it works as a canyon pack that’s meant to be used with the SRS design. It has great features and really made setting up and cleaning rappels faster than I’m used to. I like the divider system and the pockets on the brain. My only issue with it so far (gone through 3 canyons, one very wet one) is once the pack started to break in a bit, the frameless design wasn’t the most comfortable on my body. If you strap down waist tightly on hips on in/out hike (like ...

Water + fav hydration mix = perfection in a bottle. Love having these handy on my Slot backpack (hip belt) during canyon approaches.

Rad little canyon pack that is perfect for the quick canyon run. Also great as a daypack for short hikes and outings.

Nice way to carry 300’ rope. I’m usually last down and don’t like going on one strand because worried about sticking a rope when have beaner block.

I like the idea of having the wetsuit outside the main pack. It saves room on the inside that usually gets taken up by the wetsuit.

Just got this new pack, pretty excited about it. We have 4 slot canyons to do over spring break so it will get put to the test. I’ll let you know how it performs.

I love your packs and they seem very durable! I was releived there was more drain holes as i wasnt able to disern this on the website. As incouragment on the next models, some better ventilation on the back may be well served on the hot hikes and pushing the limits of thiner light durable versions of the pack. Im happy either way excited to put myn to use.

I love how much I can fit in this pack but because it's unstructured the weight ends up mostly on my shoulders. Maybe it's just my own torso length but the pack is tough for me to carry for a long canyon day. I'm a 5'8 female with a long torso for my height and I got the pack in Small/Medium.

These were an impulse purchase and I probably won’t use them as intended. The build quality is solid, stitching and materials all look good. They are a tight fit but that may be by design. Everything else I’ve used from Slot has been fantastic so I’m sure these will be too

I'm a canyoneering guide near Zion and I really like the design and functionality of this pack. Unfortunately, I quit using the pack because it's a bit too tall for my frame. I'm 5'4", 115 lbs. and have the straps bottomed out. It would be nice if I could adjust the straps down about 3-4 more inches. One of my male coworkers had the same issue with his 50 liter and had a boot repair guy cut and shorten his straps. I plan to do the same. A couple other things, not really a complaint but the whit...

I have worn this several times. I have also loaned it out for another unprepared canyoneer 😉 in full sun. Works great. Going to buy a couple more.

Enjoying this pack so far! Great functionality and features. Comfortable - appreciate the robust hip strap. Would like to see the adjustable chest strap able to adjust higher - even the highest level was somewhat uncomfortable for someone with breasts. Also would love to be able to adjust the straps at the tops of the shoulders, like a backpacking pack.

I do really like this shirt. The fabric is soft and style is the way tees to look. Just note that the sizing runs a bit small. I got a medium High Noon Sun Hoody and it fit me just fine. I'm 5'-9", 165lbs. But the medium of this Tee is a bit too small. I'll be getting a large next time.

Wish the pack would have come with one to start. Also wish the patch "kit" came with more than one patch. So far the patch is holding up though it was just recently applied.

My go to pack for big day explorations. when packing multiple ropes and extra gear, this beast gets the job done!

-Would like to see clips on shoulder straps for quick release in tight canyons (slots ;)) -Water bottle holder sticks out too much and catches nearby object when in tight or bushwhacking. - easy clean and durable (so far) - drains well - small version coming soon for Irish canyon type slots?

The quality was top notch and seems like it will take all the abuse i can dish out. Will report more when i get it out and hammer it
