Describe Yourself: Outdoor Professional

What Is Your Gear Style: Minimalist

Then I got some larger ones to use as travel duffels for weekend truck packing - just fold them up and fasten the fastex and no worries about wet contents anymore. River people have long used this closure system and now with the light fabrics they are great for all outdoor applications.Get the bright colors so you can easily find them in the pack, truck or corner of the gear room.
