Backpack Gear Test
Despite working very well, the Lakota is not perfect and has a few things I'd change. The flap separating the sleeping bag compartment from the upper portion of the main compartment is just a flap of fabric secured with a few hooks. If care isn't taken in packing the upper 2/3 of the pack, small items can easily slip down into the sleeping bag area.Posted 25 August 2010 by David Wyman - Read full review

It seems to be built with quality in mind and there is plenty of room for all my gear. I will have more on how it does on an adventure in about a month.Posted - Read full review
