Share Your “Gear of the Year” Winners For 2025!

Check out Transparent Labs. their Chocolate Sea salt Caramel, and the Ryse/Skippy peanut butter whey protein have become the only 2 flavors I buy, and I haven't gotten sick of them yet. Transparent Labs Maple Blueberry Pancake whey flavor is an interesting mix-up to toss in every now and then. Very sweet though.
Thanks ill give them a look!
 
Build quality, stay heights to fit my torso, the lumbar/harness padding, fit, waist belt, and how it carries weight for me. The only thing I didn’t initially like with exo was the weight and bags seemed a little “busy” - that’s totally changed as I have used the system more and more. Just look at the website and how detailed they explain every little decision and approach to the packs - there’s a video for everything. It’s all just done so well.

One other thing I prefer: supporting Exo vs what was a grassroots brand, now being ruined by multiple company sales/hand changes. I had an SG pack when they still sold them through Schnees. With their main people gone, so am I.
Happy to have bought my sg sky archer 5900 in 2018, I heard the quality isn’t there anymore but I honestly haven’t looked at multi day packs since other than a replacement bag. Granted, I have others I use for day trips
