Pack Review, Flextrek 37,000000000000
Ever get tired of all the backpack hype? I do. Cut through all the B.S. with the Flextrek!
LOL, this deserves to go viral, so I’ll do my share. Something for you evening visitors, while Louie and I fool around with the Garmont Radiums.

Lou, thank you for doing your part to help market this incredible product. Think how bad everyone else on the trail will feel when you stride past them wearing this pack. The only pack better than this one is the Augmenteon, also by the good people at Archwood.
Indeed, Archwood backpacks are now my only choice. Looking forward to the review product for our next pack roundup!
