Review on πŸŽ’ Green Black Chemun Portage Pack by Jesse Francilme

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money if you are realistic with your expectations. Worth seeing

If I could do a 3.5, I would take it. I've been on numerous trips to the border waters and took this bag with me. First, you need to adjust your expectations for the price. This is not Granite Gear, Duluth Pack, Kondos, or Cooke Custom Sewing. Also, this isn't even close to $6700. (-1 star). I think they calculated that with a fully deployed tube - unrealistic. The largest packs like the Granite Gear Superior One and Cooke Custom Sewing (CCS) cost less than $6,000. An amazing amount of features for a sub-$100 pack - handles, pockets, waist belt, chest strap, etc., and the Quality is amazing for the price. If you're super picky about your gear, skip this pack. If you're looking for a decent package for less than $100, don't expect GG, CCS, or Duluth package quality, and smart upload and download, etc. You should check this out. I boxed it up completely and put it in the contractor's garbage bag with no problem to ensure waterproofing. For us this is the perfect size for my younger teens coming to the BWCA - they can carry gear in a functional canoe backpack. I would buy it again without hesitation.

Pros
  • Hiking backpacks
Cons
  • Not everything fits
