What hikers keep saying · from 3 reviews

durability issues1durable1uncomfortable1

Their first-year Windrider 2400 bruised their hips with little belt padding, chafed their neck, and its Dyneema back panel made their back sweat.

negativeuncomfortable

Their Windrider is about 5 years old with mesh that is pretty tough and holding up great.

positivedurable

Has about 60 nights on a Windrider and prefers it, though its mesh snags and frayed in gnarly terrain.

mixeddurability issues

Has used a Windrider 3400 for a few years and really liked it, though the mesh pocket got a snag.

positive

Has an HMG Windrider and really likes it, using it for 8-day food carries without a problem.

positive

Owned an HMG Windrider and found an Arc Haul fit them better, being more comfortable with less weight on their shoulders.
