TentPak Alpine 70 Expedition Series Loves the Snow

Adam and the Alpine 70 in the snow

Hey Mike:

Another field report.

The tent was amazing!! We got it set up just before it started snowing. Set up in about 10 minutes. There were two of us inside which was comfortable but also put our sleeping bags and blankets up against the side walls of the tent. I was a little worried about moisture coming through, especially since the snow that had fallen on the top was sliding down to the sides and accumulating. Despite my worry, the tent did a great job and we had zero problems with any water inside.

Take down was easy too. Because of the fly, the rest of the tent was dry and rolled right up inside the pack and with a few shakes the water came right off the fly and it also went easily into the pack. Overall I am very impressed with the TentPak's performance, and ease of use.

I really like having everything all in one unit. While all my friends had a duffle bag here, a sleeping bag over there, and somewhere a tent in a box, I had just one bag large enough to keep all my clothing, supplies, sleeping bag, pad, and a 4 season two person tent. I not only felt prepared for this trip, but I also felt confident in the event of an unseen disaster. One pack with everything I need.

Thanks Mike,

Adam

Mike,

Just wanted to let you know how wonderful the Luna 45 TentPak is! As you know I am not a big woman, 5 feet high and about 100 pounds and I have tried many other backpacks, but they never seemed to be just right for me. This backpack system was just perfect for me. It was heaven on my back.

My son, Ted, took me on a 2-day 12 mile hike in the mountains near Angel Fire, New Mexico. It seemed that we hiked 11 miles up and only 1 mile down, but I never felt uncomfortable or weighted down with the TentPak full on my back. When we stopped for a rest, I even kept the backpack on, that is how comfortable I was with the TentPak on my back.

Setting up the tent was simple, only 3 poles and was done easily in the dusky evening. And there is plenty of room inside the tent for the 2 of us to sleep- even his dog Snoopy slept inside with us. And Snoopy is a large dog, about 85 pounds.

The hydration system worked perfectly, I was able to drink water while hiking with no difficulty at all. I have not liked backpack hydration systems in the past, always felt like I was getting wet, but the hydration system in the TentPak was amazing.

One other thing I really liked about the TentPak was the backpack cover supplied with the backpack. It was so easy to find and cover the backpack at night.

I heartily recommend the Tentpak for serious and casual hikers . . . it is truly an ingenious idea and well worth every penny. Thank you for your well developed product!

Sincerely,

Betsy W.
