New ZealandNot had a chance to use the product as it was received with a manufacturing error in the stitching. However, Zpacks customer service was excellent. They were quick to respond and immediately prepared to have the item returned, replaced and cover my postage (from NZ).
United StatesAmazingly light weight, easy to pack down and a must to bring EVERY time you are going to hike! It is a MUST have item backpacking. Love that it keeps those damn mosquitoes at bay AND is breathable. Great wind layer. Why isn't this item in your shopping cart yet?
