Hi

For those interested, BackpackGearTest.org has completed the following
product tests during April, 2005. These tests are undertaken for no
monetary gain by BackpackGearTest.org and are undertaken in the field by
backpackers (hikers, trampers, bushwalkers) normally over a six month
period . The tester, upon completing the reporting requirements gets to
keep the gear at the end of the test.
