Summary
Love my Hoboroll! It's become my most important companion for snowboarding in the winter (holds my thermals, goggles, gloves, extra socks, wool cap, and shirts), and boating/beaching in the summer! Perfect carryall for weekend getaways, camping, or just traveling light. Easy to use and fits anywhere! Buy one now!

I had known about the Hoboroll for some time while it was still in development and I jumped at the opportunity to get one for myself when Chez (Gobi Gear owner/creator) offered me a chance to promote it. The Hoboroll has lived up to every expectation!
I primarily use it in the winter as my snowboarding companion since it is compact and holds all of my extra gear (goggles, gloves, extra socks, thermals, t-shirts, sunblock, wool hats) making it easily accessible in the mornings when I'm in a hurry to hit the mountain.
In the summer the Hoboroll is great for camping and trips to the beach. I have also taken my Hoboroll on vacation several times and it makes an awesome addition to my carry-on luggage which makes packing a million times easier.
The only real drawback as far as I can see are the plastic buckles. I had one break on me once, but I sent it back and it was replaced within a week, no hassles, so that was a great experience. Great company, great product is all I have to say, can't wait to see what Gobi Gear comes up with next!!
