rated 4 of 5 stars Cairn II
Reviewed by AJ, Sep 03, 2006

"I found this at Campmor. com for $35. I bought it because I was recovering from some minor surgery which prevented me from wearing a conventional backpack. I loaded it with my tarp and footprint, extra clothes, some food. I carried my sleeping pad rolled through the elastic straps and cinched my sleeping bag on top through the handle."
