I’m very pleased with the coffee. I’ll be ordering more when I run out.
Love this little wallet! Keep my keys and cards in my back pack so I don't have it fall out on the trail like I had happen with my regular wallet . Plus Bear!!!!
We have bought 2 small size food bags from hilltop we absolutely love them especially with the flat bottom and spoon storage I highly recommend getting yourself one or 2 and the quality of the prints always turns out gorgeous!! They treat every customer like a friend can't say enough nice things about hilltop packs!
Do you want water resistant gear bag?!? Do you want something to keep your pack organized?!? Do you want something made in the United States by some of the coolest people you'll ever meet?!??? Look no further than the crew at hilltop packs Ben , Tim , Amy , Amanda and the rest of the crew are amazing! They always do amazing work and the zippered pouches are not only light but really help keep your gear well organized be it color , or patterns never have trouble finding what you're looking for again! Plus it's made in my home state of Pennsylvania how freaking awesome is that go 🐧!!
#5 fit a MSR 1400ml titanium pot well. Does a nice job keeping it contained/holding the lid on. The sewing and finish look great and the bag is extremely light. per my scale 6.7g.
Great quality in the bag and the custom print as well.
Purchased 3 of the stake bags to keep with different hammock tarp setups. Love the quality and big enough to hold stakes and guy lines. Highly recommend.
The Coffee is great love the taste as well.
Downsized to a medium size for my electronics & power bank. These pouches are great for keeping stuff organized and are easily identifiable when they in the pack.
These are excellent for letting you add a shoulder strap pouch when you don't have a daisy chain. It'll let you add a shoulder strap pouch to almost any shoulder strap, and just like their Youtube video states, if your backpack doesn't have any kind of straps, you're just screwed.
The process of getting a custom printed dry bag is very smooth and I was most pleased with the final product, which was delivered promptly.
This is one of my favorite coffee blends and my go-to before a backpacking trip!
What a great addition to my kayak/camp gear. Very impressed.
Love this bottle pouch.. Keeps my water within reach
Perfect size for all my electronics!
