I don’t use it for backpacking much because of the weight, but that’s just me. It’s not extremely heavy and folks not concerned with going really light probably won’t mind.

I’ve spoken directly to the owner about modifications and they have some lightweight models on the horizon. I do use it almost daily as part of my bicycle commute bag. I put a change of clothes and other gear that goes into my messenger bag. It keeps my clothes organized (soiled vs. clean) and keeps everything away from whatever else happens to get into my bag. I also use it often when I travel, for both business and personal trips. It’s a very handy organizer.

On my trip to Lake Powell this summer, I packed nearly everything—including my hammock—in the Hoboroll. I think it is useful for me for a variety of trips. When they come out with a lighter model (and maybe a few other modifications to the collars), I’m sure I”ll use one for backpacking.

Thanks man! It’s been very useful, that’s for sure. I think I’d like to see a lighter version for backpacking, but overall it’s a great deal. It’s 12 miles (19 km) from my house to work. I often cut that in half and use the bus in the morning.

PS that is awesome to hear that you bike commute too. How far is your ride?

It looks like it is. Thanks for checking!
