  Very Nice With a Few Doubts

  Pros: feels solid, lightweight, folds to a reasonable length, bright orange stuff sack, has cm. gradients so useful for snow profile in pits. (Potential) Cons: the pull cable is fabric - seems durable but time will tell, the stop lock for the pull cable is a spring snap - again, feels sturdy but jamming and failure are serious potential risks as opposed to a simple mechanical lock (eg G3).

  Excited to use these! They seem to be a good brand, if I have anything bad to review, I’ll circle back.

  Haven't had a chance to use this out in the field yet (not a bad thing lol). But it's light and sturdy and a good length.

  Super easy to deploy and the markings are very legible. The bright orange bag makes it easy to locate in the back pack.
