Jon, who bought a never made color combination (a bit much blue if you asked anybody…but he seems to like it) 60L WorkSack wrote in the following: Hey, I stopped by the shop last spring and you guys made a sweet blue 60L worksack. I used it all summer guiding in the Sierra and as [...]

The American Alpine Institute’s Guides Choice Program declared that our line of WorkSacks are the Best Alpine Packs. Isn’t that nice? They said a bit, which you can read after the break, but basically the WorkSack series of packs is “absolutely phenomenal product“. And yes, reading that does make me smile. On the AAI blog, [...]

John Race, the current VP of the AMGA, writes in his review for Alpinist Mountain Standards that the 60L WorkSack is “PERFECTION”. The 60L WorkSack earned 5 stars, and the coveted Mountain Standards Award for the (record?) second time. It’s hard to quote from a review sometimes, but I managed to pick out a few [...]

Wayne Wallace did a great slide show last night here in Portland, Oregon. Forest and I volunteered at the door, to collect cash, and I think it raised about $1,000 for the Madrone Wall which is pretty cool. Although we don’t really know anything about the climbing, CiloGear thinks access is a great thing, and [...]
Rockclimbing.com just published a great review of the 40B. The reviewer, Brian, loves the pack. It posted first in the forum and then they tried to get it up in the review section, but I think something went kinda wrong when they tried posting it in the gear section. Brian gave it five stars and [...]

DPS over on www.summitpostgear.com did a review of his V2.5 45L pack. He seems to love it. He writes: This pack is the best design I’ve used in a long time, combining good workmanship, lightweight materials, and some innovative ideas. Then he continues: The Cilogear packs carry much better for a pack weight that is [...]

This is the first review I’ve ever seen that’s negative. Amazing. Here’s to editorial independence! I think that when only good reviews are published, it doesn’t build reader trust and belief. We all know some stuff sucks. Here at CiloGear, we’ve definitely had to work on a number of products for quite a while — [...]

Photo Courtesy G. McDonald The photographer wrote in about his experience. I’ve reprinted his letter below. I must say that I’m jealous. I’m also glad to hear that he thought that his CiloGear 60L WorkSack was “All in all, the 60l v2 is a great pack!”

Another review. This time an Editorial Review on Rockclimbing.com. It’s interesting, because it’s probably the most in depth and long term review done to date. John — aka Vegastradguy — had the pack for 8 months, and used it pretty much all the time. He might not be an ice kinda guy, but I won’t hold [...]
