30 Day Returns + Package Protection

I purchased The Hoodlum to replace my older rigid frame mountain pack for a fall elk hunt. I got lucky and was invited on a spring bear hunt in Idaho three days after I received my new pack. As I have gotten older carrying an uncomfortable ruck is not something I enjoy and man did the Hoodlum and frame make a huge difference in packing 50 lbs. of gear back into the wilderness. The cinch top and full length zipper really made it convenient to get reach gear anywhere in the pack. I ordered the Guide Lid to add additional space for things I need while heading in and works great, but it seems like the Hoodlum should come with a flap cover to protect gear during inclement weather if you have removed the detachable lid to reduce weight after you set up base camp. The build quality and materials is going to last me the rest of my years in the mountains and probably be passed down for my sons to use in the future. Great storage easy accessibility and convertibility was why I picked this pack and it did not disappoint.
