[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s falls between a midrange external pack(think Kelty) and my High end alpine Eddie Bauer internal frame. Very adjustable including trunk length, at 6’ I can make the torso to long for me. Buckles, webbing, zippers and accents all high end and functional. The stirrups work great. Sometimes a little slippery when the little guy wears a snowsuit. The main harness takes a few runs to get the hang of but really holds in a secure and comfortable way. Washable drool pad is very soft and make a soft place for a little head to nap. The hip belt works amazing with the reversed pull to tighten. It has great padding and works well on narrow and wider hips. Shoulder straps are decent. The sun shade which was a big reason for purchase works ok. It doesn’t have a frame so it packs away nice (great for fall and winter hikes) full zipper. However you can’t deploy the shade on your own if it’s zipped in. The lack of frame also does not hold the sun shade out it has to be clipped to the shoulder straps with short stabilizer straps. The sunshade then just bumps the back of my head when I look up and or take big steps. Can be adjusted to compensate but he feels less secure as I have him a little loose on my back to make space. So with three hand me down carriers falling apart under our use we decided to buy top of the line. With all outdoors gear there are compromises. If your going to hike every weekend use it for trips to the city, or you are the kind of family that has the carrier in your rig just in case you find an inviting trail head. This is your baby carrier. If you buy the best of the best. This is you baby carrier. If you plan on doing a couple hikes a summer the cost may not justify this particular carrier. If you are still carrying a canvas rucksack, or your hiking boots have been your go to for over a decade you might be lost? And that’s the weakest point of this carrier, the price. However if you spend time in the outdoors especially if your going to do some serious hiking, the sage “you get what you pay for.” Sums up this carrier very well.
