Anybody have any long term experience with this brand of equipment (http://www.seatosummit.com/index.php)?
I need to replace/upgrade some of my older equipment and am wondering about the durability. I am pretty old school and realize that durability and lightweight don't always intersect. As an example I use the MSR Dromedary bags, I know that they are all but indestructible, but weigh.
As an example the 10 litre Dromedary bag (http://cascadedesigns.com/msr/water-treatment-and-hydration/expedition-water-treatment-and-hydration/dromedary-bags/product) versus the StoS pocket shower (http://www.seatosummit.com/products/display/59).
What I have typically done in the past is to carry a 6 litre dromedary bag on the rear rack, by the time I get to camp I have warm water for a shower, refill the bag and I have water for cooking. The whole MSR shower and bag arrangement weighs in around 385grams vs the 120 grams for the pocket shower.
