TRAIL FORTY | FIELD NOTES | MAZAMA DESIGNS

TRAIL FORTY had the opportunity to field test Mazama Designs hydration packs. The innovation and performance of these quality systems made our adventures fun and of course properly hydrated. We have had our favorite systems for backpacking and hikes and this product lands at the top.
