Hopefully they don't start making purses and handbags for soccer moms in place of packs.

I already have a rode hard and put away wet mystery ranch pack. I can probably get double what I paid for now that it's a yeti!

Nobody likes it when businesses take these steps, myself included. Didn't like it when MR commercialized heavily before, when Stone Glacier sold, Meateater sold etc...However, I have to say the latest metcalf updates have me more interested in an MR pack than I've been in probably a decade.

I have an old Melcalf that has taken a beating, but keeps going. This is making me debate on grabbing another bag before the full cutover/integration with Yeti happens....or I might just go SG
I have an old Dana pack, plus a mid-generation Metcalf. Love both of them, even if the MR is heavy.
I’m always hesitant for acquisitions of gear companies- when a company is at the top of its game, I find it unlikely that it will improve.

Good for them. They seem to have a unique culture there and I've always been super impressed with their customer service. Hopefully all involved only benefit from the acquisition.

Happy for the MR crew. Way to go! Sad for the consumer.

Against The Grain: Ultralight Backpacking Edition
6 guys. Attended K-12 together. Yearly fishing trip . Probably our 15th one. 4 days and a few lakes. When carrying cases of beer on a 7 mile backpacking trip, fortify the cases with duct tape. Hiking beers are tricky. When one is drank from one case, one must be drank from the other...

Also, I'd like to point out the man in jeans is also carrying Yeti Hopper filled with cold elixers on his chest.
