I've been reading your messages and I genuinely cannot keep these to myself.
When we designed the Backpacker Barrel Leg, I knew exactly what I wanted it to do and how I wanted it to feel on a real day outside. And reading what you have been sending in and leaving in reviews this week, you are describing exactly that. Word for word, the things we worked so hard to get right. That does not happen by accident and it means everything to me to hear it.
This is why we do this. Not just to make gear but to make gear that actually shows up for you on the trail, on the hike, on the day that turned into something more than you planned for. Reading your messages this week has been such a full heart warming experience for me and our whole small team.
If you have the Backpacker Barrel Leg, thank you for taking them out into your adventures and for taking the time to tell us about it. And if you have been on the fence, come read what people are saying at the link in bio. I think it will tell you everything you need to know.
So much love and appreciation for this community.
– Jen + The Alpine Fit team
