Oh they know. The founder was there to honor part of the acquisition. They bought up a bunch of it, kicked off natives and now let it serve as a refuge for wandering rich white people.

With 10 Million Acres in Patagonia, a National Park System Is Born (Published 2018)

Two Americans snapped up large swaths of land in Chile, which they donated to a new conservation area that will be three times the size of Yosemite and Yellowstone combined.

I surely know. Google "Santiago Maldonado" and "Rafael Nahuel", and behold the wonders of the state's repressive forces defending the rights of Benetton and his kind before those of the natives.

Our own president likes to take several vacation periods off in Robert Lewis' ranch, who has claimed ownership of a piece of our most beautiful national parks, denying anyone the right to reach a lake, when this last fact is strictly forbidden by our Constitutional bill.

Self important rich white people suck. Companies selling an image of 'conservation' just to sell more jackets suck even worse. I'd fully buy patagonia stuff otherwise, they actually repair their shit. But I can't stand the groups that they fund. I sat and had to listen to a lawyer from the wilderness society threaten a local forest multiple times over a little patch of land right next to a highway because snowmobiles are allowed there. Literally right next to a highway where people walk all over the foliage in the summer taking selfies.

Thx for the information, another brand on the never-buy-list. Good thing is we got a local manufacturer here which is also producing good quality stuff. Only downside would be design or looks for some. Idgaf

The fit for a standard water bottle is snug enough that they are very securely retained. So if your growler is substantially wider at the base I doubt it will fit. I've only ever used them for standard water bottles and 12-16 oz beers. Works great for those.

People interested in an enduro satchel should jump on this. I've got one of the first gen models and it's great.

I have not used a backpack once since I got mine. It really is a fine product.

I have an old back injury and I typically get a couple of lumbar sprains every year. Removing the bladder full of water from the backpack was really beneficial...and losing the backpack altogether was even better. Very satisfied customer here.

It will open. They don’t have time to do the act 250 review this year so this maybe the last year if we all don’t become zombies first

It makes me sad that your trails are so smooth that you can *take* crowlers on your rides with you.

Friday beer rides were a tradition around here for a long time and if you think sobriety (or lack thereof) affects the choice of trail you'd be amazed. Cans only though - no glass. Its pretty interesting how even the strongest drinker can get semi-cut off a couple of heavies when you have them mid ride when you've been working up a sweat.

However, I was always amazed riding in BC that the locals would smash a joint at the top of some of the hairiest descending I've ever seen. I've got no idea how they do it. I get stoned and my reaction speed resembles that of a sedated sloth.

I think he meant from a keeping the crowler in your fanny pack perspective, not a drunk perspective. Or at least I hope so. :D

I'll bring a beer on a ride pretty often. Usually just drink it at the top of the first climb.

Ah right. I just chuck a couple of tins in my camelback and then ice water in the bladder to keep them cool. Haven't tried a fannypack thingy.

Naw - I was thinking a can would get so shook up out here as to be mostly useless when you actually needed it.

It works better than you might expect, at least with 12-16oz cans. Crowlers might be a bit much.

But again, refer to my "just drink it at the top of the first climb" advice to be on the safe side. :D
