    Trekking poles as carry on?

    Trekking poles as carry on?

    Traveled with on board poles everywhere for three years to and from Santiago with no problems. In April on Iberia was the first time they did not allow poles.. There were so many people with them and we all had to tape them and put them in the hold luggage. Good luck. Elin

    Rain Gear Product opinions please

    Love the Packa. I did seal the seams. I could not figure out why it came with big zipper openings from underneath the sleeves to the side seams. Dah, it took one wearing to realize that if I did not use the zippers, it doubled as my own personal sauna. I could wear it as a pack cover on days...
