Video Review: Peregrine Zip Bags and Sacks




"These [Peregrine Zip Sacks & Peregrine Mesh Top Zip Bag ] are very ultra light and could easily be used in backpacking but i found them best used around car camping for the sake of family stuff all getting mixed up and causing stress and a big juxtapose of gear all over the place."  --Trail and Mountain
