Gear Review
Great in theory, but not built for the long haul

Really enjoyed having the Trail Drop for about 2-3 weeks, but it wasn't up to the punishment that you might expect that something built for the outdoors would need to endure. The manufacturer would do well to, at minimum, consider a cushioned case that the piece could fit in, so that it wouldn't be so easily rendered useless. Batteries are HARD to replace, too.
