I am not liking the looks of this platform to much either. I will stick to my ring of steps.
This is a terrible launch. A month long count down timer to today. It’s 2pm EST and still nothing. They changed the date earlier on their website to Monday .... T+5 days from launch...
FAIL...
From what I understand now. They are revealing pictures on FB sometime today but not pricing or orders till the website is opened up on Monday.
How painful to watch.
Launches all suck it seems. At best they're irritating, and at worst they're positively cringeworthy.
But, take that out of the picture and you have a hopefully much cheaper version of one of the most sought after platforms of all time. A big platform is an acquired taste for sure. But I like this design better than the xl predator pics I've seen. It has a way to pack the mini sticks, which in my mind is an absolute must. If I can choose between packing sticks/platform next to my back vs hanging off the opposite side of the pack where they will weigh the most, I'll choose the former every single time. So far there are 2 companies that let you do this. This one seems like it will be half the price.
