I’m not sure why the new NU25 gets so much hate from the influencers. I love it. I never had the old one though so maybe I don’t know what I’m missing.

@Andy-Mesa 9 месяцев назад

The old one is smaller, lighter, and has better lighting options.

They ruined the new NU25 by removing the 1 lumen mode. It’s super useful.

@Tomtomoutdoors 9 месяцев назад

I agree there

@Awomaninthewilderness 9 месяцев назад

Justin, I'm a big fan of yours not only for your backpacking videos, but also your honest and valued opinions on gear. I agree with your FAIL of the NU25, the headband is terrible and gets tangled easily. Thanks to you I have purchased the Black Diamond Deploy and I love it!

@tt-of4xv 9 месяцев назад

Interesting. I was hesitating between those two and was about to get the nitecore. You're talking about the UL headband (shock cord), right ? I couldn't find much feedback about the BD deploy from the ultralight community and I had a bad experience with a BD Spot (failed in multiple ways during my last hike..)

@Awomaninthewilderness 9 месяцев назад

@@tt-of4xv My apologies, yes the shock cord is annoying. As for the Black Diamond Deploy, I think it's easily the better of the two. The Deploy has a longer run time, a strap headband and if you a gram counter like me it's lighter than the NU-25. What's interesting the Deploy incorporates a variable angle lens so there's no need to adjust the light up and down with your hand. NU-25 = 46 grams Black Diamond Deploy = 39 grams.

@phd001 9 месяцев назад

I am in the minority but I love the new nu 25. If someone wants something like the old nu 25 the nu 21 is more similar

@TrekOfficiel 9 месяцев назад

Dubitative as for your comments on the Duplex. How can you tell this is a fail for this year, and at the same time just praise the X-Mid hiding the fact this tent not only have zippers, but double the amount on each fly? I own the Durston, and also own a Dipole Li. Both phenomenal tents. I just felt this way of shooting the Duplex down to place the X-Mid right after wasn’t fair :)

@maxwellerickson7066 9 месяцев назад

I don't think Justin explained himself as well as he could have there, but I believe he was specifically saying that the zipper design on the Zpacks was not as well-thought-out as it could have been. It adds more complexity to what was already a pretty simple tent as well.

@lewisjevons52 7 месяцев назад

I think the Big Agnes matt is a 'fail' that won't affect a lot of weekend warriors. I switched from the neo-air because of poor comfort and find the BA much more comfortable. I'm rarely below freezing, so the insulation isn't really as much of a concern. That being the case, it's still probably the best 2-3 season pad for weekend warriors.

@dansworld9635 9 месяцев назад

@4:06 Get the NU21. (This is what NC should have upgraded the NU25 to.) 👍 Nitecore NU21 360 Lumen Ultra Lightweight Outdoor Headlamp Dual Beam USB-C Rechargeable Headlight

@improbablehandle 9 месяцев назад

I like the NU21, but I had to swap out the elastic for something longer because my head is preternaturally large.

@markheming3507 9 месяцев назад

Justin and I 100% love all of your videos and maybe I am the odd duck out but I don’t understand the love for tents. I have always been a hammock, guy or when ground sleeping just simply a tarp guy

@deKampeerwijzer 6 месяцев назад

What is this quite modern habit of identifying yourself with stuff? I hear it only Americans do. So, you like to use a hammock. Being a 'hammock guy': did advertisers tell you you can't use other products? Like forever? Sleep at home also in a hammock? You don't own it that way, the stuff owns you!

@coachhannah2403 8 месяцев назад

At my age, I cannot reach pack pockets anyway, so rely on belt pockets instead. But my trail bottle is a 16oz aluminum with screw top so it fits.

@millerhoo 9 месяцев назад

I agree with you on the exos 55 pro. I really think you should try the Durston 55 to compare and contrast to Flash 55 and Zpacks.

@johnshellenberg1383 9 месяцев назад

I don't have a Z-Packs tent, but I've seen other reviews that show the shortcomings of the fly closing on the non-zipper model and how it can let weather in, etc. I'd be willing to accept the extra complexity of the zipper for better weather protection, and the zippers on the fly is one advantage I thought the Durston had over the Duplex.

@user-hh6ex9md4w 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the backpacking gear! It's always helpful to hear feedback from others who have experienced different products. On the topic of outdoor gear, have you heard about the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series? It's a versatile power station that offers massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging. It's a great option for outdoor enthusiasts like us who value reliability and convenience. Let me know if you'd like more information!

Very surprising on the Exos Pro, I have an Exos 58 (non pro) myself and it's been great

@JustinOutdoors 9 месяцев назад

I've heard people love the non-pro (and even know of some people that love the pro) but I had too many points of issue with it and Osprey's reply was essentially "working as intended".

@tt-of4xv 9 месяцев назад

@@JustinOutdoors The crazy thing with Osprey is that every time they update the exos they fix something they broke earlier and brake a new thing oO

@AnthologyOfTravels 9 месяцев назад

Exos pro is truly terrible. The trampoline is way too soft and it bounced all the time at a 14kg load. I have multiple holes and a rip after a 10 day / 200 mile hike. The stupid design of the back length adjuster is so annoying, you have to redo it every time you put the pack down and check it when you pick it up. Every single time. Oh, and all the webbing is tiny and shiny, so it continually pulls through - walk 10 minutes, readjust the shoulder straps, 10 minutes later readjust the hip belt etc etc all day long.

@Ryan-1337 7 месяцев назад

Really wanted to try out the new nemo tensor for a winter pad as I do not have a winter pad yet. I recently did my first winter mountain trip and loved it. Used my helix but the Cascades were a bit to cold for it. I noticed on Expeds USA site they have the Ultra 7r for $120 and i've seen some decent reviews for it. Also, you seem to like the 5r so I picked up a 7r for super cheap (to good of a price to pass up). Wondered if you had any experience with it? Love the channel and pack wizard, good stuff dude.

@kiwideann5632 9 месяцев назад

I did the same pillow mods with my HMG Pod on my AT Thru in 2019. Same Zpacks stickon loops, bungy and buff.

@theoutdoordogandhikinggirl 9 месяцев назад

I will take the zpacks 😅 Great video. I am thinking about the defy as well because it is so affordable. Mostly we can simply use our cell phones here in Europe so I would use it very rarely and than this one is so much more nicely priced in the subscription than the Garmin and Zoleo.

@BackcountryPilgrim 9 месяцев назад

Not as good satellite connection in my experience so far but the rest of the stats are a win!

@petercourtney7125 9 месяцев назад

REI Flash or Decathlon MT900? I like the look of the vertical zip on the MT900, but unsure of comfort. I'm in Europe, so I couldn't return the REI.

@sueb860 9 месяцев назад

Wouldn't the sleeve in the back of the Trekology Aluft Plus pillow be considered a "pocket" also? That's how I've been using my cover for 2 years now. I put my down jacket in the back "sleeve" for the extra lift.

@davejob4017 8 месяцев назад

You are either Just in or outdoors you cant be both dude!!

@EternityForest 9 месяцев назад

I like the Sofirn HS10 headlamp, it's cheap, has USB-C and moonlight, and replaceable 16340 batteries. I use a 3D printed screw top can to carry an extra battery. I also have a Trustfire T40R handheld light for far away stuff. but there's no red mode, and I'm just camping not doing super long hikes, so I'm not sure if there's different requirements.

@33v5 9 месяцев назад

I’ve had two of the new NU25s, they look cool, have usb C…But my old nu25 is still my go to, the first new one died after getting a quick river crossing dunk even though my phone and everything else was fine. The UL version is better than the standard, standard would fall apart at the mounting bracket mid trail run. After losing the group to put my headlamp back together a couple of times I stopped using it.

@janefreeman995 9 месяцев назад

@JustinOutdoors 9 месяцев назад

The old NU25 was great (other than microUSB). The new one is bulkier, has a terrible "UL" headband, is missing a 1 lumen mode, and the buttons are not as quick to use.

@BackcountryPilgrim 9 месяцев назад

The NU25 is beloved because if what it was, not what it is now.

@commentsonthetube14 9 месяцев назад

The old nu25 is universally loved. The new one is a pain in the ass. Too many useless modes. If they'd just made incremental updates to the old one like USB c , better charge indicators, and new LEDs, it would have been a home run. The dual primary LEDs was a huge mistake.
