Backpacks take a beating and are out in all weather conditions. They need to keep our gear safe, need to be versatile, usable, and be comfortable for long hikes. So, how does the new incarnation of the Tilopa, the Tilopa Duradiamond, fare on this?
Given the global pandemic of COVID-19 (and the year that shall not be named), I very quickly found out that I am indeed, contrary to previously held opinions, an extrovert (and not an introvert).

I’ve been an avid landscape photographer for many years, and I’ve been a drone flyer for almost 4 years. I liked the idea of getting landscape shots from angles I simply couldn’t get to from the ground. Living in Arizona, there’s a lot of opportunities to get some lovely images from the air.

This market process continues to make it possible for us to minimize sacrifices in image quality we once made when shooting in less than optimal conditions.
