Well made, good embroidery and stitching, and sizes ranges seem spot on.
While the Trophyline Pocket Pull Up Rope may not have mechanical retraction of the hoist line, there is also no mechanism to break, which is always a plus in backcountry hunting. The silicon reel is extremely durable, and features lips on the edge of the reel which not only simply control how the line plays out while you ascend---but also make it easy to wind the line back in once you've brought your bow and/or equipment up. I've attached mine to a round HMS carabiner, attached to a Molle loop on my saddle via a cobra-knotted paracord length, and it allows the reel of the Pull Up Rope to wheel very easily. There are a variety of other creative ways that could be applied to the same effect. Very happy with this, and would recommend it over any of the spring/mechanical retrieval options out there.
Good pack, lots of storage for all my stuff. I bought it primarily for turkey season and the pack provides a lot of good ways to keep things organized, I carry 3 slates w/ 4 strikers, a few mouth calls and a box call. every slate has its own little pouch.Thermacell also fits perfectly in one of the straps that's on the sling, w/ some molly for additional tie downs. Quality of the pack seems to be solid and its been a great addition to my setup. I also like how easy it is to access the pockets while on the move. If i had to give a couple critiques... I wish i could tighten it more so it didn't hang so low on me, zippers are good quality but I'd like for them to be quieter when zipping/unzipping and it'd be cool if there was a way to secure your concealed carry pistol in one of the larger pouches. Mine kind of rotates around slightly as i hike. All in all though, I'd 100% buy it again (especially for the price point) and appreciated the customer service throughout the ownership transition.
