I’ve used the Trailblazer on multiple cross-country trips and it fits perfectly in my backpack. The weight is minimal and it performs well in both rivers and lakes. Easy to set up and store.

Great for ultralight hiking. The 6-piece design saves space and the rods are sturdy enough for daily use. A bit stiff in fast-moving water, but overall reliable.
