Reviews
[August 29, 2017] Each NASAR guide is made from waterproof, tear resistant "paper." I tried to tear them. No dice. Weighing in at 22g each, the guides pack a lot of knowledge in a small package. Though true ultralighters may not want to add 1.5 oz to their packs and mess up that sub-8 pound base weight, us mere mortals won't notice the extra tonnage. And, quite frankly, having the equivalent of a SAR refresher course in your pocket is worth the weight and cost. * Engearment.com *
