I rented some backpacking gear from Peak Adventure...

I rented some backpacking gear from Peak Adventures. It was supposed to be my first backpacking trip, however was canceled due to bad weather.

Their gear is really good and I was impressed. The backpacks were super nice Deuter packs. The sleeping bags were 15 degree bags and the 2-man tent was really awesome too. I'm super bummed I didn't get to use them. I will definitely rent from them again, if I get another chance to go backpacking.

I think for 2 backpacks, 2 sleeping bags, 2 sleeping mats and a 2-man tent, the total cost to rent was maybe $110. The deposit was about $900. So it was quality gear.

Their customer service was excellent and I was able to ask them to hold my gear until my trip. I just had to pay the rental fee in advance. I believe they had 4-day and 7-day rentals. I had to opt for the 7-day just because of the long weekend and timing.

My only wish is that their hours were longer or that they were open on the weekends, but you can't have everything. ;) I also wish they had special parking since it is at Sac State. Parking can be difficult during class times.
