Which one/what is the gateway? Is it the chest pack?
The gateway is the low slung front pack. It clips into the lower shoulder straps and rides in front. It's got a water bottle pocket, a good sized zippered pocket, and a security pocket. It's great to carry some food, headlamp, map, gps, gloves, stocking cap, etc.
I'll be honest, when Kevin was developing the Gateway I thought it looked kind of gimmicky. Then he sent me one to test out, and I've been in love with it ever since. It's one of those things that you think looks funny until you use it.
Thanks! I'll take a look at one. Though I use a Longhunter, I can see more sense in having alot of the stuff I keep in the lid pocket in the Gateway instead. That said, those of us with big bellies might find the location a bit more cumbersome...
