PI 3
For years, Advance’s PI series has offered the best Hike & Fly package in terms of lightness in combination with performance and a definite fun factor. The “Light Versatility” motto will carry even higher significance in this third generation, PI 3: there are two additional 21 and 25 sizes, and it is even lighter and more compact.
Purchase also includes lightpack, compress bag, repair kit and mini windsock.
