Gobi Gear Hobo Roll Review, on the road in New Zealand

  • 11 years ago
When I'm home in Australia my job involves producing promotional videos for various business. This can require some travel and usually means most of my luggage allowance is taken up by camera gear. Gobi Gear sent me their Hobo Roll to review and I have brought it with me on my current New Zealand trip, where I am producing videos for a winery.
The Hobo Roll is a five compartment compression pack that Gobi Gear claims can reduce luggage volume by 50%. I've found the Hobo Roll very handy in keeping all my personal luggage separate from my video production gear. I find I can keep all my personal effects in the Hobo Roll and the five compartments allow me to organise my gear into categories eg jeans, shirts, underwear, toiletries.

Gobi Gear try to use recycled or post consumer materials whenever possible. There motto is travel and tread lightly. Which is great because it really ties in with the winery I'm currently working for, Yealands Estate. They are the most sustainable winery in the world and their motto is, 'Think Boldly, Tread Lightly and never say it can't be done.'
The wine sampled in the video is a Yealands Estate Pinot Noir 2001, single vineyard variety from the Awatere Valley.
