Best Wicking T I'll give another vote to Duofold, which I find to be lighter and dry faster than anything else I've tried. Capilene is greatly overrated from my experience on the wicking, drying, comfort... |

Pentax Optio 5Si I purchased the Pentax Optio 5Si and an extra proprietary battery with a 1GB memory card for a 9-day hiking trip. The camera, card, and extra battery weigh less than 5 ounces. The new Optio WP ca... |

Granite Gear Nimbus Ozone I've used this pack for 4 AT section hikes in Virginia and New Hampshire. This is a very comfortable pack at 25-30 pounds, with the ability to carry 35-40 if you really, really need to. I'm fine wi... |

Jolt Gum I find that I rarely require caffeine when I'm backpacking, so I only brought several pieces of Jolt to chew when I knew a major climb was coming up. Frankly, the taste wasn't all that good and I real... |

Integral Designs eVENT Shortie Gaiters Great combination of waterproofness and breathability. I wouldn't wear them otherwise. Can't beat the weight either. I don't seem to have problems with rocks getting in from the top, but it only to... |

Six Moon Designs Lunar Solo The first generation Lunar Solo is a 1.5 person sil-nyl single wall with a lot of protected mesh in a great side-entry design. It even gives you a vestibule for your boots and some equipment! Uses a... |

Snow Peak Gigapower Ti Great little, lightweight stove: 3.2 oz (mfr stated) with piezo ignition, which I have found to work just fine and provides further convenience. Used with a windscreen I can easily go 9 days on a... |
