Re: Re: Re: BPL Forum Update Somehow despite the dated software, and obnoxious mid-thread ads, this remained one of the best forums I spend time on, because of the people. Now you've just shut a huge number of them out, wi... |

Mountain Laurel Designs eVent Rain Mitts After so many positive things having been written about the rain mitts, I confess I have been a bit disappointed with mine. The good: the 2 layer fabric is ultralight without being impractically f... |

Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack Note: rating based on 3 different sacks purchased sometime over 2007->early 2008. Reports suggest that later versions of these sacks have improved, but I'll never buy another one. I strongly su... |

Bozeman Mountain Works Torsolite Pad It leaks. I've only used it for perhaps 30 nights over the last year/18 months (when it's warm enough I normally just use a foam pad), and I've already fixed 4 leaks in 2 separate leak fin... |

Bozeman Mountain Works Cocoon Pullover (This is a review for the hooded version) Great materials and absolute minimum of features + weight. The hood is nicely adjustable, with both a simple velcro volume adjuster, and drawcords around t... |

Cocoon Vest Vest Top materials and an absolute minimum of features make this a perfect vest - *on paper*. However the shape & fit spoil it for me. Firstly the vest is waay to baggy in the torso: even without... |
