Sleeping Pad Advice with Quilt I usually sleep with my girlfriend under a quilt style sleeping bag. We use Feathered Friend bags one is a 20F and the other a 40F. We even sleep on snow with this. We have been using 3/8" edge loc... |

Re: Re: MELTING SNOW: adding snow... This is great and exactly what I was looking for. It looks like the Coleman is clearly the winner in my opinion since it has close to the fastest time and uses less fuel and has the benefits of a g... |

stove to melt snow I only have two cannister stoves at present, and they only work ok for melting snow. Which stove is the best for this? I'm thinking it's a liquid fuel type. I would use it to melt for two people, s... |

Re: Bladder It's nice to have both a hard plastic water vessel and the plastic bladder for on the go trail drinking. As for drying my plastic bladder, I don't even try. I store mine in my freezer whenever ... |

Re: Features to consider in a winter climbing shell? Ryan, at what time in your activities do you prefer the hardshell? For ski mountaineering I like the Patagonia core skin for anytime I'm moving around becuase it's so breathable and comfortable.... |

Epic or Quantum for Down Sleeping Bag? I'm about to order a 40 or 30 degree sleeping bag from Feathered Friends. I live in the Pacific NW and will use it year round under tarp or tent protection. I was originally thinking epic but I hav... |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad First, when this works, it's the best pad that I know of. It's so comfortable, light and packs small. My girlfriend and I bought two when they came out. We always use foam pads that lock together ... |

Patagonia Houdini Wind Jacket This thing packs so small that I can fit it in my pants pocket. Super light, full zip and has a decent hood. It's extremely versatile, blocks wind, adds warmth, and is very breathable. I can't see how... |

Wild Things Epic Wind Shirt Very poor breathability. If I'm wearing this and active, it becomes pretty wet and clammy inside. Every other windshirt I've tried has been much more breathable which is what I prefer. |

Western Mountaineering Summer Coupler Great concept (that's why it gets 2 and not a 1), but why does it weigh 1 lb 4oz!? That's more than their summer sleeping bags. What size pad is it designed for? Since it tapers from about 30" near th... |

Patagonia R1 Balaclava For 2 oz this is so versatile and adds so much warmth it comes on all of my trips. What 2 oz gives as much warmth? I swear that it adds 15 degrees to my sleeping set up too - but that's just my take. |
