Stephenson's Service I bought a used Warmline 2RS. One of the inner zippers was bad and I called Stephenson's for advice. After speaking with both father and son, we concluded that the zipper slider (and not the z... |

Soulo and Jannu, follow-up One final bias I have. While a single wall tent will save some weight, a double wall will be significantly warmer. Again, the ultralight crowd will say it is a bigger weight cost than just having... |

Hilleberg Soulo and Jannu So I have also contemplated the Soulo. I have a Jannu, the 2 and a half person dome tent also made by Hilleberg. So far I have held off getting a 1 person Hilleberg for the following reason: The ... |

Hilleberg Soulo The Soulo is not replacing the Unna. It is a more minimalist version of the Staika, with 3 poles crossing at the top and a small vestibule. I have tried out an Unna, and though it does not have a... |

Re: Montbell sleeping pads I have a 120, a good size for someone on the tall side. The montbell online store has always given great service. They replaced my Peak Shell no questions asked after it developed a small tear. ... |

Re: Safety? For a lot less dough, you can get the B-rated CAMP XLA 210 ice axe (7.4 oz). Less than 3 oz more in weight, and you're getting a tool from a company that's been providing mountaineering to... |

Re: The right pack for the job My highly opinionated reply: Ultralighters are vulnerable to counting ounces and believing that less ounces means better hiking performance on their part. This IS NOT necessarily true. If your p... |

Golite Ion For most folks, this 1500 cubic inch entity will be a daypack. My daypack of choice, too. At 9 oz, I forget I'm wearing it. It is basically a sack with a zipper lid. No pockets, compression st... |

GoLite Galaxy This is the bigger version of the GoLite Infinity, which has now been replaced by the Odyssey and Quest. 4600 ci (75 L) size L (3250 ci main compartment + 850 ci pockets + 500 ci extension collar... |

GoLite Jam2 I have used this for short ultralight overnight trips, peak bagging and long day trips to great satisfaction. GoLite has struck a good balance between sturdiness and light weight. I could slide an... |

Gossamer Gear G6 Whisper I'm yet another user to note how fragile this thing is. I thought I was fairly gentle but put a hole in the bottom during some bushwacking/summit trips. The sturdier material for the pack ba... |

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Pad My wife and I both enjoy these pads. As a side sleeper I'm frequently uncomfortable on foam pads. Far from "ultralight" - I prefer to go "light" and comfortable - this item i... |

Feathered Friends Swallow, 2 lbs, 20 deg, Epic Fabric A very nice bag from an eminent manufacturer. The Epic fabric breaths well and is fairly water resistant to condensation. The full zipper version can be employed to make it quilt-like. Feathere... |

Camp XLH95 Harness When it comes to climbing, and the increased risks it confers relative to backpacking, I think its best not to choose ultralight over safety. This amazingly light harness is still UIAA/CE certified. ... |

Hilleberg Jannu A spacious and lightweight dome tent that is increasingly recommended for 8000m peaks. Minimum weight of 5.5 lbs, 36.6 square feet plus 13 sq ft vestibule. 3 aluminum pole design. There is a single... |

Big Sky Products Evolution 2P A spectacularly light tent. It's niceties have been well extolled on this site so I will dwell on some limitations. As with many ultralight products, this product is not ultra-strong. But w... |

Jetboil Personal Cooking System Very reliable, compact and easy to use. I've calculated that you can boil 2 cups of water up to 20 times using a typical 100g canister ($3-4). A very clever design makes it very efficient in tranf... |
