Montbell Spiral bag rating I've used the MB Spiral (long) on several spring and late fall trips into the Grand Canyon, with night time temps dropping no further than the low 40's. I am a midrange sleeper in terms of ... |

Gossamer Gear customer service I've bought many pieces of gear from Gossamer over the years, from major purchases (tarp, tent) to minor ones. Their customer service has always been superb. In fact, I ordered one of their 1/8... |

Grand Canyon gear I've been hiking various parts of the Canyon for 15 years, and have spent the vast majority of my nights out in the open, enjoying the stars. I've never had a close encounter with either a ... |

Inov-8 Roclite 390 XCR I am 55 years old and have chronic pain in my right ankle from a severe sprain. Until last week, I believed that I was destined to wear heavy, full leather boots until my last hike. Then I read some p... |

Therm-A-Rest Pro-Lite 4 As a tall (6'2") and finicky sleeper, I decided to indulge myself by taking the Thermarest Prolite 4 Large sleeping pad on a recent week-long hike in the Grand Canyon. This pad was the heavie... |

Osprey Aether 60 I have used the Aether 60 on a series of Grand Canyon hikes, with decreasing loads as I trim my base pack weight. At the outset of a 6 day hike, carrying 2+ qts. of water, I now carry about 25 lbs. I ... |
