390 size I ordered mine a half size up to 11 and they are just right. I have a wide foot and am not comfy in medium widths. The extra half made these fit very well, if a teeny bit long. |

merino underwear and tee These are comfy and smell much less bad than anything else. I typically will wear the same stuff five days in a row with (at least to me, anyway) few odor problems. You can't do that with any s... |

MYOG pole extender While the DuoMid comes with an extension, I made my own a little longer - 8 inches IIRC - and moved the small plastic cap from the provided extender to my new one. I ordered some aluminum tubing an... |

Micro-tube filters I bought the Platy version. It lasted three liters and would not backwash. A waste of money. I'm going to try out a Frontier Pro + Cl tabs on my next trip. The ultimate filter is my MSR ceramic... |

DuoMid tieouts All four sides of my recently-purchased DuoMid have mid-height tieouts. |

just received mine 2 weeks ago All I can say is Wow! Very nice construction quality; nice compromise on features and weight. A basic four-stake setup right out of the box the first time took 60 seconds. In terms of room, it is a... |

one time... Once after a really stressful, tiring day, I set mine up freestanding on what was a really rocky, last resort site. Just too tired to pound in the pegs into that hard place. It was stormy that nigh... |

Pinnacle pack loads I have carried 30-32 lbs comfortably in my Pinnacle pack a couple of times with no trouble at all. The lack of frame does not seem to be a problem to me. I would not temp fate by trying any mor... |

Inov-8 Roclite 390 XCR I've only worn these on a couple of three-mile hikes around the neighborhood so far. The limited experience so far is very good. I even leak-tested them in a big rain puddle with no problems. I fo... |

Powerbar ProteinPlus These things are heavy-duty; good enough to help me make it through an afternoon's walking to dinner after a moderate lunch stop. They taste pretty decent; the 30-grams protein dulce de leche flav... |

Gossamer Gear Polycryo Ground Cloth(medium) I have used these in combination with my new MLD DuoMid for six nights now. Aside from being wrinkled up, you can't tell that they have been used. Light, compact to pack, tough and strong. What... |

Inov8 RocLite 318 GTX I've tried Montrail Hardrocks and a Garmont model - not sure which one, but a couple of years old and from REI - and both seem to allow my feet to get really sore by the end of a long day. Not so ... |

MLD XP Quilt 21 0z. Climashield I have the winter weight version of this quilt in the large size. It is more than long enough for me at 5' 11' and I could even scrunch my head underneath if needed. I have used the quilt f... |

BMW (BPL) UL 60 Balaclava I used this balaclava with my MLD XP quilt at about 38 degrees overnight. It is highly effective in this role. Amazingly warm for the weight. The fabric is soft and comfortable. I tried wearing it whi... |
