Montbell Ex Light Vest or WM Flash Vest? I just went with a Cabela's down vest, on sale for $16.95. But then again, I can be kind of a cheapskate. I do love my WM bag; if the vests are anything like it, they must be wonderful. |

GoLite Footwear Competition and Fire Reviews The first pair of GoLites I bought for my son wore out in a 9 mile hike up Guadelupe Peak. The last few pairs I've bought (of the older models) have lasted pretty well. |

Women's GoLite Jam - $50, free shipping The great deals are always on women's specific gear. Probably a lack of demand. |

Andrew Skurka's "big" Alaska trek Sounds like the perfect sponsorship opportunity for SPOT Messenger. And Smith & Wesson. You know, I can't even imagine thinking something like this up, let alone thinking I could do it. |

You Tell Me...What is the Best Gear Ever??? Insulated air mattress (not a self inflator). Otherwise a lot of us old guys couldn't sleep well enough to backpack. |

Andrew Skurka's "big" Alaska trek If I was attempting that, I think I would have to carry a PLB, despite my dislike of them. And something for bears. He should have a naming contest. I just hope it doesn't end up being the &quo... |

Quilt vs. Bag Using a quilt is like sleeping at home, unless you use a mummy bag on your bed. Campers used blankets for a long time before the sleeping bag, let alone the mummy bag was invented. |

DIY Quilt I'd sell it, and but down. 800 fill down is only $8 oz. |

ULA Catalyst Replaced my Exos 58 with this, much more comfortable, with more weight. Got a deal on a 2008 model, and added the dual stays. A lot bigger pack than I'll use most of the time. Gained some weight o... |

ULA Circuit Switched to this for more durability, and the ability to carry more water in the desert. Works like a champ, and you couldn't ask for better customer service. |

Osprey Exos 58 I have to ding it a little for the hip belt. I think the hip belts on the large runs small, because it didn't wrap around me enough to be effective. And that may not be fair to ding it, because al... |

Golite Ultra 20 Mine kept me warm in the upper 20s, so I'm happy. I'm not completely sure it would reach 20, and keep you warm for 8 hours. But it's a great product for a great price. |
