Cuben fibre custom knickers Could you provide further comment on these custom knickers? I find 3/4 length pants very useful in the shoulder seasons and until I read this article I hadn't considered this material/fabric. |

re: Serenity Shelter I typically set the front pole at about 45 or 46 inches; the rear somewhat lower, but typicaly about 36 inches to start. I will of course lower the poles for nasty weather. The lowest I can get my... |

ZPacks Arc Blast - Preliminary Observations Two hip belt pockets, and one shoulder pouch. As that Duane said: just under one pound. As always Steve, nice to see a shot of the sisters. |

ZPacks Arc Blast - Preliminary Observations I haven't had a chance to take this out on a hike yet, but my first impressions are very positive. The workmanship seems first rate, and I can see no evidence of loose or sloppy stitching. Th... |

Tarp and Serenity combinations Just to complicate things, as someone else mentioned it: the Patrol Shelter and Serenity Shelter combination works very well. |

Grace Duo and Serenity Shelter. I've always use stakes when using the Serenity with my Grace tarp, and generally speaking I get a reasonably taut pitch. |

RE: Brian Frankle and Six Moon Designs. Oh yeah. I own packs made by both Brian and Ron - I expect to see great things from this team. |

Re: IT IS A STATE OF MIND Well, of course we'll all break down some day - no one escapes that. When it comes to back packing capability (endurance, speed, etc) I really think I am pretty much the same as I was in my f... |

Melanzana micro grid hoody The previous reviewers have covered all the bases, and I'm not going to improve on them. This is a fine piece of clothing; well designed, well made, and extraordinarily comfortable. Love the usef... |

Thermarest Neo-Air I would second or endorse all of the enthusiastic comments concerning the comfort and warmth of the Thermarest Neo-Air, but unfortunately this is irrelevant, as I cannot keep air in the thing over the... |

STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast I'll just chime in with my agreement. I never would have imagined that I would consider instant coffee, but this stuff is very good. The price however, takes some of the joy out of the brew. |

BPL Blow-Up Pillow I've used the dual chamber version of a couple of years now, and I like it. I had durability concerns of course, but the fact is I am only on my second pillow. I agree that partial inflation is ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Grace Duo Spectralite Tarp At current prices for Spectralite 60, this tarp makes for a credit card statement to hide from one's wife! This is not a complaint - just a simple statement of fact. What can I say? The tar... |

ULA Amp This was my first experience with a frameless pack, and I must say I am very pleased. The construction/workmanship is as expected with Brian Frankel's products - flawless. I did have reservation... |

Kelly Kettle The boys in the office presented me with one of these kettles as a retirement gift, and I must admit it sat in my gear closet for quite a while - I just couldn't see the utility of the thing. I h... |

Trail Designs Caldera Stove As with the previous reviewer, 5/5 for efficiency, simplicity and ease of use. It is an absolute delight not to have to fiddle with flimsy windscreens. I have the cone fitted for the .9 litre Vargo p... |

Six Moon Designs StarLite I am in absolute agreement with the previous reviewer as to the qualities of this fine pack. Mine has seen heavy use for the past two years with no sign of wear. I differ in one respect in that I do... |
