Save the weight... Take a silk liner to keep your funk off your expensive sleeping bag. As for dedicated sleeping clothes, the only thing I bring is socks. Then I usually go to sleep with the minimum (base) layers ... |

Re: MLD packs have mesh/ back external pad pockets? | Am I missing something? MLD packs, do not feature an | actual removable, padded hip-belt, nor do they have an | external mesh back pad pocket, like a Gossamer Gear pack | does. No, you are ... |

Re: Perfect pack Yes, I have. In fact, some of my changes I listed came straight from Ron's line. For the record, I own a bivy and a custom tarp from him and use them every trip. The main thing missing fro... |

Re: UL Bivy Another argument for the MLD Bivy is that it is the *only* bivy I've had that I didn't wake up with moisture in the foot area (i.e. outside of my sleeping bag, inside of the bivy). I attri... |

My perfect pack -- a hybrid that doesn't yet exist. If you could design your perfect pack, what would it be? Does it already exist? Do you already have it? Here is mine: Take a ULA Conduit, my current pack that I love -- original, not the ne... |

Re: BPL LW Pack 2009 1. Absolutely not. 2. Skip. 3. Side pockets only, but what about making one side a double a la GG Mariposa/Miniposa? The bottom one being tilted forward for easy bottle access. 4. A cinch-top w... |

It would be perfect... It would be perfect for me if it had a 1/2 zip. The cut, as far as I can see on the RL-esque pictures :), looks a lot like the Patagonia Wool 4 Hoody. Obviously much, much lighter. |

Re: UL Bivy I have a few UL bivies and use my Mountain Laurel Designs Sould Side Zip Bivy pretty much exclusively now. |

Re: Down booties - do you bring 'em? I was highly skeptical of the FF down booties until my first visit to their retail store. Simply put, get them without hesitation. There are cheaper ones on the market, but they just don't co... |

REI dividend I've got just about everything I need. I'll likely use mine to finally buy a bike rack and maybe a new pair of bouldering shoes, if I have enough left over :) |

SteriPen Adventurer My only complaints tend to line up the same as those from others. It seems, although I can't prove a shred of this, that they are in cahoots with Nalgene as bottles from said manufacturer are the... |

Icebreaker Balaclava Lite Nice little piece of headgear here. Impressive how much warmth it adds when on your head. My typical setup is wearing a Tilly hat during an entire trip and adding the balaclava when I need some wa... |

Montane Featherlite I have a story to tell, and this is why I'll never get rid of this "Wind"shirt. I guess it's been almost 2 years now, Hurricane Rita was passing through. You know, the one that c... |

Icebreaker Skin 200 boxer briefs I recently just ditch wearing Smartwool Micro weight boxer-briefs for these from Icebreaker. I am an immediate convert. Pros: 1) MUCH more durable. Smartwool developed wear holes soon after us... |

Ibex Woolies Rib Zip T-Neck I completely concur with everything the previous reviewer stated. Just as fair warning, like stated above, the little ribs in the fabric do make it clingy. However, this does give it the ideal effec... |

ULA Conduit This is indeed a great little pack. On a past trip, one of my accompanying backpackers made a comment about how it looked like a oversized daypack...that made me smile. Don't let that generalization... |
