Not Bad
Ibex has better merino gloves. Smartwool are the worst. I love my Ibex glove liners. Also, I bring 2 pairs of day socks and switch throughout the day.

Surly bikes are awesome. Salsa is in the same vein.

This question is tough. You're basically asking every single member of BPL what backpack they use, since almost all of us have 30-40L packs that weigh very little. I don't even want to t...

Exception to the Rule
Agree with Bob that we need to know what she shoots with. Waist pack on the hipbelt would be ideal, but I have yet to rig it. I have a 32" waist, so my buckles are like an inch from my hipb...

Mine's great!
