Re: Feedback
I have a different opinion on rain pants. Getting your legs wet isn't really a problem, it's wet and cold that's the problem. You already have wind pants on your list. Combine those ...

Re: Re: NeoAir Pad -- Too Cool??
"How much temp boost do you think I can expect by adding a 1/8th" GG pad?" My guess is about 5-8F. But just a guess. I've also used the neoair on snow with a 3/8" pad d...

Re: Re: Help lower pack weight
You don't really need a backup light. The XP2 has a battery indicator. But I carried a little photon light (1/4 oz) that I used a couple of times when I let the batteries run down. Nice to h...

Re: Re: bounce
