CT, WM sleeping bag dilemma My Summerlight has been my go-to bag for several years. I love it! If I know it is going to be a cold night, which it usually is in the high Sierras, I can layer up. I might have to try a quilt one... |

Injinji Socks I'm in the same boat as Elizabeth on this issue. I thought they did a decent job of preventing some blisters, but I think 'airing' out your socks and feet regularly work better for me a... |

Zimmerbuilt Half-Dome, modified I have owned many packs with some features I liked and dis-liked on each one, so I decided to give the custom order pack method a shot. After a less than pleasant experience with Kooka bay, I went int... |

Osprey Talon 44 I picked up this pack with my REI dividend and have been taking it for a lot of 'test-runs' in the hills and have come to really love it's fit. I have switched between trying out a SMD Swi... |

Six Moons Designs 2011 Swift I have had a chance to do a quick test run of my new Swift pack with pocket hipbelt, and no stays. I am really impressed with how this pack rides! I loaded it up with about 20 pounds and took it for a... |

KookaBay air mattress Edit - If I could, I would do two seperate ratings here. The pad would rate a 4, but customer sevice and response time would be a 1. I'll give it an average of 2.5. I got the pad and overall it... |

MSR Mountain Safety Research HyperFlow microfilter At first I just loved this filter, it had all of the qualities of a good filter; fast pumping, compact, and light. I used it in the Sierra's, in clear water, following the backflushing instruction... |
