Re: experience with fit? hello, this is a great shirt. I use it for winter running as well as just around town. Unfortunatly the material does snag and the fit is pretty baggy. I am 6'4" 200lbs and the large f... |

Re: Re: flyroc vs Roclite I agree with Chris. I also noticed that the Flyroc has a wider feeling base giving the user more stability. The downside of this is it feels somewhat sloppy on technical terrain which is where th... |

Re: Big Pack Advice another vote for Nimbus Ozone or Catalyst. I would personally choose the ULA. |

Re: JMT resupply for 2 My wife and I tried this last year and were unable to fit it all in one BV500. So I carried the BV500 with the bulk amount of the food and we rented a second canister for overflow. From first han... |

Re: Which Pack?(Gossamer, MLD, MLA) You really can't go wrong with either. I have a ULA Circuit, Conduit and an MLD Super Zip (now the Exodus) and they are all super high quality. Only differences would really be personal prefe... |

Princeton Tec EOS I have been using the EOS-R for alittle under a year now and have been super happy with it. For some odd reason I find night-time winter trail running "fun" and this is the only headlamp I ... |

ULA Circuit I purchased this pack alittle over a year ago and simply put, this may be one of the best overall trekking packs for hikers with a well dialed kit. While it is alittle much for a weekend trip it is g... |

Six Moon Designs Europa First off I must say that for the vast majority of my trips I strongly prefer a tarp/bivy combo. But for those times when I need a full tent, the Europa has always worked pretty darn well for me. Wh... |

Golite Umbrella 3 Months ago my wife and I were walking the Wilderness trail out to our car on a rainy Sunday morning. As we walked down the trail we were approached by a traditional packer wearing a kilt (yes a mal... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest While this is def not a highly coveted drool inducing piece of kit, it is one of those items I never realized how much I depend on. Being 6'4" A torso sized pad is just not enough for me. B... |

Arc FlashLight Arc AAA I am actually pretty surprised that no one has submitted a review for this little beauty. As far as lighting goes I am pretty sure this is the most versatile light sources I own. I have carried it o... |

Vargo Triad As others have stated, this thing is terrible. It has a great look to it that seems to promise functionality but once you go to use it you will find the opposite. Get a Caldera Cone instead!!!! |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 As a trail shoe I do not think it gets much better than the Flyroc's. With their forefoot space, amazing trail feel and fast drying mesh they are pretty close to perfect for New England hiking. ... |

Backpacking Light STIX (2008) All in all a great trekking pole. It is durable,light and very stiff. I have taken several dives on them and they have held up very well. My only complaint is that the tip and grip area are not repl... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip As other users have stated this is a great pack. For 90% of my hiking this is my goto pack. From DIAD hikes up to several days out this is a great size pack with loads of utility and great functiona... |
