Re: Re: Why do women prefer a tent? Hi Brad, I don't think people are quite that judgmental about tent users :) For the record, I camp in a lot of rain and clouds of sandflies, and still prefer my 'tarp'-like shelter ... |

Re: Open-ness One of the things that made me hesitate about shifting to a tarp (from a tent) was the 'dirty' factor, eg getting my bag or stuff muddy/dirty. But it really isn't a problem, a bivy b... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Princeton Tec EOS Actually, the LF2 *would* do fine, just that it is somewhat of a compromise: it's twisty rather than clicky, which isn't as quick to adjust as the LD10. And clipped to a cap brim, it isn... |

Re: I like it. >I have been looking at the Fenix site all night and torn between the LD10 and LD01 AAA vs AA . I do like the Idea of the diffuser but don't know if it will work with the LD01 model. If y... |

Re: Re: Princeton Tec EOS >BTW, what IS the lightest regulated headlamp? PT Quad? Perhaps one of the Zebralights. My H501 is 59g (2.1oz) including one lithium AA. But it's only good for task lighting, the beam is ... |

Rab Vapour-rise trail pant sizing? Hi, was wondering if anyone could comment on the sizing of these? The Rab description has the slightly contradictory comment of "Close-fitting design ensures maximum freedom of movement&quo... |

FS: Patagonia R1 Hoody, size M, black Approx 4 months old, of which this top has mostly hung in my wardrobe or been packed in my bag. Near-new condition, no obvious signs of wear, it's probably only been worn on the trail for a... |

1 gram pegs Those 1 gram pegs are a joke on a tent. I bought some to stake out my bivy bag, and found them annoyingly flimsy even for that. They bend, turn, and yes, they are incredibly easy to lose (I lost 3 ... |

Mountain Laurel Designs eVent Rain Mitts After so many positive things having been written about the rain mitts, I confess I have been a bit disappointed with mine. The good: the 2 layer fabric is ultralight without being impractically f... |

Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack Note: rating based on 3 different sacks purchased sometime over 2007->early 2008. Reports suggest that later versions of these sacks have improved, but I'll never buy another one. I strongly su... |

Bozeman Mountain Works Torsolite Pad It leaks. I've only used it for perhaps 30 nights over the last year/18 months (when it's warm enough I normally just use a foam pad), and I've already fixed 4 leaks in 2 separate leak fin... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip (The MLD Zip is the precursor to the current 2009 Exodus - changes aren't huge, and all appear to be improvements). I've used the Zip for perhaps 1000km over several months - it's an ea... |

Backpacking Light Firelite SUL-500 Cookpot (This for the SUL-550, no handles) The Firelite SUL-550 is stripped down to the most minimal features: the pot + a lid, with a metal thickness that you wouldn't want it any thinner, but thick e... |

Bozeman Mountain Works Cocoon Pullover (This is a review for the hooded version) Great materials and absolute minimum of features + weight. The hood is nicely adjustable, with both a simple velcro volume adjuster, and drawcords around t... |

Cocoon Vest Vest Top materials and an absolute minimum of features make this a perfect vest - *on paper*. However the shape & fit spoil it for me. Firstly the vest is waay to baggy in the torso: even without... |
