Re: Re: Casio Pathfinder Triple Sensor Watches... I've had a Suunto watch for a year and now realise that although I don't NEED an ABC watch it is nice to have, more for interest rather than crucial information. Like Roger I have used t... |

Re: nike dri fit I use the Dri Fit shorts most of the time, for hiking and running. They're light, dry quick and the slightly shiny finish means they don't bind under other layers. I would prefer to wear me... |

Re: Pinnacle I'll be using my Pinnacle this winter. I think it's perfect for winter loads where you need to carry plenty of bulky insulation. True, you'd be hard pressed to squeeze a dSLR in ther... |

Allen and Mike's Backcountry Ski Book Pretty much the bible when it comes to winter backcountry travel and camping, and not just on skis. Knowledgeable, interesting, humorous and Mike's illustrations are cute and technically astute. ... |

Terra Nova Laser Competition Couldn't agree more with the other reviewer. It's a cinch to set up and while there are a couple of obvious tiny compromises to keep the weight low (single zip on the door, etc) it really is a... |

Thermarest Neo-Air I purchased the Short version of this much lauded/derided sleeping mat and have to say it proved to be nothing less than exceptional. I'm a smidge over 6 feet and around 190lbs and once I realised... |

Inov-8 Debrisgaiter I agree with Sam's review above. The Inov-8 Debris Gaiter is almost perfect. The fit and functionality of the product was just what I was looking for when trail running and backpacking. Stretch... |

Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spoon I swapped my previously beloved Primus folding Ti spork for the Alphalight spoon (long version) for a couple of reasons. The Alphalight is longer (no more messy knuckles when eating freeze-dried meals... |
