Re: Really? I agree with the Polar bear argument. If you've ever seen pictures of a mauling you'd want the whole army with you. Certain parts of Iceland a gun is apparently recommended gear for strol... |

Has anyone got an incredible idea for a vestible less tent I've just returned to the site after a long hiatus but I have a new question at hand. I have a MH waypoint 1 with no vestibule and may eventually get one of those tiny 2 man tents like the nem... |

Re: Is a Das right for me? If you want a yes or no answer I'd say get it, theres really nothing out there thats as light and as warm in a synthetic. Its a dream garment if you have any chance of fitting it in your pack |

Re: Soft shells without a membrane? People here love the Marmot driclime stuff, as well as the Rab vapour rise stuff from England if you can afford it. The cloudveil inertia peak with a hood seems pretty sweet also if thats what you... |

Smartwool Midweight Lomgsleeve Zip This thing is absolutely phenomenal. Between rolling the sleeves up and the zip, I'm comfy hiking from 80 to about 40 with just the base layer, and down to about 30 or 25 with a rain jacket. Use... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover This, an OR Celestial jacket, smartwool mid pullover, and balaclava kept me tolerably warm down to 10* in the canyons of Utah. Packs well, feels great against your skin, and it doesn't seem to ha... |

Allen and Mike's Backcountry Ski Book This book is rad. Took it on a NOLS backcountry ski course and pretty much found that we did virtually all the cool tips in this book for 12 days and were not even close to getting uncomfortable. I ... |

Petzl Meteor III Climbing Helmet This thing looks like its not going to last long for those who climb really head bangerlike routes. Luckily have yet to test its strength, but what I like most is its fit. I haven't gone and tri... |

Golite Trail Fly and Tail Spike I've heard they fixed some problems but the pair I had didn't last more than 1 day hike along with about 3 months as using them as my go to shoes. I got them in September and come December I ... |

Outdoor Research Sequence Base Layers For the price I think that it would be very hard to find better base layers than the Outdoor Research Sequence long sleeve or short sleeve tops. They are a mix of wool and polyester, and having owned... |
