Re: How is THIS Allowed I can see how some might think that I over stated how I felt about this, but when the poster's only post, ever, is to state that there are problems with the product and to call for instructions... |

How is THIS Allowed How can a Brand Manager for MSR give his product a 5/5 and refute the many readers that have rated it as a poor quality product? I also found this filter useless after a few days on the trail. For... |

Re: liteflux cree? Christopher... The Fenix lights all use the Cree. Most of the latest versions are the Q5 which is not only brighter but also uses less energy. I have both the LD01 with the Q5 (AAA) and also the LD... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Parka This is a perfect jacket, but the parka hood made me drop my score from a 5(+) to a 4. At 7.5oz for a Large, it's the lightest jacket I own, by far. Packs up smaller than a softball. Perfect over... |

Montbell U.L. 90 Sleeping Pad U.L. 90 I bought the 90 to use in conjunction with the MB pillow to make what amounts to a 3/4 mat. When I use it in shoulder seasons and into winter, I add a GG Nightlight Torso to the bottom end by punching... |
