Fruitbat Ultra-istas and moving forward Aaron, I know some view UL/SUL practitioners as a "cult". I think some of the posters above have some great ideas about helping to allay this perspective --even if some of us do act as if... |

Jock straps 'r us >> And why is it that discussions of jockstraps and underwear leads naturally to a discussion of Democrats and independents? I don't see the connection. ----That's between we and o... |

MSR press release Was this MSR's way of acknowledging the BPL Test/Report? MSR, to their credit, has been good through the years about correcting "not quite ready for prime time" gear. |

MB Pants Believe it or not, I'm really more of a "get that cool gear out into the wilderness" wonk. Besides, those with full gear closets feel incredibly guilty (or they should!) if they aren&... |

UL60 Cocoon Pants availability Miguel, it's still an option if you want any size other than med. Just a thought, M. I think it would be possible (upon examining my Cocoon Pants) to get the large size and take in the waist... |

UL Moonies? I can see it now---- UL evangelists systematically flooding retail stores, pigeonholing people----we may yet get a rep for being a cult! :-D "Lighties"? "Ultristas" ? "... |

Educating at the "top" as important as at the "Grass Roots" Which might point out the need for clinics specifically aimed at the workers and management of brick and mortar outdoor stores to show the "Light" side. Brett's idea of demoing UL ... |

re. Cocoon UL pant vs. Monbell Inner Pan They're both great insulated pants. If I were going to use them much as part of a sleeping system, I would get the Cocoons, simply because they will retain loft when wet and make a good back up... |

Jackets, apples and oranges. It is probably true that PL is more compressible ---although like Delta, I wonder if compressing it to it's minimum volume is ultimately destrictive to the insulation. I don't mind my Delt... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip In the Sub one pound category of packs made specifically for backpacking, this is probably the finest blend of form and function---a "practical" SUL Pack that is still composed of lightweigh... |

Backpacking Light Firelite SUL-500 Cookpot ...but I do actually own one of these puppies, so I'll chime in. It's thin, thin, thin and I could squeeze a significant dent into it, in my hand. You don't get this extreme level of light... |

Playpus 2L Big Zip It's never leaked in it's 1 1/2 years of use and have come to trust it. I generally use this on group trips where it's nice to have larger volumes of purified water on hand in camp situati... |

Platypus Platy Reservoir The dedicated hydration systems by Platypus are more reliable than the "retrofit" of the resevoir into one. The Big Zip is far better to the purpose. |

BackpackingLight.com Very efficient and friendly CS from BPL. Addie (and Ryan---when A. is on vacation) runs a tight ship----my questions and requests have been handled very promptly and services like running down to the ... |

BMW Cocoon Pro 60 Parka Another preliminary review focusing on fit, features and construction. Although many of you might be more attracted with the (on paper) 1 oz. savings of weight of the Cocoon Hooded Pullover, the Pr... |

Patagonia Ready Mix Softshell Pants I got these to supplement my aging Golite Synergy pants---they have several things going for them. They are very light, very water resistant and have partial leg zips to ease putting on over shoes or ... |

MiniBullDesigns SSBIT Another very fine MBD alcohol stove. This one is a pressurized top jet design that produces a flame narrow enough to use with Heine and Foster can/pots. It was ostensibly designed to retrofit Esbit s... |

ULA Equipment Brian is not only a great designer of packs, but a great sewer, too, when the seamstress brigades of Logan, UT are fully engaged. He also has entertained us over the last few years with on-line diarie... |

MiniBullDesigns Stealth (ver.1) This fierce but absurdly light (.23 oz.) little side-burner is great for boiling water in a Snow Peak 600 cup. Takes about 6 min. Burns for about 8 minutes or so on 1 oz. of fuel. This was an earli... |
