Re: Hok ski bindings I would email the Hok guys. I asked them about an adapter for my SNS BC boots (as opposed to NNN BC) and they said no problem. They are very responsive, although they might be really busy now becau... |

Re: As I wrote before, the Hok is probably great for a little winter snowplay fun... I don't think its fair to criticize or generalize BPL for ignoring weight when it comes to winter activity. This is just one review. BPL does plenty of reviews of gear that is outside what most... |

Altai Skis: The Hok Ski and X-Trace Universal Binding Review Wow, leave this thread for a little while, and all hell breaks loose. :) A few things come to mind. Jonathan confirms, in a round about way, what was said in the intro. The industry is driven by... |

Re: Altai Skis: The Hok Ski and X-Trace Universal Binding Review Excellent article, David. I especially like the intro. I had a small email conversation with the editor of Ski Trax magazine, and he wrote about the same thing. It is a shame that there is so much ... |

Re: Rugged winter trekking poles? I have a pair of GG LT4, and I put my full weight on them, but I would never use them in the winter. There is just too much that can go wrong (slip, fall down on them, etc.). I use the heavy duty B... |

Re: Warmer alternative to neo air all season I would just add closed cell foam to your existing setup. The only drawback is bulk. You could try a Z-Rest, which isn't as bulky for the amount of insulation. If that isn't enough, just ad... |

Re: Re: Which bivy? I think the key thing about the video is that he emphasizes that you should have enough clothes for the coldest weather you can expect to encounter. The interesting thing to me is that his clothing... |

Re: Rain gear and long term cost efficiency. I think a lot depends on how you often you use it and where you use it. If, for example, you only use Propore on your bike, or around town, then it will probably last indefinitely. It is unlikely t... |

Re: Re: Extra Protection for an Inflatable Michael: I have a framed pack. I think there are some posts somewhere about folks who have used inflatables to support a frameless pack. I think if I used a frameless pack, then it would give me on... |

Re: Big 5 carries them as well My information may be out of date, but a few years ago there were several companies that made rain clothes out of the 3M material called "Propore". These included brands or companies such... |

Gossamer Gear Another GG review, another five out of five. This time, I broke a pole section (the lower part, or tip). It was my fault (I stepped on it) and not the fault of the pole. A call to customer support (I&... |

Ultrapod Mini I am very happy with my Ultrapod Mini. It does what is supposed to do very well. You often have to be resourceful with it; but with a little imagination, you can take great pictures. For example, if y... |

Pentax Optio WP I very much like my Optio WPi (6 mp). I have found the waterproof feature to be of much greater value than I originally expected. For winter pictures, it is really handy to set up a picture and not wo... |

Eureka Zues II Exo I bought this tent a few years ago, before I knew about tarp tents. I have been happy with it, but it is a little smaller and heavier than a tarp tent. As a free standing tent, it is more round, which... |
