Re: RX100 beats 4/3 including GF3 and other larger sensor cameras I didn't realize dxomark had released their stats for the RX100, cool. My real world experience agrees with their results, if not suggested that there was a bigger gap. The RX100 was clearly s... |

Re: Have any of you ditched trekking poles as you've lightened your weight? When I first got hiking poles I used them all the time. I still carry 1-2 poles for setting up my shelter, when crossing rivers, but they mostly live lashed on to my pack rather than in my hands.... |

Sealskinz Ultra Grip Black Glove I tried these for part of a season and gave up. My fingers often felt cold and damp. Deterity isn't as good as I would have expected given the modest thickness of these gloves. I hated them. |

Santa Cruz Down Works UL Down Balaclava What to say. It's light. It's warm. It's reasonably priced compared to equiv. warm options. I mostly use this for sleeping with my quilt. |
