Ohm Hip Belt (Photos) I measured the hip belt and padding. It's 5.5" wide where it joins the pack and 1.75" where it joins the webbing. The gridstop that's visible in the center photo is what attache t... |

Re: ask ULA may be Ivan... That yellow cord you see on the Ohm is not shock cord, it's actual cord so that the pack can be compressed using the attached cord lock. |

Re: Re: Ohm Hip Belt OK, OK, I'll try to load a few things in the pack later this morning and get a photo or two of the hip belt. In the meantime... John... The hip belt wings on my large Ohm extend 10" from ... |

Re: Ohm Hip Belt Ray... I just unpacked the pack to get the Nunatak quilt out of the bottom to stop the unnecessary compression. The next time I pack it up, I'll get that photo. The wings of the hip belt sit ri... |

Re: Re: Re: Re: ULA Ohm Russell... I'd say IF it were possible to take a very hard fall and somehow strike the frame on the edge of a sharp boulder, then yes it could crack or break. As I said, the frame seems, at lea... |

Re: ULA Ohm Russell... The framed is totally external except where it fits into the upper and lower sections of the pack fabric. In my estimation it would be very, very difficult to damage the frame, even in a... |

Re: Re: ULA Ohm I loaded up my Ohm by starting with a Montbell UL90 pad placed in circular fashion around the inside perimeter. Loaded up my 3 season gear, plus a few extras, food for at least 3 days, and some wat... |

Re: Revelation Even though I have a perfectly good Spinntex Revelation, which is my go-to pack for 3 to 4 days or less, I couldn't resist ordering this new version. |

Re: Poncho vs Rain Jacket and Pants I agree with Paul and use almost the same setup. An ID Silcoat Cape (which I have found to work better than a poncho) and an MLD Grace Solo tarp (Spectralite). Most ponchos are, in reality, too sma... |

Re: re: Nunatak Arc Alpinist: What Customizations? Greg... I kept the Arc Specialist at the standard numbers since I hope to use it in conjunction with down clothing very deep into the fringe seasons. Using it like that, and since I'm a side s... |

Warbonnet BlackBird I've used several hammocks and always had the feeling, "if only it had". Then I bought a Warbonnet BlackBird. The hammock was designed by, and is hand built by, a long time hammocker and... |

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... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Revelation I had the chance to begin using my very lightest gear recently. Loaded up this pack with all my gear and food for a slightly rainy weekend. With two 20oz bottles of water the total packweight was 9.5 ... |

GlobalStar SPOT Satellite Personal Tracker I purchased a SPOT Personal Satellite Trackier unit from REI and activated it with GlobalStar for unlimited service on January 24. The product and service are almost totally useless for anyone who is ... |

5.11 gear Tactical nylon pants I've had a chance to use the nylon canvas version of the 5.11 Tactical pants and have found them to be close to ideal. Slightly heavier than the Railrider's or REI counterpart, they are still ... |

Packafeather Featherfire I've now had a chance to use the FeatherFire on several hikes and it continues to impress me. The adjustability of the flame is great and really allows for simmering after reaching a boil at the h... |

Titanium Goat Adjustable CF Trekking Poles I waited until after I completed my thru hike of the Long Trail to post this review. I wanted to take them through the wringer that this trail provides and see how they faired…the answer was varied. S... |
