re:Looking for a Down Jacket Ryan, I have used the thermawrap and the Light Alpine Down, not the UL inner down. I thought the thermawrap and UL were equal, so went with the warmer Light Alpine Down for conditions colder then a... |

Richard et al.; I can go. re;Mont-bell Super Stretch Burrow Bag Richard, I can go almost any day; the Shibuya MB is 15min from my work. They have most the bags hanging on a rack; I could measure approximate double thickness loft and report back if there is int... |

Outdoor Writing Gear- Camera with sound only My advice is basically the same as Ben's, but you can choose your digital camera so it has voice recording capability. I can fit more than 100 hours of good quality mono on a 2G card with the c... |

Flashlight/Headlamp Suggestions- Petzl zipka My Princeton also died. My Petzl Zipka is still going strong and is the most versitile light I have owned. It is the light I reach for first, and recommend first. Not the brightest or lightest o... |

Steven, sorry about that! In a recent add for UL down here, MB did not even picture the UL down parka; maybe it will never be sold here. Sorry I could not come through on that one for you.. :( |

Patagonia DAS vs hooded Micro Puff Dave, I don't know what low temps you are expecting, but I chose the DAS parka and Micro-puff pants for winter hiking in the Japan alps when my thermawrap set is not enough. Including windchill... |

Golite Ether vs Patagonia Houdini vs Montbell UL Robert, I agree with Ben, and Im also a fan of MB bags; and insulation layers for that matter. But take any of those windhshirts you are considering, hold up a single layer to your mouth, and attem... |

5.11 gear Tactical nylon pants These pants weigh in at 720grams, that's a pound and a half, folks. I bought them as winter hiking pants because I do not need the convertable feature of my other pants in winter, but I found thes... |

Petzl Tikka XP In preparation for a night hike I wanted to buy a new headlamp. Technology has come a long way since my old Zipka Plus.. (and I couldn't find it!) After a few hours of research including | ||

Cilogear Schoolbag I got my second Cilogear last week, what Graham calls the "Schoolbag". Here in BPL land it makes for a very nice day-hiking pack and I bet many BPL members could fit a weekend kit into its 3... |

tiny BIC lighter (the cute one) I carry various types of fire making gear for my own educational and practice purposes, but I always have one of these 11 gram bics taped to my keychain or in my pot set. They won't flame when soa... |

SnowClaw Backcountry Shovel Racer Backcountry Shovel My snow claw is one of the more recent models. I used it on one winter trip for bivy prep; I can move snow at a higher rate than with a shovel due to the low inertia of the blade; I dug into a 45'... |

Montbell Versalite rain pants Just bought these today and tested them in a thunderstorm tonight. My usual test sequence is based on recommendations from one of our members. 1. The sitting test applies about 10,000mm head; 2. kneel... |

Lite my fire firesteel scout firelighter This device reliably makes sparks as advertised; even when wet. But so will an 11 gram mini-bic. So I carry the bic. Also, the tiny spark-maker from a Spark-lite is also a fraction of this item'... |

Petzl Zipka If I only kept one light out of my selection; I would keep this one. Additionally, if someone requested my advice on one light to buy, this would be it. It is my default flashlight for any situation. ... |

Montbell U.L. 90 Sleeping Pad U.L. 90 I own the 120cm version, but aside from the dimensions and weight, it is identical. This pad is not remarkable on its own, but as part of the Montbell sleep system, it is. The toggles mate with the... |

Sealskinz gloves Sealskinz absorb water like a big fat sponge, and weighing them on my scale, they did indeed double in weight when wet. Totally unaceptable, and uncomfortable. Returned to REI. |
