Re: Tikka XP2 review Jon Witt SPOT ON. I found all the same with the Tikka2. Not to mention the battery died pretty fast on me. After 2 weeks of trail running the beam was down to nothing. I will be sticking with ... |

Re: A few more notes about the pack "on the trail will not be affected by the fact that you are carrying 1 or 2 extra pounds on your back! Did I say that?! :)" NICE! It had to be said Ryan. |

Re: BPL Absaroka Pack Looks like a pretty solid pack for those times when carrying less than 20lbs is just not in the cards. Good luck on the new venture BPL! |

Re: Silnylon Poncho tarp as winter precip protection Guess it depends on where you are hiking. I know in the Northeast it would prob not be the best option for 2 reasons. First, I use my hardshell as part of my winter layering system. Second, wint... |

Re: Sierra Prime: Off Trail in California's High Country very high quality trip report. Thanks guys! |

Re: GoLite I agree with Brad, they may be losing the hardcore BPL crowd, but they will gain market share elsewhere. In the end sounds like a good business strategy to me. |

Re: Re: Re: Re: JMT Gear List Report If you have not bought the Cone yet I would highly suggest going for the tri ti for the very reason you stated. My wife and I came to the same conclusion before we left. While we did not need to ... |

Re: Re: JMT Gear List Report Ditto to what Brian said. -Bring a sleep setup good down to 20 deg -I used alcohol in my caldera and wished for the simplicity of esbit -Allow yourself extra time if you are not used to the ... |

Re: Re: Sizing the DAS parka "Bigger is nice as a true belay parka." Agreed! I wear large everything in Patagonia and bought my DAS in an XL. Fit over everything I am wearing with little room to spare. |

Re: Ibex runner shorts durability? I have a pair of the Ibex Strider shorts that are about 3 years old and durability seems pretty good. I only wear them in the winter under windpants or tights so that may be why they are in such g... |

Princeton Tec EOS I have been using the EOS-R for alittle under a year now and have been super happy with it. For some odd reason I find night-time winter trail running "fun" and this is the only headlamp I ... |

ULA Circuit I purchased this pack alittle over a year ago and simply put, this may be one of the best overall trekking packs for hikers with a well dialed kit. While it is alittle much for a weekend trip it is g... |

Six Moon Designs Europa First off I must say that for the vast majority of my trips I strongly prefer a tarp/bivy combo. But for those times when I need a full tent, the Europa has always worked pretty darn well for me. Wh... |

Golite Umbrella 3 Months ago my wife and I were walking the Wilderness trail out to our car on a rainy Sunday morning. As we walked down the trail we were approached by a traditional packer wearing a kilt (yes a mal... |

Arc FlashLight Arc AAA I am actually pretty surprised that no one has submitted a review for this little beauty. As far as lighting goes I am pretty sure this is the most versatile light sources I own. I have carried it o... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 As a trail shoe I do not think it gets much better than the Flyroc's. With their forefoot space, amazing trail feel and fast drying mesh they are pretty close to perfect for New England hiking. ... |

Backpacking Light STIX (2008) All in all a great trekking pole. It is durable,light and very stiff. I have taken several dives on them and they have held up very well. My only complaint is that the tip and grip area are not repl... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Zip As other users have stated this is a great pack. For 90% of my hiking this is my goto pack. From DIAD hikes up to several days out this is a great size pack with loads of utility and great functiona... |
