an Undurabal waterproofer? Does anyone know of a spray (maybe like the nikwax gear proofer) that is able to become waterproof and non breathable, but then also be able to wash off with alcohol or chemicals? I am thinking of... |

Smartwool Midweight Lomgsleeve Zip This thing is absolutely phenomenal. Between rolling the sleeves up and the zip, I'm comfy hiking from 80 to about 40 with just the base layer, and down to about 30 or 25 with a rain jacket. Use... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover This, an OR Celestial jacket, smartwool mid pullover, and balaclava kept me tolerably warm down to 10* in the canyons of Utah. Packs well, feels great against your skin, and it doesn't seem to ha... |

Outdoor Research Sequence Base Layers For the price I think that it would be very hard to find better base layers than the Outdoor Research Sequence long sleeve or short sleeve tops. They are a mix of wool and polyester, and having owned... |
