treating water in the cold "I fill my Nalgene with either stream water or snow, and I boil it." Max, I'm sure you don't boil the water and snow in a plastic bottle. Is it not easier to put the snow righ... |

Pat M10 Thank you, Babak, for that news, and James for the video. A while back there was a post from Ryan Jordan suggesting that Patagonia would have a WPB competitive with the breathability of eVent. If... |

Cuben weight AW - please note that Ron at MLD does not accept returns on the .5 oz Cuben. Check out the MLD site. He knows more about materials than most of us. |

Westcomb Focus LT Hoody Review Length is a bigee for me also. Wouldn't know this is a long jacket, but for Dan's post. Usually when I read rain jacket reviews, I just have to sigh and hope I might run across one to try... |

favorite 3S 1P tents Max, Yes, I was wondering why your thread didn't lead to postings about more different tents. A thread like this comes up fairly regularly, and it seems like it is often the same tents that ge... |

Golf shaft trek poles Those are nice - almost make me wish I used two poles and had no need to be able to fold them (it) up. Great info about the source of the grips and other details. A couple of questions it would ... |

SD Cloud Airshell Konrad, The spec on vapor transmission from SD is pretty useless without knowing the test method. Even then, recent articles and posts here have shown the makers play games that make the specs us... |

pack fabric choices Not sure you always have a choice between on-trail and off-trail. Last summer I was hiking in open country above timberline until I ran into a humongous boulder slide that I might have been able t... |

Marmot Rockstar Pant These pants were purchased after trying a number of DWR, quick drying polyester and nylon products in search of lighter weight. However, all were very baggy, and none met the secondary goal of having ... |

Mont Bell Ultra-Light Spiral Down Hugger #3 Long Bought this shortly after the BPL review came out. It was my first down bag since the 70's. The outstanding DWR treatment shown in the review persuaded me that a down bag might work for me agai... |

Potable Aqua Iodine Drinking Water Germicidal Tablets It is a good emergency item, because, as already pointed out, it takes up almost no weight or space. It addresses both the crypto and giardia if one waits the recommended times. Should the main wa... |

Sealskinz Ultra Grip Black Glove Tried them a few years ago for winter snowshoeing, which involved a lot of bushwacking. Clammy, wet, cold and eventually, frozen fingers. Just about anything else is better, even just leather. Am su... |

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3 Used the reg (not super) version of this bag for three weeks; one on Maine's Grafton Loop Trail in June at altitudes up to 3K', and two in Colorado's Rawahs in August at altitudes up to 12... |

Cocoon UL 60 Hoody and Pant I have not had any problems with the stitching, and have found the product to be reasonably warm for its very light weight. Pockets might have been nice for handwarming, but if it is really cold, I c... |

Remington RMHL2AAA-B While I have always used hang lights in camp instead of headlamps, ordered this item because of Keith's excellent review. Was pleased to note that the beam was as bright and more even than the Ph... |

MSR Mountain Safety Research HyperFlow microfilter My understanding from this and other sites is that this filter is not effective after thawing once the element has been frozen. If this is not so, it would be helpful to have this corrected. Otherwi... |

SnowPeak Gigapower LI The only drawback for this stove was the lack of a windscreen, such that it did not perform efficiently in windy conditions. The manufacturer's screen sold separately is stainless steel, and on th... |
