knickers/manpris I like the just below the knee rig. I have windpants trimmed in a similar manner. |

cycling The lure of cycling the park calls, but it's hard to think of doing so when I could go skiing instead! Perhaps ride West to Mammoth and back on Saturday, then ski on Sunday. Hmmmmm..... |

torso length David, a very good observation. Based on all my prior experience with far too many packs, I choose that torso length deliberately. For me, the wrap of the straps down my scapulas combined with lo... |

feature creep There's always something else, it would seem. The heaviest loads I've yet carried in and on this pack have been on day trips, lugging all my ski gear (boots in the pack) up dry trails to... |

experience with fit? I've been looking for something like a Capilene 2 hoodie for a while. This looks like it would fit, except for the fit thing. Can anyone provide any experience and/or photos of how baggy this... |

FS Patagonia R1 Hoody Red, men's small. Bought new in December, used ~6 times. This thing rocks, it's just too warm! I hate it but realistically I'll hardly ever use the thing. $80 shipped in CONUS. P... |

FS MSR E-Wing One year-old MSR E-Wing. Used on ~half a dozen trips. Seam sealed, but rather messily. Willing to sell cheap. Asking $25 shipped in CONUS. Paypal, send PM. SOLD to Joe C. |

FS Voile Mountaineer 3 pin bindings These are burly, classic nordic bindings. For their use, nothing finer. The ones for sale are current vintage, never mounted, and never skied. A few minor scratches from storage. $40 shippe... |

STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast Tastes good enough, tiny and easy to use. What could be better? It not being so darn expen$ive. |

Lara Bars Cherry Pie Tasty, moist, tasty, good calorie to weight ratio, compact, resists deformation, doesn't freeze too bad in the cold, tasty, made of real food, and tasty! Bar-shaped food does not get any bett... |

Patagonia Capilene 1 T-Shirt Cap 1 seems to have changed very little since it was called silkweight capilene back in the day. It dries very quickly, wicks pretty well (though not as well as cap 2), and most importantly feels lig... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest I use a cut-down 48" Ridgerest on every trip. Bombproof, comfy, light, cheap. In winter, I add a full length under it. I actually sleep better on this than most inflatables, but realize I&... |

MLD Trailstar In summary: Aside from a bivy sack for good weather and race pace endeavors, I've sold off the rest of my shelters. It's a great cross of a pyramid and a tarp. Finished weight, seam sealed... |

Gossamer Gear ThinLight insulation pad 1/8" approx. 2 oz. It's hard to get more warmth for the weight (or price). I like having a few pieces to add in as supplementary feet and/or torso pieces. It is quite fragile. Do not leave this on the outside o... |

FireLite Trapper's Mug A very well designed cup. Light, but seems just as functionaly durable as Snowpeak or Evernew stuff. Ideal size for a soloist. The taller than it is wide shape is one I prefer for cooking on a fire... |

Patagonia Houdini Wind Jacket Note 1: This is a review of my 2005/6 Houdini. It's longevity is revealing (it may have been the Dragonfly back then, even). Note 2: If the price is outrageous, no one would buy it! The prote... |

Patagonia Ready Mix Softshell Pants I disagree with all Kev's objections, and desperately wish I could find more mediums to buy. The simplicity is what I love best. Actually, the perfect in all conditions from 70-10 F fabric is ... |

patagonia down sweater Note: I'm folding this review of the Down hooded pullover into this section because 1) the hooded p/o isn't made anymore, 2) the critical comments likely apply broadly. I really liked the d... |
