If you leave the bivy.... If you leave the bivy(or take just a mesh one) you can put your rainjacket around the foot of your bag in wet and windy weather. |

Poncho? What is the poncho for if you have a rain jacket? What is the ground cloth for if you have a bivy? Could you use a lighter knife? Indeed for more money, as you mentioned, you could replace... |

Who to allow on the trail A few more points to consider in this discussion: Trail design has much bigger influence on erosion and damage to neighboring vegetation than user type. Keeping that in mind, if you are a hi... |

Feathered Friends Spoonbill The FF Spoonbill double bag seems like just the ticket. I thought it looked great, but just to warm for our normal temps, but if you are looking for a warm 20F bag, it seems like it would be the ti... |

Go for 2x20oz I agree with MaryD. go with 2x20 = 40oz/1134g. It seems a fair comparison to your solo ones. Yes, some people want a 2p shelter to be lighter pp weight, but for others it's to have the same... |

Yep, get a postal scale "Some of my weights for clothing are pure guesses. As are the weights for fire stuff. I figured I would be better guessing high than underestimating." Aha, that explains it. I thoug... |

To comment or not to comment "What people use is up to them ..." Again, entirely true, but this guy is telling other people they should do it the same way. And he even claims it's the ULTIMATE gear, that begs... |

doubled up items Sounds like fun! I think you could save some weight without giving up comfort or safety. Indeed, bring the tarp OR the space blanket. If you think it will be dry for sure, take the spacebla... |

Better than most? @ Jim: I disagree. Don't you think that if someone went into a backpacking store they might at least end up with a pair of rainpants, a baseball cap and leave the windstopper double layer fleec... |

Enlightened Equipment Revelation X Quality: The sewing is very neatly done, I have not looked super close at the fabric but from a casual glance I don't see any blemishes. Nice soft hand. Fit: I have a 6'6&qu... |

Golite Hex 3 I was surprised to see we fit comfortably with our family of 4, while using the nest. By hanging it from a line between two trees, we have room for a double bag in the center and no pole to be knocke... |

L.L. Bean Ultralight 850 Down Jacket I returned the L tall I had ordered, as the sleeves were too short. I ended up with a Montbell in XL which had longer sleeves and was no more baggy than the L tall LL Bean. |

Montbell Down inner pants As mentioned these are a nice and light pair of warm pants. Sorry for the exclamation marks but I have never found stock pants like this! The great news with these is that they fit very slim for... |

mont-bell Thermawrap Parka & Pants I got the womens size S for my daughter, who wears size 6(yr old) kids clothes normally. The lightest hooded kids parka I could find was the Marmot Amadablam. This is lighter, longer in the waist ... |

02 Rainwear Rain Suit The design is poor, with a crummy hood that doesn't cover my chin and no bill, short sleeves and body, wide opening at the waist and no articulation anywhere. Wimpy rainflap over a very porous zip... |

Cioch Direct /Paramo custom I have a Cioch Direct Glamaigh and can only echo the previous comments: It is as breathable as an uncoated windshell,but the liner makes it as warm as a windshell with light fleece underneath. So ... |
