About Me Mediocre climber and decent hiker with not enough play time. Hoping for more winter climbing/hiking and backpacking in my future. I'm a fan of long days, which BPL philosophies help with as well.

Thanks
Thanks to everyone who put this together. Even marked up to $7-8/yd it still sounds like a good deal. Any impressions of the quality, DWR, downproofness, breathability, etc.?

heat sealing

Re: rip
Did the stitching rip out or did the material tear? Posting a picture might help.
