BPL in France +1 for arklight design- they ship to me in Barcelona, no problems. Haute Pyrenees Route, and the GR 10 and GR11 are all great walks you can do from Bordeaux. If you are into surfing, the beac... |

Summer insulating layer for the mountains I've got two. Patagonia Micro Puff sweater & a Hagloffs LIM Primaloft sweater. One of these comes with me every hike. Vests seem pointless to me, for a few extra grams you get more warmt... |

P&S suggestions check out www.dpreview.com I carry a Fuji F30- however, I don't think you can get them anymore. If I had to buy one now, I'd buy a Ricoh GRD3, but a fixed lens isn't everyone's c... |

positioning Hi, Thanks for the guru tag- undeserved, I'm sure. The hip pockets are really only a stuff sack modified with a couple of straps. I use them when I have to camel up (4kg of water), and I do n... |

Mountain Laurel Designs SoloMid Cuben MLD SoloMid Cuben Review I like my SoloMid, especially the weight, but it is a compromise, but a compromise that specialist equipment requires the user to understand and live with. I have the yell... |

Golite Ion Golite Ion Review I know you can't buy this any more, but it really deserves a 5 out of 5 as it is easily the best pack I've used for UL adventures, if you can get all your gear in. It is ... |

ULA Circuit Circuit review: I've used the new Circuit for only day hikes so far, with all my 3/4 day gear (weight: ± 9 kg, including 1.5l of water- about 20 lbs) to see how it was, and it has been really ... |
