Re: ULA Ohm 2.0 Pictures
Thanks for the photos. I have an original Ohm and a Circuit, and I think I need to trade both of them for one of these. Hmmm. EDIT: I wish there was some sort of knit wicking fabric on the back ...

Re: Help me spend my PFD (on my wife) and buy a soft shell
My wife has both a Marmot Sharp Point jacket and an REI hooded softshell (maybe the One jacket? Not sure.) The REI is warmer, with a thicker fabric that's fleeced on the inside, and a hood. The...

Re: A question for the Photographers
The contrast detect AF in the Panasonic cameras is fast -- about as fast as a consumer DSLR. Not even close to my 1D Mark IV, of course, but they are made for entirely different purposes. I'm ...

Re: Kid's packs?
The Osprey internal frame kid's pack is about 50 liters and weighs around 3 pounds. The torso length adjusts over a wide range, though of course the very shortest length will compromise the fit...

Re: Derailed!
I would buy a G3 with the kit zoom lens and a 20/1.7. Might be a little more than $1000. The G3 is not a large camera -- it's almost exactly the same size as my GF1, and it has an excellent ...

Re: Narrowed down
I own a lot of compact cameras, along with two m4/3 systems and several larger DSLR systems. The m4/3 is my go-to travel and hiking camera. If I had to choose only one current camera for the rest o...

Re: AT Winter Thru-Hike gear suggestions.
I do a fair amount of winter hiking in the Southern Appalachians, and love it. February 1st isn't all that early a start anymore for a thru-hike. There are hikers starting in January. The trail...

Re: 2p shelter with a fancy lady
+1 for the Lunar Duo. We've tried several 2p shelters, and this one is the best overall. The interior volume is epic. It sets up reasonably quickly using trekking poles and six stakes. My wife ...

Re: New Zebralights
"The S series is also pretty wild....2400 lumens? Is that legal?" You can land an airplane with two of these... For whatever the runtime might be. I expect it's pretty short on Tur...

Photon Freedom Micro (White)
The newest version is the Photon Freedom To The Max, which uses some sort of new technology in the LED that doubles brightness while not using any more battery power. Nice. The Doug Ritter edition ...

Marmot Ion
I just received my Marmot Ion jacket from Campmor, and I agree with the two most recent posts. I don't think it's sil-nylon, exactly, but my hiking test had water beading up on the inside whil...
