Re: Re: Re: Wet rain jacket I have ordered the Montane Featherlite H20 and will be very interested to see how well it breathes. If it performs well in that regard, it should be pretty stellar at 4 ounces for a men's large. ... |

Re: Wet rain jacket I have to think Goretex or eVent or a newer, more advanced coated fabric would breath better than Precip. Seems others have noticed Precip not being the most breathable coating. Epic would also ... |

Re: Advice on my Clothing List. You seem to have everything covered. I always prefer a long sleeve shirt to wear if the sun or bugs are heavy...so you might consider swapping 1 t for a long sleeve t. If you want to drop weight,... |

Re: talk to Montane Thanks to all who offered to send Montane stuff my way! I did finally find a UK e bay dealer who priced competitively and charged low shipping rates. Still all in all, the Featherlite H20 ran $10... |

Montane Featherlite H2O This seems to be an ideal jacket for me. Why would this manufacturer make it so difficult for US customers to purchase their products? It seems the current US distributor is no longer active with... |

Re: WM vs. MB down I used a MB stretch bag in 2005. It was very comfy. But when I placed it next to the WM bag which was much lighter, but nearly twice the mass, I decided that I would prioritize my sleeping needs.... |

Re: I too am not sober about gear purchases Montbell makes great stuff. Western Mountaineering gets better feathers. I have not sampled most of the (many?) other manuf. that create down goods...but I can say, without a doubt, that the ... |

Titanium Goat 2 section poles These poles are the answer to someone seeking UL with a few more options. I wanted poles that collapsed for several reasons: airport travel/tarp use/minimum trail interference while on my pack. I wa... |

Gossamer Gear NightLight 3/4 In my book, this is an Ultra Light sleeping pad. I am sure others will use 2 ounce torso pads, but that would not be conducive to good sleeping in any way for me. The durability is better than exp... |

Big Sur Bars Original Discovered these in late 2005, and have used them pretty exclusivley ever since. Agree with all comments above. These tend to be my main source of calories during the time after breakfast and into e... |

Crocs Any closed toe model For longer backcountry trips, I never leave home without a "camp shoe". Based on the list below, these will probably always be the ones: 1. 12.8 ounces for a sturdy closed-toe pair at s... |

Montane Featherlite H2O Seems to be designed for runners/bikers, but should lend itself to backpackers quite well. Especially those that are spending more time hiking and not on rocks/alpinism. Craftsmanship: Second to ... |
