UL rain pants Nobody discuses them much, but I have been using the GoLite Whim pants lately to stay dry. At only 2.5oz they are among the lightest option (short of no rain pants!). Some people have reported a ve... |

NightLite pad I had a similar experience with back discomfort on my not-quite-so-young body. The only answer floating around here for a decent night's sleep seems to be Tylenol PM. I've converted over to... |

Wood burning mode for Caldera Can anyone comment on what features were added to allow wood burning mode in the Caldera cone? Far as I can tell there is nothing different - you just remove the stove and add burning wood inside t... |

STARBUCKS VIA Italian Roast Oh yeah, as soon as Via came out my Java Juice went bye bye and this makes it in my pack on every trip. I purchase in volume of 48 to get the price break. A nice strong and flavorful cup of coffee to ... |

Pacific Outdoor Equipment Ether Thermo 6 A great alternative to the BA insulated aircore pad if you are looking for 2.5" inflatable comfort. The higher denier rating in the POE design gives me more confidence in the durability, and shav... |

ULA Conduit It's all the features I need and then some. I used a sitlight pad for frame support on a weekend trip, and with a full pack weight of around 17 lb incl consumables, this pack carried very nicely f... |

Pro Lite Gear customer service All good experiences so far with Prolite. Last friday afternoon I placed another order to this company. Less than 1 hour later, I got an email notification that my item had shipped. Free shipping too.... |

RailRiders Adventure Shirt I've had mine out several times now in temps up in the 90's and was very pleased with the performance. The shirt really breathes well. I hike mostly in the desert and need full sun protection ... |

Gossamer Gear Lightrek Plus Poles I had just acquired a pair of these poles last week and set out over the weekend for an over-nighter to try them out. Unfortunately, about 40 minutes into the hike the tip broke off of one pole, just ... |

ULA Amp I have taken this pack out only once last weekend, so this review is preliminary and could change. The construction of the pack is flawless, and came in very close to Brian's (updated) weight spec... |
