Right size
Got the L/XL in today and the size is great, the others may have been a bit small with my Zamberlains. The green is a MUCH more eye pleasing color. Oh, and weighed in at 2.1 oz for the pair w...

Sewn vs bonded.
The dry bags from Zpacks are heavier Cuben than the stuff sacks, and they are available for a decent price. It takes all of 3 minutes plus dry time to seam seal one. The Lawson bags have been OOS...

Zpacks
I would look into a Zpacks dry bag. I am sure he can make it to whatever dimensions you like. You will have to seam seal it, but once that is done you are good to go.

TAD Gear
I have a TAD FAST pack that I have used for day hikes as well. It was my main pack in Iraq as well. Built like a tank. The smaller Lightspeed seems nice.

Montbell Extremely Light Down Jacket
I have the Ex Light in a large and I am 5'7" 175lbs (16.5, 32/33 dress shirt). The fit is great. As was said before, this jacket is meant as a layering piece, and it does its job very well....

Sea to Summit Alpha Light Spoon
I have the longer one and it is perfect for freezer bag meals, and lighter (and cheaper) than the Ti one to boot. The shape is great as well. Bravo S2S.

Zpacks Cuben Fiber Suff Sack
I just got in the medium plus and the SP 700 stuff sacks from Joe, and they are fantastic. Made from .51oz cuben fiber and have sewn seams. You could seal the seams, but in this case they will be in...
