figures I don't know what everyone else is talking about, but I absolutely love my Golite Spike Tail. No problems with durability either. Once my Vitesse kicked the bucket (and I had a hard time find... |

Triumph weight I just got back from a local outfitter and was there to see if the Triumph was really that great. What I found is that it really is 5.4oz. So, the first thing I wondered is, "what was cut ... |

multi-use items I prefer to take as many items that can be used for more than one purpose over those that can't. I use a Suunto compass (marketed for maritime uses) that is a compass, a signaling mirror, and ... |

Montane Featherlite I have a story to tell, and this is why I'll never get rid of this "Wind"shirt. I guess it's been almost 2 years now, Hurricane Rita was passing through. You know, the one that c... |

Icebreaker Skin 200 boxer briefs I recently just ditch wearing Smartwool Micro weight boxer-briefs for these from Icebreaker. I am an immediate convert. Pros: 1) MUCH more durable. Smartwool developed wear holes soon after us... |
