Myths - Hats and the Cold I pulled this little snippet off the web today. I thought it was interesting since most of us have probably lived with some form of this maxim re hats and the cold. What do you think, BPLers? Here ... |

Re: Wiki Forum Excellent idea. The wiki will need exactly that type of communication - announcements, calls for help, and a place to discuss ideas or changes. We'll make this happen. Don |

JMT hikers - let's work on the wiki page I know we've got many JMT and High Sierra hikers out there. Let's see what we can do to make the JMT wiki page as informative as possible - an example of what the wiki can become as a reso... |

Re: Re: Patagonia Traverse Softshell Review Christopher - Interesting. Is that fraying occurring on the upper, inner thigh? We haven't seen that happening. Don |

Re: When do these go on sale? Yes, they are on sale now. Patagonia changed the sale date on these a couple of times, and at the time we wrote the article it was January. Clearly, they got them in stock sooner than they had pla... |

Nike Lava Dome Thanks for that blast from the past Randy. I wore a pair of Lava Domes for several years, including over 20 days of climbing on El Cap in Yosemite. Nothing is tougher on shoes than time spent aid cli... |

Complete Walker by Colin Fletcher His writing is unforgettable. In The Man Who Walked Through Time he describes a day spent lying naked on a beach along the Colorado, in a remote section of the Grand Canyon. I'll never forget his desc... |

Montane Featherlite H2O This jacket certainly caught our attention at BPL. We recently obtained a test sample from Montane and we'll be doing a full review. I'm anxious to get in into some nasty conditions. If it even has re... |

Western Mountaineering Flight Jacket I agree but of note for potential buyers - the XL is 13 ounces, more additional weight than I would have expected. But it is an excellent jacket. I'm still giving it a 5 also. |

GoLite Virga We'll be taking a closer look at the Virga in the near future. But the prototype version we tested was an exceptionally light jacket at 6 ounces, and performed reasonably well. It is lacking in du... |
