Re: Re: Hyperlite Mountain Gear Inc. Hi Mike, thanks for the additional information. I guess that's the thing about mostly waterproof sacks. Water always seems to find a way to make it in, but never seems to drain back out. I'... |

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.... |

Patagonia Houdini Wind Jacket I normally wear a size M men's in most garments. I came across a really good sale for the Patagonia Houdini in women's sizing. I decided to gamble and order size L in women's and found a c... |

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... |
