Older Dana Designs Pack fit
My 2000 Dana Designs Terraplane X pack has been a little abused and tweaked over the past few years and doesn't fit right anymore. I just got back from a week long skiing/mountaineering trip in...

MLD Cricket vs. Zpacks Hexamid

Manzella Silk Weight Windstopper All-Season Glove
These have replaced my liner gloves since I discovered them. The reason? They are almost as light and totally windproof. The windproof characteristic makes them MUCH warmer than a glove of comparable ...
