Re: Re: All the Gear a Guy Could Want
Mark 1000% agree with your comments, taking the same approach on this end as well. My favorite items are the ones that see 4 season use. I as well cannot justify buying somthing new for the sole...

Princeton Tec EOS

Vargo Triad
As others have stated, this thing is terrible. It has a great look to it that seems to promise functionality but once you go to use it you will find the opposite. Get a Caldera Cone instead!!!!

Inov8 Flyroc 310
As a trail shoe I do not think it gets much better than the Flyroc's. With their forefoot space, amazing trail feel and fast drying mesh they are pretty close to perfect for New England hiking. ...
