MSR Lightning Snowshoe Tails not sure how long these have been out, but pretty slick idea- adds 5" of flotation to your shoes when you need it (remove when you don't) http://www.cascadedesigns.com/msr/snowshoes/sno... |

opinions I guess it doesn't bother me that Roger has expressed his opinion on different pack options- it doesn't bother me that I disagree w/ some of his opinions- I think that is to be expected ... |

changes in sizing I noticed sizing also changed w/ Capilene at some point the older capilene was definitely long lived (still have some very old pieces)- I miss the old expedition weight capilene as well- heavier... |

Black Diamond Carbon Cork @ 16 oz (pair) these are certainly heavier than some of the UL offerings, but still relatively light the FlickLock is about as solid of a adjustment as I've seen for trekking poles- I'm sur... |

ULA Ohm not sure why it's listed with the frameless packs, while not a robust frame- the carbon fiber/derlin frame is certainly a frame and definitely helps w/ the load capacity of this pack anywho- th... |

Montrail Sabino Trail My first pair are over a year old now w/ ~ 500 backpacking/trail running miles- there is some light fraying here and there, but overall are still in very good condition. I've never had a hot spot... |

Dirty Girl Gaiters I'd probably go 4.5 just because of the needed velcro, but I like these enough I wanted to round up. They are breathable, they are light and they do a great job of keeping stuff out of your sho... |
