Mirage Very nice. It looks like they took the Alpine Light Parka design and switched it to 7D fabrics, 900fp down (from 30D and 800fp respectively) plus added a little more down. |

38g Yup.....38 grams saved (112g vs. 140g). Nice device. |

400ml Well I do have one of these. I got it with my 750/400ml set earlier this year and have never used it. I'm not sure I want to part with it though. I'll think it over. |

Evernew 400ml Mug You can acquire one as part of the 750ml/400ml stacking set, if finding the solo mug is too elusive. http://www.evernewamerica.com/ECA278.htm |

New TenD Hmm....I wonder if i can send mine in for the upgrade :) |
||
|
10D vs. Quantum Brian, What I was trying to say is that in my qualitative experience, TenD is below average in terms of downproofness, wind proofness and water repellency, so opting for something a little more ... |

Virga Outdoors I'm not to sure what he's up to, but I imagine he's still making gear. He never really had a website I don't think. He's BPL member 'BillyGoat'. Send him a PM. http:/... |

Paddles If you're only crossing flat water (and not huge bodies of it) then I'd use the trekking pole paddles. Half the price and weight of the Ninja and far more packable. I have these, and they&#... |

M50/M55 Yeah Thru-Hiker updated their M50 fabric and did away with M55 at the same time. Supposedly the new M50 is a lot closer to M55 than the old M50, so it's good stuff. It'll have a bit of shin... |

SF Flathead Even rafting down from Salmon forks is going to be fun. Let us know how it goes. |

Spark-Lite Fire Starter (Survival Gear - BPL Gear Shop) I have this kit and the FireLite Mini kit. This sparker is a bit lighter than the FireLite Mini but I don't trust this sparker 100% like I do the FireLite. This sparker doesn't work well wh... |

BPL FireLite Firestarter I love this FireLite Mini. It's the only thing that I 100% trust to start a fire. With a mini Bic you can run out of gas, be at too high of an altitude, get it wet or get it oily. Matches can ... |

Hyperlight Mtn Gear Echo I I wasn't sure where to put this review as the Echo I can be used as either a tarp or a double wall tent. OVERVIEW I've given the Echo I five stars because it's quality construct... |

Golite 2006 Reed Pants I've got the original Reed pants (4oz in a size medium) and they are prefect rain pants for UL hiking. They've been adequately durable, totally waterproof and light. I don't want ankle zip... |

Marmot Essence I'll be the first one to give this jacket 5 stars. Marmot has made a number of changes to this jacket over the years so criticisms of the earlier models are no longer relevant. My Essence is t... |

Baladeo 22 Grams Knife This knife is a brilliant design. Every part of it is functional and the result is a lot of knife for just 22g (or 24.3g as mine as actually weighs). When I opened the (very nice) box and first played... |

Nite ize S-Biner After using another small biner that failed due to a poor design, I switched the Nite Ize Size 1 biner for bear bagging this summer. I use one of these to clip to my 1.4mm spectra cord to my food sack... |

Mountain Laurel Designs Revelation I really like my 2009 MLD Revelation pack. The 1.5oz cuben is great. I think it will last a very long time provided I don't take any good falls on rocky slopes. With some bungie cordage, MLD s... |

Granite Gear Uberlight CTF3 Drysack I bought two of these Uberlight drysacks, a green 7L one for my GoLite Ultra 20 quilt and a orange 10L one for my wife's 15F rated 800FP MEC Merlin sleeping bag. The claimed weights for these d... |

Petzl e+LITE I really like the e+Lite. It's surprisingly bright and I appreciate the red light functionality in the tent. On high, this light is nearly as bright as my Tikka yet it weighs 1/3rd and has additio... |
