Re: UL Packs No pictures yet, but here is my assessment of the Vapor Trail: The best thing about the Vapor Trail is the hip belt. It is very cushy and supportive. I believe it is the best hip belt on any pack t... |

Re: Supplementing Mont bell thermawrap I add warmth from underneath. I use a midweight Patagonia fleece sweater along with a BPL Cocoon Hoody (which is similar to the Thermawrap). Generally speaking, the Cocoon Hoody stays in the pack u... |
