Re: Side compression: who needs it? Compression systems to me make the most sense for backpacks that you want to double as a daypack. 25-30L is not much bigger than most daypacks and at that size a compression system certainly seems... |

Re: tarp in action Glad you posted that. I was thinking about a pitch just like that today with my Poncho. I typically use a flying diamond (roomy side entrance) or half pyramid (storm) but the pitch you used provi... |

Katabatic Gear Bristlecone (Regular Length, Wide Width) I have had the Bristlecone Bivy for a year and really appreciate the side zipper for ease of entry/exit. The mesh is just right for breathability and views. The stake out loops are nice when you wan... |

Marmot Atom The bag is true to it's 40 degree rating and when I sleep with insulating layers on I have comfortably slept in this bag down to the upper 20's. If you are cold in this bag at 50 then I suspe... |
