Re: Outdoor Research Furio Jacket I would not call the Furio lightweight by any means, although it may be a fine jacket otherwise. Now, the OR Revel is a thing I've been fondling for a while...387 grams with lovely soft fabric... |

Re: Re: Re: velcro to stop bag/mat from slipping? We've been using velcro for years now to keep our bags (WM PODS) or double quilt firmly attached to our sleeping pads. We use Uretahne Bond glue to attach the velcro to the mats, and sew match... |
