Re: Need Advice on Which Headlamp?
I have a BD headlamp that is 52 grams (~1.8 oz) with lithium batteries included in the weight. It had excellent battery life, and it worked fine for me for all uses; but it fritzed on me after...

Re: GG Tite-Lite Titanium Stakes 10 pack
Evan, In my experience the Gossamer Gear stakes are fantastic. The design they are selling now, though, appears to be slightly different. The hooks I have from GG look like the ones pictured...

Re: Montrail Namche
Like Joe said, these things have gone down in to the 30s on SAC. Almost a year ago I pulled the trigger on two sizes from SAC and kept the pair that fit best. They've been sitting in my close...

Re: Re: Re: How to pack a frameless pack? (ULA Conduit vs MLD Exodus)
Jeff, I'm not saying that conclusively, as I'm no expert on the matter; but that certainly seems to be the case to me. I've used the Conduit as a daypack without a "frame&quo...

Re: How to pack a frameless pack? (ULA Conduit vs MLD Exodus)

Re: smokey mountain suggestions

Re: Re: Re: Re: DuoMid v. TrailStar
Jason: I've been rained on once in the situation: with one door staked out, effectively creating a half-vestibule. Though the rain was not serious, and not a whole lot of wind factored in, ...

Re: DuoMid v. TrailStar
