Re: longsleeve t-shirt that offers sun protection in hot weather I really like my Patagonia Sun Hoody. At temperatures > 90 F, every shirt will feel hot if you're moving with a pack on. I'd consider using an umbrella in your conditions. |

Re: 1.5 person, 3 season tent recommendation - TT rainbow The TT Rainbow is a nice tent. It fits me and my 60lb dog fine. It has LOTS of headroom and is very easy to sit up in and move around. I just started using a SMD Lunar Solo. It has good floorsp... |

Re: Rain mitts I ended up buying both a pair of the MEC Cloudraker mitts and the mitts from Luke's Ultralite. So far, a shower test shows the MEC mitts to be completely waterproof (hands stayed dry). But my h... |

Re: Exped Lightning 60 Forgot to mention the pack (with tags) weighs about 39.8 oz, so pretty close to its spec'd weight of 38.8 oz. I'm going to give my HMG 4400 SW another chance to see how its torso length ... |

Re: Re t-frame I measured the total height of the stay to be around 25 inches. I don't find it to be "towering" over my head, but I get what you mean. It doesn't feel much different than my Circ... |
