Re: VT volume does not include pockets or collar "Our pack capacity figures do not include the side pockets or the extension collar. In the case of the VT, it is just the main part of the pack." At first glance, it seems that this qu... |

Re: Nunatak Skaha no pocket no hood 2 questions: what size? and what shell fabric? |

Re: OR Hydrolite - heavy The Hydrolite stuffsacks ARE heavy. However, apart from being seam sealed, they are not truly waterproof, since the mouth is just held closed by a drawcord. By contrast, take a look at the Granit... |

Re: phd I'm not really willing to spend the money for the Nunatak considering that I could literally get 3 MB Alpines and have money left over for the price of one Kobuk jacket. Kind of sad really...N... |

Re: need winter back advice. The Vapor Trail might be a little small for winter use (GG says 3600 cu in, but that includes a nearly useless extension collar: the main pack body is actually about 2800 cu in). The VT does have ... |

stuffsacks I think you are going to get all kinds of recommendations if you ask how many and what size stuffsacks will you need for a thru hike because everybody has their own preferences for gear and for org... |

Re: Western Mountaineering That's going to be a tough sell, since it's an ounce heavier than the MB Alpine. Do you think the Meltdown is warmer than the Alpine, in spite of the sewn thru baffles? Is the hood insula... |

Re: Re: Driducks bivy Me too. Luckily the total cost to me was pretty low for this project. I already had the silnylon as scrap from a previous bivy project and the zipper was also a leftover. So really the only cost... |

ZPacks Zilch I got a Zpack's Zilch earlier this year with the following options: winged waistbelt with pockets, extra padding on shoulder straps, and sternum strap. I feel that each of these options really he... |

Sea to Summit Ultra-Sil Dry Sack Those reviews that gave the ultra-sil dry sacks points off for a submersion and hose spray tests were unfair and unrealistic. These are meant to be packed inside a backpack, not used as kayaking bags... |

Mountain Laurel Designs I've dealt with Montain Laurel Designs twice and my overall impression is very good. The wait periods quoted are accurate. I was told 1-3 weeks for some various small items in December and recei... |

Western Mountaineering Flight Vest I would have kept mine but my size medium was also overweight, at almost 7 ounces--ridiculous considering that I bought it thinking I was going to get a 5 ounce vest. For the coverage it provided, wh... |

Golite Ion This pack has a niche for me. It is the pack I use in the heat of summer when I'm doing an overnighter with minimal food, and hiking lots of miles. Because it's so small, I can pack it with ... |

Integral Designs PLQ Pants My review is for the newest incarnation of the PLQ pants which use Pertex Microlight for the shell instead of the lighter Quantum. Firstly, I bought these from Prolite Gear under the impression I... |

Integral Design Hot Socks These are excellent little sleeping socks. Windproof, insulated on all sides, and highly compressible. I can also walk around in them, although the primaloft rubbing against the shell and lining is ... |

Powerbar ProteinPlus This is an old favorite of mine and it's really too bad that not a lot of stores carry them. They have a nice soft-but-firm consistency and enough flavor to make you forget you're eating an e... |
