Re: Re: Montbell Down T-shirt That's partly why I went ahead and ordered one now. 720 vs 800 fill isn't likely to make much difference when the total quantity of down is minimal, the garment is sewn-through, button-up, ... |

Re: Montbell Down T-shirt Thanks for the lead. It's also mail-orderable through their warehouse in Boulder. 1-877-MONTBELL The current model uses 720-fill down and comes in Japanese sizing only. One color choice - gu... |

Re: MYOG Camp Chair I'm prototyping a themarest-compatible chair kit design that uses trekking poles for back support, and weighs ~1.3 ounces. I'll report more once I've field tested it a bit. |

Re: Lifespan of FlexAir pillows A good airing of opinions by all. Many thanks. I'm still unclear exactly how they fail from use, whether it's a corruption of the poly seal (from moisture or etc.) or a pressure issue, and wheth... |

Lifespan of FlexAir pillows Big things really do come in small packages. These little guys stand a good chance of improving my trail life more than any other new item on my gear list. But how long do they last? What fails fir... |

White Box Alcohol Stove The absence of a separate pot stand is an elegant little feat of stove engineering, and the design is marginally lighter than a pop can stove and stand (0.3 oz lighter than the Go-Torch by MoGoGear), ... |

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap The fact that the cape is entirely removable, rendering a standard ball cap, is both a boon and bane. The cap alone, with its hip, curved brim and streamlined look, passes the urban street test, w... |

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3 My new 2007 model 800-fill bag failed bigtime in the warmth department. Even with ample layering, pad, and use inside a tent, I couldn't seem to shake off annoying cold spots and a palpable sense ... |

Light My Fire Spork Other reviewers have covered the LMF Spork's merits. And while I certainly agree, there's just no getting around the fact that mine broke into two pieces after just two days of use. Inevitably... |

Wigwam Gobi liner socks Once upon a time a very capable standalone sock for warm weather thru-hiking, these familiar polypro liners now seem to fall under the same heading as PowerGel and moist towelettes - single use only. ... |

GoLite Infinity Make no mistake. This pack has a lot going for it. As others have pointed out, its 3000 ci capacity is just about perfect for thru-hiking ultralighters. In terms of organizational ability it is fe... |

Salomon XA Comp 2 I've enjoyed the weight, stability, and fit of the Salomon trail runners for years. Unfortunately the XA Comp seems to have devolved in recent times from a comfortable and durable product to one with ... |
