WM bag length Jeff, I'm 5'9" and don't feel as if I have more than an inch to spare in the 6' bag. I think it depends a bit on the length of your feet, surprisingly, as they stretch out whe... |

Vers*lite Bag arrived very swiftly, looks great. WM is no longer using Pertex Quantum (or the "new" version from Japan) in their Extremelite series, but the fabric they're now using looks even... |

Once more into the breach Well, another successful foray--a Western Mountaineering Versalite. In Regular, they only had right zip, but at that price I'll learn to use it. I considered the no-payments-for-90-days, but ... |

Credit card backup If, with paypal, you use a credit card--I use Amex--you often have another layer of protection. Amex will consider a dispute of longer duration than PayPal. However, you can't use both simult... |

Goods arrived Rich, my experience during the first sale was definitely better. I placed two orders; Icebreaker let me know one item was out of stock, and refunded the cost. The two shipments, though they were ... |

Ibex Nelson 17.5 L/S : #1038 Too often it seems that merino manufacturers, in an effort to avoid scratchiness, process merino in a way that tends to make it feel more like cotton or even silk. How they do this I'm not sure. ... |

Taylor Digital Wireless Thermometer 1434 There are a few different versions of this available--the important thing is to have a sending unit, which transmits the temperature where it is placed, and a "home" unit, which reads the te... |

Black Diamond Winter Bivy I wonder if the Epic in your bivy was somehow defective? (In which case BD should have sent you another, or refunded your money.) Backcountrygear.com currently has them on sale for $96.50, which i... |

North Face Beeline 900 The rating here is definitely price sensitive. I recently bought a new bag at outlet closeout for $90. The bag uses what I think is the best lightweight sleeping bag fabric, very lightly, or un, cal... |

GoLite Breeze I've had this pack out for 8 days at a time, maxing out @ 28 lbs, including water. I like the way the load seems to go down through the center of my spine, at least more so than with other packs whic... |
