What's the benefit of synthetic? I thought down was the way to go. Packs down smaller, higher warmth-to-weight ratio, high loft. I thought synthetic is heavier, has damageable fibers if packed too small, and doesn't pack as ... |

Weighing funky items... For things like socks, shirts, etc, I wad up the item and put a thin rubber band around it. It works great. The rubber band doesn't even register when put on the scale by itself. |

ProLite 3... You ProLite 3 owners... I just bought one last night. I haven't taken it out of the wrapper - and I'm debating about doing it now. Is it really as cold as you all say it is? It's ei... |

Wide... I just placed my order - maybe I'll e-mail him and add the wide option. Are there any disadvantages to having a roomier bivy (except the .4oz weight gain - I'll cut my toothbrush in half... |

Office Depot Got mine at Office Depot - $40 I think. Weighs up to 11lbs (great if you want to double check your entire base weight after measuring and packing all the items). Accurate up to 0.1 oz. (That pro... |

Wide bivy: To buy, or not to buy... That is the question. MLD's site says "Wide: For use with really wide bags or internal use of thick internal pads" on their Superlight Bivy. I haven't used a bivy before. W... |

I know how you feel... My Big Agnes tent was heavier than the specs (enough that I was a little miffed). I was about to buy a ProLite 3 short also. Anyone have an actual measured weight on that? (Claimed weight is... |

GoLite Jam2 What I like: 1) The shape of the shoulder straps fit me well, I never have to use the sternum strap (I removed it). The padding on the shoulders is very plush as well. 2) The very wide fabric c... |

Golite Ultra 20 I should preface that I am no quilt connoisseur. The only other quilts I've tried were a Jacks R' Better and an MLD quilt. (Both great products, just not what I was looking for). My size ... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket I love this jacket. My size large weighs in at 7.2 ounces. So far I haven't noticed any real down leakage. It is so light that when I toss it it "floats". It also packs nice and smal... |

REI Lite-Core Short I've gone back to using this pad after trying closed-cell foam pads only. Things I like: - It is fairly comfortable with 1.5" of foam. The comfort level for me rises dramatically bet... |
