Re: Re: Re: Bivy Q's >Understandable, but maybe risky. I suspect this might significantly increase the amount of condensation inside the bivy. Compromise. True enough, and indeed that's exactly why I made it ... |

Re: Bivy Q's 1- built in full net hood is best for me in most situations. I like to be able to look around me at night. 2- it stays put because I put my sleeping pad and bag inside it. 3- make. it's way ... |

wm I've never seen a sale on a Western Mountaineering bag, but I've seen some very slightly used ones sell on ebay and the gear swap here for as little as half of retail. |

wool 1? I also thought that the elusive "wool 1" was yet to be introduced, so for now Patagonia's line starts with "wool 2" as their lightest layer. However, I do believe that the ... |

Re: Reporting Back on Mixing Sunblock and DEET Mount Whitney... Why would somebody need bug spray up there? |

one handed water purification I use Aqua Mira as my primary water treatment. If you set the bottles on the ground, it wouldn't be any harder than anything else to do it one handed. However a decidedly easier method would ... |

spinntex exp Is the Spinntex EXP as noisy a fabric as normal spinnaker? |

softshell? The trouble with ultralight windshirts is that they are made of a fabric that doesn't stretch. So when you get one that "fits" like a normal shirt would, it's too constrictive to... |

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 ... |

Petzl e+LITE There is always a compromise between battery life, brightness, and weight in headlamps. The Petzl e+ is no exception, but its set of compromises is really intriguing. It weighs only a shade under ... |

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... |

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... |
