Re: Patagonia R1 or Ibex Indie? Different tools for different jobs. I have the R1 Hoody and the BPL beartooth and they are both great. I use the beartooth for winter running as it regulates body temps better and I use the R1 in... |

Re: Re: Re: "Petzl Core" So I took my Tikka2 with Core battery attachment out last night for an hour long trail run and it was great. The battery addition does not change the profile of the light (i.e. no bouce) and I was... |

Re: More New BPL Products for 2010 I bought a ti lid for my snow peak 600 mus and it came with a wooden handle. I thought it was weird at first too but it has proven highly functional and pretty cool looking to boot. |

Re: Re: "Petzl Core" I agree Craig, I have been using the new Tikka 2 for about a year now and the small close to the head profile is great for running. Much lighter and more stable than my EOS. Also like that it lig... |

Re: Princeton Tec hey Eric, I will hand it to you that my PT EOS R is great, but until they come up with a solution like this I will keep it for hiking only. This Tikka setup looks pretty great for those that use ... |

Princeton Tec EOS I have been using the EOS-R for alittle under a year now and have been super happy with it. For some odd reason I find night-time winter trail running "fun" and this is the only headlamp I ... |

ULA Circuit I purchased this pack alittle over a year ago and simply put, this may be one of the best overall trekking packs for hikers with a well dialed kit. While it is alittle much for a weekend trip it is g... |

Six Moon Designs Europa First off I must say that for the vast majority of my trips I strongly prefer a tarp/bivy combo. But for those times when I need a full tent, the Europa has always worked pretty darn well for me. Wh... |

Golite Umbrella 3 Months ago my wife and I were walking the Wilderness trail out to our car on a rainy Sunday morning. As we walked down the trail we were approached by a traditional packer wearing a kilt (yes a mal... |

Therm-A-Rest Ridgerest While this is def not a highly coveted drool inducing piece of kit, it is one of those items I never realized how much I depend on. Being 6'4" A torso sized pad is just not enough for me. B... |

Arc FlashLight Arc AAA I am actually pretty surprised that no one has submitted a review for this little beauty. As far as lighting goes I am pretty sure this is the most versatile light sources I own. I have carried it o... |

Inov8 Flyroc 310 As a trail shoe I do not think it gets much better than the Flyroc's. With their forefoot space, amazing trail feel and fast drying mesh they are pretty close to perfect for New England hiking. ... |

Backpacking Light STIX (2008) All in all a great trekking pole. It is durable,light and very stiff. I have taken several dives on them and they have held up very well. My only complaint is that the tip and grip area are not repl... |
