Smartwool microweight T's I have not used a zip-T, but I know some people like them for ventilation management. I have been using a Smartwool l/s microweight T for almost a year and bought a s/s one for the warmer summer... |

Jardine's book is in the library I checked the book out from the library, read it, learned a few things, and returned it, my wallet still intact. I would not spend $75 on it. |

Boomer's Guide to Lightweight Backpacking by Carol Corbridge I was very disappointed in this book. Luckily, I didn't buy it but had checked it out from the library. For starters, the book is in major need of copy editing. There are lots of awkward sent... |

Hikelight.com Company I just discovered this website that is based in Oregon. It seems to be a distributor of some of our favorite brands - SixMoonDesigns, Tarptent, Montbell, GraniteGear, and Western Mountaineering. No ... |
