Re: Re: Re: Bug netting in Gatewood Cape I recently decided on a Brawny Sleep Net at 3.25oz from AntiGravity Gear. I liked the way it went over the top half of a bag rather than being pegged or tied down. I'm using this strictly for s... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Parka This is a perfect jacket, but the parka hood made me drop my score from a 5(+) to a 4. At 7.5oz for a Large, it's the lightest jacket I own, by far. Packs up smaller than a softball. Perfect over... |

Titanium Goat Adjustable CF Trekking Poles I waited until after I completed my thru hike of the Long Trail to post this review. I wanted to take them through the wringer that this trail provides and see how they faired…the answer was varied. S... |
