Re: Changing Shelters - Go with a Pyramid?
I love 'mids. They seem to be the sweet spot for protection vs. weight. I like the BD tents, but I use them in the winter a lot - and their bug liners are very heavy. If you don't feel ...

Re: First Impressions of the European Model MSR Hubba Hubba HP
I have the US version and have been very impressed. This is one of those cases where a slight weight penalty gets you a huge amount of versatility. 4lb for a very comfy 2-person, 4-season, well...

The MegaLight and BetaLight provide the best ratio of weather protection to weight that I've found. They are nearly as good as a tent when pitched low, and are almost as light as a normal tarp....

What do you need?
If you are considering 4-season use or weathering alpine storms, I can heartily recommend the Hubba Hubba HP. It's bomber and mine is 4lb even plus stakes. It's luxurious for one and comfy ...

NanoPuff Photo
Here's me on Adams. Note the significant loft, snug hood, and overall fit. I could have cinched down the waist, but hadn't in that photo. Underneath is just a merino T and Houdini (blue pok...

Nano Puff!
I have the Hoody and love it. I used it on Mt. Adams in pretty cold and windy conditions and it was very warm. It's also an excellent sleeping layer, partly due to the snug fitting hood. Wei...
