Re: I love em!!! How do the aggressive lugs feel on hardpacked dirt surfaces, like forest service roads and the like? FWIW, I wouldn't put too much stock in the marketing claims for the laces. They are notor... |

Re: Salomon Speedcross 2 - what's the upper made of? Update: According to Salomon CS, weight is a very respectable 290 grams ea. in M9 (also per their website). This despite the new "debris resistant mesh" upper, which I'm told was spec... |

Re: Salomon Speedcross 2 - what's the upper made of? Jesse (or anyone familiar with these shoes): Is the upper made of mesh as with many of the Salomon trail runners, or some sort of ripstop material? In other words, is it at all porous on the mac... |

Re: Dyneema G4 Very professional looking for a first attempt at a pack (and sewing?!) BTW, where'd you happen to source that Dyneema cross-rip? |

Re: The "SOFT SELL" to UL hiking To an extent, the brick-and-mortar retail shop may be incurably dysfunctional when it comes to UL offerings and advice, for a number of reasons: - Staff increasingly unknowledgeable because they... |

Re: PFDs for canoeing or packrafting For flatwater or low class whitewater, the Stormy Seas SV100 inflatable vest is popular among packrafters for its low weight and minimal stowed size, and low-bulk (non-inflating?) back area which i... |

Re: Packrafting Footwear Suggestions Does the SpeedCross 2 have a mesh upper? Photos I've seen seem to show more of a ripstop fabric, which jibes with the product description, ie "water and debris resistant upper" and &q... |

White Box Alcohol Stove The absence of a separate pot stand is an elegant little feat of stove engineering, and the design is marginally lighter than a pop can stove and stand (0.3 oz lighter than the Go-Torch by MoGoGear), ... |

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap The fact that the cape is entirely removable, rendering a standard ball cap, is both a boon and bane. The cap alone, with its hip, curved brim and streamlined look, passes the urban street test, w... |

Montbell Super Stretch Down Hugger #3 My new 2007 model 800-fill bag failed bigtime in the warmth department. Even with ample layering, pad, and use inside a tent, I couldn't seem to shake off annoying cold spots and a palpable sense ... |

Light My Fire Spork Other reviewers have covered the LMF Spork's merits. And while I certainly agree, there's just no getting around the fact that mine broke into two pieces after just two days of use. Inevitably... |

Granite Gear Vapor Trail This one doesn't quite reach cruising altitude for me. To begin with, the Vapor Trail's extension collar is unfathomably tall, and doesn't lend much functionality to this pack, but serves primarily... |

GoLite Infinity Make no mistake. This pack has a lot going for it. As others have pointed out, its 3000 ci capacity is just about perfect for thru-hiking ultralighters. In terms of organizational ability it is fe... |

Salomon XA Comp 2 I've enjoyed the weight, stability, and fit of the Salomon trail runners for years. Unfortunately the XA Comp seems to have devolved in recent times from a comfortable and durable product to one with ... |
