Re: country of origin? and windshell question Roleigh - I have not used the Montane Aero, though I have used other Montane wind shirts. It is probably fairly similar to those I listed - but I would put it into a different comparison group s... |

Re: can Don Wilson name the other Windshells < 5 oz Hi Roleigh - Sure, I can name a couple. The two other windshells that I am most familiar with, and that are most comparable to the Squamish, are the Patagonia Houdini and the GoLite Ether. Bot... |

Re: Thru Hike List-PCT Some comments based on my experience on the PCT. 1. Bring your sunshirt for the whole hike. And consider sun gloves for your hands. Your hands will fry in the desert with trekking poles. 2... |

Re: Re: What do you do to maximise mileage? Ditto all the above. But the clincher for me is to stay in tune with what my body and mind need. Drink a lot. Eat often. Pay attention to your feet. Change socks or wash your feet frequently w... |

Re: Shouting name I think there are 2 issues here. Scott can change his name so it is not in upper case. I beleive that is doable and customer support can help. There are also some folks who want their name... |

Western Mountaineering SummerLite Agreed. A superb bag - at the top of the pile for light mummy bags. See our review at: http://www.backpackinglight.com/cgi-bin/backpackinglight/western_mountaineering_summerlite_sleeping_bag_r... |

Nike Lava Dome Thanks for that blast from the past Randy. I wore a pair of Lava Domes for several years, including over 20 days of climbing on El Cap in Yosemite. Nothing is tougher on shoes than time spent aid cli... |

Complete Walker by Colin Fletcher His writing is unforgettable. In The Man Who Walked Through Time he describes a day spent lying naked on a beach along the Colorado, in a remote section of the Grand Canyon. I'll never forget his desc... |

Montane Featherlite H2O This jacket certainly caught our attention at BPL. We recently obtained a test sample from Montane and we'll be doing a full review. I'm anxious to get in into some nasty conditions. If it even has re... |

Western Mountaineering Flight Jacket I agree but of note for potential buyers - the XL is 13 ounces, more additional weight than I would have expected. But it is an excellent jacket. I'm still giving it a 5 also. |

GoLite Virga We'll be taking a closer look at the Virga in the near future. But the prototype version we tested was an exceptionally light jacket at 6 ounces, and performed reasonably well. It is lacking in du... |

Patagonia Micro Puff Pullover I've had mine for 6 months or so. I find I use it more than any other piece of insulating clothing. I've used it in the desert, mountains, rain forest - you name it. It stuffs easily into its own pock... |
