Re: The Ohm needs a pad? Gordon... A pad is not needed for structure at all, but I find that a thin pad between the gear and my back make's the Ohm extra comfortable. You can certainly get by without one. Packing bu... |

Re: sit pad Mike... There is a semblance of a slot in the pack, but not the same as a regular pad slot. I just place the pad in the pack first and then begin packing, while taking a little care not to move... |

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... |

Montbell U.L. 90 Sleeping Pad U.L. 90 I bought the 90 to use in conjunction with the MB pillow to make what amounts to a 3/4 mat. When I use it in shoulder seasons and into winter, I add a GG Nightlight Torso to the bottom end by punching... |
