Re: Re: IBS ruined my spring break :( I haven't yet been to the doctor, but the army medic I was hiking with suggested this was my problem. On downhills I was getting a sharp pain on the outside of my left knee. On uphills it did... |

Dirty Girl Gaiters Just got back from WT1: DSW in Escalante and it was a brutal test for these gaiters. First off I'd like to say that I had to get mine altered to fit my tiny ankles AT NO EXTRA COST! Very awesome... |

Backpacking Light Merino UL Pants So soft and warm! I wear these on rainy days of trail work in ID under my rain pants on a regular basis. Very comfy with no chafing seams so you can go commando in them. Being a girl I like the fac... |

Big Agnes Seedhouse SL2 I primarily use the body of the seedhouse in fair weather when the mosquitoes are voracious. Recently I used the whole setup in Glacier NP on a windy ridgetop. I employed all the guylines and got it... |

Mountain Hardwear Phantom 32 F, 800 down Toasty warm, light and water repellent. I couldn't ask for more. The snug hood makes a world of difference in retaining body heat. |

REI UL Flash This bag is awesome, as others have said. It is my everyday go-to pack. Points off for the new pukey green color and the fact that REI reduced the # of inner pockets from the older model, which is a... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket My girlfriend christened this jacket "the furnace." It is super toasty and super light. I love to let people try it on so they see how light it is. The zipper cover by your chin is a nice... |

(Ladies Underwear!) Hanes TAGLESS® Opaque Boy-Short Women's Panties I have been using these for a while now and think they deserve a nod. These undies are nylon/spandex. They weigh almost nothing and dry in a heartbeat. Since they are shorties and come in fun patte... |
