My Locale Boulder, CO
About Me I started backpacking as a teenager in southern appalachia. My summers in college were spent in mountain heaven, glacier national park. Since then, I've lived and played in the high sierras, the cascades, and now the colorado front range. Walking in the mountains with a light pack never seems to lose its charm. I recently picked up a bad habit called climbing.

Piton
I'd go with the piton if you're into awesome and offensively bright colors. I think its probably warmer than the R1 from trying it on in the store, and its a more versatile mid layer with t...

MLD Burn (Medium) $85
Love this pack, but the torso is too short. I bought this used on gear swap this past summer. It shows some use, but has plenty of life in it. There's a small tear at the bottom of the left sid...

wow,
didnt realize the phrasing would be so contentious. The reason I posted it is because its a glowing review of a product from a US cottage startup, well loved in these parts. Thought it could provid...

anyone want to get rid of one of these offensively heavy softshells? I'm hoping to find one of the updated models (2011-). Thanks.

I'm very impressed with this pack. I tried out a few packs for a planned AT thru hike (didn't pan out yet), and this was far and a away my favorite. With the stay and sitpad, the pack conforms...
