Joining the Katabatic love-in Just have to echo everyone's experience with this company and it's expertly crafted products (I have a Bristlecone bivy). First class. And nearly all the products are available from stock, ... |

Superlight vs Bristlecone Mark, As you know I have the Bristlecone bivy (as yet un-tested) and an MLD Soul Side Zip. They are both extremely well made but another point to consider is that the Bristlecone is available fr... |

Looking for a pot / Bushcooker LT3 Hendrik, Wasn't Jason Klass knocking out simple lids for the Snow Peak pots? Hmmm, it's a tough quest. For some reason all of the pots over 1.3L I've looked at have frying pan lids. |

Allen and Mike's Backcountry Ski Book Pretty much the bible when it comes to winter backcountry travel and camping, and not just on skis. Knowledgeable, interesting, humorous and Mike's illustrations are cute and technically astute. ... |

Thermarest Neo-Air I purchased the Short version of this much lauded/derided sleeping mat and have to say it proved to be nothing less than exceptional. I'm a smidge over 6 feet and around 190lbs and once I realised... |

Inov-8 Debrisgaiter I agree with Sam's review above. The Inov-8 Debris Gaiter is almost perfect. The fit and functionality of the product was just what I was looking for when trail running and backpacking. Stretch... |
