pull-on sun shirt as baselayer: does it exist?
I use a button up polyester sun shirt that works great against mosquitoes. While reading another post about the Rab Boreas, a piece that I'm totally unfamiliar with, it occurred to me that a pu...

"Rab Boreas Pull-on Size Medium $48 shipped"
Actually I suddenly am intrigued by the idea of a pull on sun shirt. I wear a polyester button up sun shirt that's terrific against mosquitoes and is spf 30 I think. A pull on that weighs as mu...

Cotton doesn't kill people. Cottonmouths kill people, or make them very sick. Still, I never wear cotton while backpacking. I don't want to get bit.

Sawyer squeeze vs. steripen
I'm thinking through a new system (for me) for filtering water. I'd decided on a Steripen with a 1 1/2 liter wide mouth soft water bottle. I want to use this system for easy and quick hydra...

Steripen Opti still the way to go?"
