Re: Enjoying the wet I can't say I've honestly ever enjoyed wet weather hiking. Like Rick, in these parts it generally turns into type 2/3 fun pretty quickly. Problem is, the weather here can barely be predic... |

TarpTent Double Rainbow This is my favourite tent, BUT we have had to make a LOT of modifications to it to get it this way. Ours is the original version, and I think Henry has fixed a lot of these problems on newer models w... |

PossumDown Beanie (BPL Gear Shop) Beanie I tried the beanie (and gloves and socks) when they first came out in NZ. They are a nice, soft novelty item, but not worth the weight in my pack when it comes to warmth. My fleece windstopper beani... |

Montbell UL Down Inner Jacket I can't add a lot more to what the others have said except to add my vote. With the 2008 addition of zipper and handwarmer pockets this jacket now lacks for nothing in the 3-season warmth departm... |
