Long Torso Packs Ditto about the larger ULA packs like the Catalyst. They fit my long torso better than any other off-the-shelf pack of it's size. In the volume range you're after---My Zip fits me very well... |

Marmot Ion The following is referring to the 2005 Ion. The good news is that I found that holy grail of UL wind shirts---a hooded windshell in Pertex Quantum with a full zip. It "breathes" fanta... |
