JRB Weather Shield Review

[Just Jeff]

I posted a review of the JRB Weather Shield set on my site. It has pics of the JRB suspension system (same one as the Nest) if you're interested in that, too.

Summary:
The Weather Shield is a great product! Since I am trying to cut weight from my pack, I will not carry the Weather Shield on every trip, but I can foresee bringing it on certain hikes. For example, if I am confident of warm nights I might carry the undercover instead of the Nest underquilt to save weight and bulk. If I am expecting extremely heavy rains or rolling fog, I will take it in addition to the Nest for added protection.

Also, Yahoo seems to be adding extra characters when it uploads...anyone know why this happens? I think I got them all, but if you catch one please send me an email so I can fix it.

Wow, Jeff, nice report. I had forgotten about the Shield. I could have used something like that a couple of windy nights last summer. Jack's site mentions that if you do not use a HH A-Sym, just let him know, and he will modify the Shield with no charge.
