Military gortex jackets are heavy. I use mine for winter only.
For the three season, you can't go wrong with frogg toggs. They never need to be refreshed. They will last a long while if you...
I bought an external frame pack on e-bay and chopped off tallest parts of the frame with a hack saw. Then I bought a nylon laundry bag and put some grommets in it and attached it to the frame. The...
I can't believe no one has mentioned the M65 jacket liner and matching pants.
10 bucks for 10 grams? A dollar per gram saved? At that rate you will spend 454 dollars to loose one pound. Wow. Your base weight must be SUL already.
Let's say you need about 15,000 cubic inches of loft for a zero degree bag. For 800 down, that's about 19 oz. For a 600 bag, that's about 25 oz. They should both be the same warmth, but the 800...

a little googling found the weight to be 1 lb 6.7 oz. For me that is too heavy for a 3 season garmet. I...
Hi Guys,
I had to chime in, because I am considering the Odyssey for a WINTER pack. I think some of you are confusing the Odyssey with a frameless go-lite pack. But the Odyssey has a full active...
and where are those instructions published?
I have their ultralight bivy. It's 6 oz and never let me down. Keeps my down bag clean and dry under my UL tarp. I don't see why other companies charge a lot more for simular products. I think I...
Are you bringing an insulating layer? I think your best bet is to try your bag in the yard this winter are various temperatures and with your insulating layers. You can use a 35 degree bag at 20...
I think you are mistaking about the weight of your light year 3d. Should be about 38 oz, not 22. If there was a 22 oz 25 degree bag out there for $80 everyone would buy it.
Which makes me...

2 years ago I had Rodney make me a custom sized G4 style pack. He used heavier fabric than the design called for, so it's VERY tough. I also had him add "hip snuggers" to pull the bottom close to...
I got a G4 custom made by this guy:

I got all the bells and whistles, and had it made out of very tough fabric instead of silnylon. It was not expensive,...
Have they replied to your e-mails or were you able to get thru on the phone? ( I assume you had some communication since you know that the cuben one is out of stock.)
don't forget the oware flatcat. I am eager to hear from someone who has one. It is apartently a hybrid flat/cat tarp. Cat but can be pitched like a flat? I am confused about it and there is not a...
If I bought this now, it would replace my
Rain gear frogg toggs = 12 oz
Tarp 5 X 8 sil= 7 oz.
Bivy equinox= 6.5 oz
Bug Bivy A-16 = 6.5 oz.
All that equals 2 lbs. So I'd break even. Now if...
I started with a pair of cheap poles without springs. They were ok, but then I tried my partners with the tilted cork handles and springs. I didn't want to give them back. I like the anti-shock...
I have one and it is always on my 3 season gear list. I use it with a tarp and it takes the worry out of rain splashing in. Last time I used it there was heavy rain and quite a bit of rain came...
When I hike solo I use a filter bottle just like AM. However I use it like a filter to fill my platypus if I don't see a stream on the map for a while. It takes longer than a filter but at 5 oz for...
