First of all, I wouldn't recommend buying a men's because it's designed for men and has a different fit than the women's does. It's boxier with broader shoulders, etc. Secondly, if you're set on buying the "DENALI" and only the "DENALI," which I couldn't understand, then get a men's MED.

That's not really a question.But in the case that your question was, "Is this garment quick-drying," the answer is that it naturally wicks the moisture off of your body and then keeps your warm even if it is wet & cold, but wool is not as quick-drying as synthetic materials.

However, my wife & I both recently bought bc.com long undies and noticed that the stitching seems to be off making the left arm's thumbhole ill-placed. Also, they thumbholes are too small.

January 22, 2009

I am 5"10 and 160 lbs. I bought the Ladies XL and wore it for while. I found it to be tight in the shoulders, the waist was good but it seemed like it had a larger bottom for hips. The jacket never fit me right. I am wide shouldered and do not have hips. I ended up selling my ladies XL on e-bay and just bought a mens medium. It seems to give me more room in the shoulders, waist was good and no hips in the jacket! The only thing I do not like about it are the pit zippers. Other than that, I think it is a keeper. Light weight and warm. Oconomowoc, WIIf you're just "a little big in the waist" still go with the women's. If you have broader shoulders and more of a men's frame, go with the men's. Otherwsie, a women's would be better.

Icebreaker BodyFit 200 Legging w/Fly - Men's

Icebreaker BodyFit 200 Legging w/Fly - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 30, 2008

I love these bottoms. I used them for hiking/packing or even hunting. The 200 weight is great for active pursuits in cold temps or more stagnant hobbies with cool temps. They couldn't be more comfortable.

Sizing: A lot of people have mentioned that they run a size small, but I'd disagree. I'm 6' and a lean 200, and they fit nice a snug. These aren't meant to be pants, they're a long UNDERWEAR. They're supposed to be skin-tight, but not constrictive, to go underneath everything else. They're bomber and I'd recommend them to anyone.

If one is spending significant time on the trail, you should probably rely on more than a watch--er, "wristop computer." That being said, The functions are great, useful, and not that difficult with a little practice. (If you complain that your watch has too many functions, then get a simpler watch!) It's not hard if you read the manual. Certainly a great backup at the very least, and a great piece of equipment all around.

I only have 2 problems with them: first, they can sweat quite a bit, which can be annoying for off-the-trail use, and second, the mouth isn't wide enough for ice. Other than that, it's a great bottle for anything.

Define "seal." The jacket is waterproof and has a lifetime warranty, so if it starts to defect, you can get another, but it's generally recommended to treat rainjackets with DWR once a year/season or so (Or as needed).

The thermal is an alternative design with a higher loft fleece while the regular Denali is what you typically think of when you think of fleece. The thermal is a little shaggier, a little shinier, and packs down smaller for the trail. If you're wanting it for the trails, I'd go with the thermal. If you're wanting it for your teenage daughter who asked for a Denali jacket, get the regular; you don't want her to be mocked for not having the same as everyone else.

Define "you." If you're talking about Patagonia, then the answer is "no." They make capilene, and wool thermal underwear. Both are vastly superior to cotton in regards to heat/cool regulation, moisture, durability, and odor. If by "you" you're asking whether or not the site carries cotton long undies, then the answer is--I think--"no." Almost all long underwear bottoms are wool or a polyester of some sort for the reasons previously stated.

Rating for this product: 5 December 4, 2008

The wife loves her TNF fleece. She wears it out, on the trail, working out, and around the house. The wind can cut through it, but a light shell fixes it right up. It's retained its shape and doesn't show any signs of wear after dozens of washes. The wife loves it because she has a long torso and this fits her great. One caveat: she has the white, and other colors can bleed onto it quite easy, so be careful. Overall, a great layering piece.

Hydro Photon SteriPEN Classic Handheld Water Purifier

December 3, 2008

A Steripen purifies water but does not filter it. Filtering gets the grit and dirt chunks out of the water, and can be accomplished by using a cloth or fine mesh screen over your water bottle. You wouldn't neccesarily need a Katadyn filter, and it's a lot easier to port around a small cloth.By flashing the SteriPen for 90 seconds in a 1L bottle, you kill 99.9999% of all the bacteria and other nasties that are in your water. Seems a little hocus-pocusy? There's scientific proof (link below). I've used my SteriPen for quite some time now and absolutely love it. It's quick, light, and there's no taste in my water but water itself.http://steripen.com/testing.html__________________________________________________________Bandanas and coffee filters are great lightweight options as well for all you multiusers and gram counters.

Older pole sleeve designs could dam air, restricting flow resulting in more movement in high winds.I've had mine out with 25+ mph gusts and rain, and as long as you set it up facing the right way, there is absolutely NO leaking and the thing is waaaay sturdy.

Marmot Motion Jacket - Men's

December 3, 2008

So....what's the difference between this jacket & the Marmot Ion? (I can read, so obviously one has a hood and one doesn't; one has a front pocket and one a rear; etc.) But why have 2 wind shirt/jackets that are so similar? Am I missing something here?

Great pants for the price!

Rating for this product: 5 December 3, 2008

You should definitely go ahead and go for these w/the zips. The convenience makes the extra ounces/grams well worth it. These pants are easy on/off, repel water well, and the elastic waste is a nice plus.

These aren't gortex or Arc'teryx, but at $80 you can't beat 'em.

Great Layering Piece

The North Face Redpoint Insulated Jacket - Women's

The North Face Redpoint Insulated Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 December 3, 2008

The wife has this jacket and absolutely loves it. It layers great and easily combines w/a NF hardshell for a 3-in-1. It keeps her warm and is a good-looking piece. Well made with good features. Not heavy enough for a stand-alone winter coat, but a great trail/layering jacket!

Outdoor Research Gripper Glove - Men's

Outdoor Research Gripper Glove - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 3, 2008

Great gloves for fumbling around trying to heat up your stove and make some joe. They are a bit tight (intentionally), but they 100% block out the wind and are great for gripping. As mentioned, they are water resistant, but only resistant. If you really need something better than that though, look elsewhere (sealskin, etc.)

Great for hot summer nights. (Bowchikawowow)

Sierra Designs Sirius 3 - 3-Person 3-Season Tent

Sierra Designs Sirius 3 - 3-Person 3-Season Tent

Rating for this product: 5 December 3, 2008

This is an all-around great tent. I've used it in sweltering AR summer nights and cold, wet, windy spring ones as well. This thing has stood the test. As long as you set it up facing the right way (air scooping the wind when hot & dry, and against the wind when cold & wet) you've got nothing to worry about. Its setup in stupid-easy and it's made of good materials.

Cons: Vestibule space is nil & of course the zipper gets caught.

P.S. And w/most tents, if you're mainly going w/2 people, then you should spring for the 3 man tent; so on & so forth.

Great Bang for Your Buck!

Osprey Packs Aether 60 Backpack - 3500-3900cu in

Rating for this product: 5 December 3, 2008

I've used this pack over and over again for through hikes (as well as my only carry-on during vacation), and it's a great pack. It's comfortable even when packed to the brim and mine has yet to show even minor wear & tear. The Osprey peeps make a big to-do over the heat-wrapped hipbelts, but I never had a local dealer w/the machine and mine has always been just fine. Some of the compression straps seem a bit misplaced, but that's pretty minor. The only real con is the lack of any access other than top (but you know that going into it). Great pack. Get it in orange!!!

Patagonia Half Mass Bag - 1464cu in

Patagonia Half Mass Bag - 1464cu in

Rating for this product: 3 December 3, 2008

The wife has this bag, so I'm writing this in her stead. She likes it, but is always talking about how jealous she is of my Timbuk2 laptop messenger. This thing is good-looking and durable, and she likes the side pocket for a Nalgene, water bottle, or thermos. However she likes the laptop sleeve in my Timbuk2 more and my shoulder strap is adjustable. Bottom line: This bag is "aight" if you're a Patagonia fanatic, but why not just get a messenger from the company that made it's name in messengers?

The North Face Redpoint Insulated Jacket - Women's

December 2, 2008

The Apex Bionic is a softshell with a "spongy" exterior material and fleece lining. It can be layered, but it doesn't zip in (connect to) other NF waterproof hardshell layers. It's also a bit more weatherproof. The RedPoint is truly better for layer and on the trail. It's got a nylon exterior and is slightly stuffed. It compresses down smaller (into its own pocket), and can snap into a hardshell (creating a 3-in-1).

Patagonia Down Vest - Men's

December 1, 2008

I'm going back and forth between this and the Montbell Ultralight. The MB packs down to nothing and weighs a scant 6oz, but I wonder if it sacrifices warmth. Do we know how small this guy compresses? And surely it comes with a stuff sac right? -thanks
