Living in the desert climates, having a waterproof bag is not my highest priority. This bag is light weight, packs down very small and keep me very warm in the cold desert nights! Most of the time, I tend to overheat in it, but I do sleep pretty warm. I like how roomy the bag is and it works great to zip in with another Marmot bag!

Great item to bring with you on every backpacking trip! Nice and small, lightweight, and it allows you to sit in comfort just about anywhere! I just strap mine to the outside of my pack and when I'm ready to use it, the assembly is ridiculously easy. Just slide the pad in the sleeves, attach the buckles and you're ready to relax after your trek.

Great for layering or just by itself! Will definitely keep you warm and dry, unless you're trying to swim in it...or if it's raining really hard.
The only thing I would change, would be to make it more athletic fit, the sleeves are perfect, but the body is a bit baggy for my likes...or I'm just really skinny...

Can't go wrong with a bit of chili mac. It's filling, tastes pretty good(could use more spice). This combined with a cold one is a sure winner in my books!

between this and the chili mac, I'd be set for months! Could use a bit extra spice, but it has still got a great flavor! Says 2 servings, but if there are two hungry people, you might want one pack each.

Great socks! superb fit and they definitely do their job of keeping my feet comfy and not too stinky!

FYI: The white socks are shorter than the black ones...

These are some of the best hiking socks I have ever worn! Plenty of cushion where it's needed and they fit so well, there is never any bunching!
I love the way these keep my feet from getting too stinky...

These are some great synth socks, but I'm still sold on merino socks. These fit very well and are very comfy on long hikes/runs, but I would still prefer the feel of merino.
Another plus is the roll on the cuff, it really keeps the sock from slipping down.

Your basic straps. Not much too them, but the last forever! I only wish they had more of a ratchet system.

Love the cargo room and the space in the cocpit, Just make sure you remember to insert the leg braces otherwise it's a bit too roomy. The rudder is a really nice system and very responsive. Overall, a great camping boat!

Really light weight and just as basic as any foot print, but the durability is sh!t. I had holes from pine sticks after the first use! Good thing it isn't very expensive.

I recently got to check this boat out, and gotta say, short boats are pretty fun! Super easy to turn(180 in two strokes), extremely stable and fairly comfy! Only problems are this boat doesn't glide or hold a straight line to save it's life, but thats to be expected with a shorter boat. If the bar in the seat is bugging ya, just tighten the straps and your problem will be solved!

Tons of space in the boat! you could probably smuggle some...soda or candy in this boat! Super easy to turn and very stable. The molded skeg makes holding lines easier than the shorter boats too!

This pot can boil! No doubt about it! Less than three minutes and it's even fast if you put some salt in the water! And I love how it all fits inside itself. One downsides I found, are it's a bit big for long backpacking trips, a bit heavy and no simmering. So don't try to make pancakes or anything that involves more than boiling some water.

this pot holds plenty of water for dehydrated foods, but it still has the ability to simmer and slowly cook stuff like pancakes and such. It's great how it all fits into itself too! Great system for backpacking!

These are some wicked comfy shorts! super soft and if they get wet, they dry in seconds!! And on top of that, they are pretty stylish!

Damn, that is a sweet Earth you might say! WTF, Mate^^

So, I haven't actually worn these shorts, but upon surfing the site and reading the reviews I just wanted to point out the Backcountry.com's description clearly stated at 10" inseam. So, for me, a 5'10" male, shorts with a 10" inseam are knee length shorts and any longer and I would be wearing man-pris.

I went climbing for the first time in a long while last week and I loved it! So, I had to get some shoes of my own. After lots and lots of research, I decided on these and boy am I glad I did. These are amazingly comfy and really conform to my foot. I usually wear a 9.5 for skate shoes so I went with a 9 and it was a great choice. With little break-in time, these shoes are working greatly! Super sticky and perfect for any climber

So, I have always had a hard time fitting glasses as I have a large head with a smallish face. But these glasses are the first ones that fit perfectly! They are tight so they aren't falling off when I'm falling down a hill but they aren't too tight to where I can't think straight.

Awesome fit with a great look to them and they are super durable!

These are the best goggles I have ever purchased! They have never fogged up and they are super easy to change out the lenses! I've used Smith, and Scott goggles in the past and they have always fogged or had pinch points, but not these. These goggles ROCK!!!

It's truly amazing how warm these are! When you feel them, they feel very thin and you can actually see through them. But the first time you put it on, you WILL feel the difference!! Every time I wear these, I overheat to the point where I have to take off layers! These an amazing must have base layer!
