Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 2 January 7, 2009

Lightweight and very quick to pack up, but not worth the night's sleep that comes with it. My husband and I both tried new Z-lites one night in Shenandoah (around 30deg) and were warm enough, but miserably uncomfortable. Our 15yr old Trail Thermarests were a welcome sight.
Probably a better choice for soft ground or an additional barrier under another pad.

Absolutely ROCKS!

MSR Reactor Stove

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

Fantastic design! Performs like a champ at moderate altitude (9-10,000 ft) & cold conditions (20-30deg F) & strong winds (20-30mph). Very neat and clean design which is hassle free and frustration free to operate and packup- even with your gloves on. Yeah, it has no simmer, but for backpacking food- who cares? We keep around a Whisperlite and skillet for car camping when our cooking gets more ambitious.

Very comfortable, adjustable

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

My first backpack (so no direct comparisons), but I was very impressed with the comfort and 65-million-way adjustability of this pack. My husband was using an old external frame and I was definitely more comfortable in my pack after 2 days. Good back support. Hip belts rubbed some, but learning to adjust the pack for my load and hike fixed this. Sleeping bag compartment was too small for my bag (a L Marmot stuff sack), but fit my husband's M bag quite nicely. 5 lbs in my daypack felt heavier than 30 in this pack!! :)

Warm & high quality

Marmot Teton Sleeping Bag:  0 Degree Down - Women's

Marmot Teton Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 7, 2009

Nice and toasty in near-freezing temps. Gets pretty warm above that. Very happy with the shape, draft tube and collar. I have the long and I'm a little disappointed I can't get it into a Medium stuff sack. Would also like to zip-together with hubby's Sawtooth, but the zipper gauge is different! No warning of this in Marmot's descriptions (different year or rating?).

Easy to use

MSR SweetWater Purifier System

Rating for this product: 4 January 7, 2009

Quite easy to operate. Little confused / paranoid about the best way to repack it on the trail to avoid cross-contamination. (I'm a microbiologist & and so always thinking about this.)
