Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof

October 14, 2009

I actually own an Osprey pack so thats good to know, thanks!

My other concern is regarding their application procedure. Looks like they say to apply from the inside? The inside of my pack sees a lot of action: books, notebooks, laptop in and out about a dozen times per day throughout the week.

I'm wondering if all this friction will wear down the water repellent coat quickly? Does it work just as well if the coating was applied to the outside instead?

Nikwax Tent and Gear Proof

October 13, 2009

I'm looking to do away with umbrellas, permanently. I've already got the outerwear covered (mostly Gore-Tex) but I still need a solution for my backpack (carries overpriced college books, and a laptop most of the time).

Does anyone have experience with using this water repellent on packs? how effective is it and if it goes a long period without getting wet (no rain) does the coating dry up and flake off? (or in general become less effective?)

Rating for this product: 5 August 20, 2007

Beyond the convenience of being compact and light, the Z-Lite gives you that little extra piece of mind that it won't go flat on you because you've parked on that one jagged little pebble that you swore you brushed away when you cleaned your site.

Works well

Rating for this product: 4 August 20, 2007

The medium was a bit smaller than I'd hoped for. Couldn't get a sleeping bag into it, so I compact my socks, underwear, a towel, beanie, and a sweater; so it worked itself out.

Do I have weird feet?

Salomon Mega Trek 6 Light GTX Backpacking Boot  - Men's

Salomon Mega Trek 6 Light GTX Backpacking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 20, 2007

Unlike most reviewers for these boots, I had a super hard time breaking these puppies in. They fit perfectly, provides great ankle support, kept my feet super dry, and gripped the terrain like there was no tomorrow. However, the bend at the front pinched the life out of my feet. I put 10 solid miles on them throughout the course of a weekend and my toes felt like they were going to fall off. Besides my poor toes, though, the rest of my feet love these boots!

This snap shackle is super handy around the camp site. It got passed around so much at one point I thought I'd never get it back.

Among two other experienced hikers and 15 backpacking miles later, I came home with 1 real blister, about 5-6 less than everyone else. Good socks, I hope they last - they'll see more action soon.

Rating for this product: 5 April 12, 2007

Best backpack I've owned to date. I use it to get me around campus from class to class, but I do plan on taking it camping as well; it looks like it would be great for use as a day-pack when hiking.
