Great Bag!

Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina 15 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Synthetic

Rating for this product: 4 July 31, 2007

Super comfy, and warm. I love the how you can unzip both of the 1/4 zippers from the bottom, so you can put your arms out to cook breakfast with your bag still on! My only problem was that it is a little heavier than I would like, but the other features make up for it.

Rating for this product: 5 July 31, 2007

I love the auto double back! Nice that its only on one side as well. VERY lightweight in comparison to my old Petzl Corax. I like the different shape of the molded gearloops. I also like the haul loop on the back, makes trailing a rope 10 times easier. All in all, This is a great harness!

These are the most comfortable flip lops I've ever worn!! I love that you can cinch down the strap when you go hiking or paddling or whatever. They do seem to run about a half size big, so size down.

Mine has worked fine so far, no damage at all. You just have to make sure that ALL the air is out of your pad, so it fits better. Either way, it does what it says it does, holds your pad.

Therm-a-Rest ProLite 4 Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 July 31, 2007

Good sleep is vital on any backpacking trip. Nothing sucks more than losing sleep and waking up with a sore back, when you have to hike for 9 hours the next day. This pad is great!!! I sleep better in the backcountry than I do at home. Plus it is wicked light! I suggest also picking up the stuff sack.

Rating for this product: 5 June 22, 2007

As far as the jet boil goes, I wont go camping without one. Lightning fast, light weight, and compact. Great!! The coffee press is neat, and works well with very coarse ground coffee. The only problem I have is its a little tricky to get everything contained inside with all the press attachments. This is a MUST HAVE!!

Arc'teryx Needle 45 Backpack - 2624-2868cu in

Rating for this product: 5 June 22, 2007

The best feature about this pack is the HUGE fish-mouth-like opening to put your gear in! I climb a lot and I hate trying to stuff all my gear in the tiny opening that my old pack has. With the needle, all you do is grab the handle, and drop in your whole rack. The bag just swallows it all, like the whale chomping down on poor Jona. Plus, its the most comfortable pack I've ever owned. This is a great pack for climbing!!!

Rating for this product: 5 May 15, 2007

The lacing system on these is wicked sweet. The laces lock into place on every eyelet so you can get them as tight as you want, and they stay there! Also, I have a narrow heel and my heel slips in every other boot i've ever had, but my foot is locked in place in these. I wear a size 8 shoe and fit in a size 6.5 boot, so size down!

Rating for this product: 4 May 8, 2007

This is a sweet helmet!! It is the lightest thing I've ever picked up. I don't even realize its on my head! Also, The contoured shape of the back of this helmet lets me look straight up and the helmet doesn't hit my back, or get in the way if I have my bag on!!! The only thing is that I wouldn't use a foam helmet for ice climbing or caving.

Rating for this product: 5 May 8, 2007

This shoe fits better than a glove. I love how the lace goes around the heel so you can cinch your heel in. These are the best trad shoe I've ever had. I would order a size or so smaller than sneaker size because the leather on these stretches out after a while.
