Nice lightweight jacket

Montane Slipstream Jacket - Men's

Montane Slipstream Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 October 22, 2009

I bought this as a backup for bike excursions and, of course, the low price. Pertex seems a great material that is showing up on the lighter gear, seems pretty strong to me. This is a very light jacket that packs really small so I always have it with me. Once I have tried it in more serious weather I may modify this review.

Montane Bionic T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 October 22, 2009

Nicely designed shirt that works well in shifting temperatures. Its still too warm in CA right now to really test this but I like.... Montane enjoys a good reputation in Europe and the price on these was great. I might give it 5 stars after I have tried it in the cold.

Great Jacket, could use pit zips

Montane Super-Fly Jacket - Men's

Montane Super-Fly Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 22, 2009

I have only tried this jacket once last week in the remnants of a Pacific typhoon down by the bay. Horizontal rain, windy and just a generally fairly nasty afternoon. The jacket fits me very well, no sizing problems of any kind. Its very waterproof but at this stage in its life it should be. An excellent well designed hood, I usually wear a hat because of the vision but that was unfeasible on that day so I tried the hood. Just to test how breathable this jacket is I ran some distance and I think it could use pit zips or something to vent the inside. I was wearing merino as a base so the damp does not matter too much but the jury is still out on that. It was a warm day as well. Overall I think it is great, the half price on EVent was brilliant and I have a picture of Chris Townsend wearing this jacket so it cannot be too bad...

Sea To Summit 100% Premium Silk Sleeping Bag Liner

August 26, 2009

No zipper, just a large bag. Very good in my experience, especially if you have spent some money on a nice down bag. This keeps your sleeping bag from getting gnarly and washing the silk is a 10 minute easy job.

Added: Use Woolite and air dry the liner, no problem. For sizing diagrams see the Sea to Summit website, they show nice pictures of the liners.

Perfect Lite Jacket

Arc'teryx Gamma LT Pullover Softshell Jacket- Men's

Arc'teryx Gamma LT Pullover Softshell Jacket- Men's

Rating for this product: 5 August 26, 2009

I love this jacket for late Spring to early October. Breathes really well, warms the body well when needed and holds off the rain on drizzly days. Great for hiking and of course biking. Only downside is the lack of hem drawstring but I added that and am now ready to go..... It is a bit pricey but Arc is really high quality - take a look at the seams! How many stitches per inch???

Pretty awesome shirt

The North Face Apex Zip Shirt Jacket - Men's

The North Face Apex Zip Shirt Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 8, 2008

Works really well for biking in the Bay area. Enough wind gets through to give some cooling and will hold off everything but a major downpour. Nice to wear for hiking as well. And it does have a drawstring which I think is great. Very happy with this shirt....

Nice jacket that keeps you warm in moderate conditions. Beware of the sizing - things are smaller than usual - I needed an XL instead of L. One negative - needs a drawstring on the waist. Customer service exceptionally good !

Looks like a very nice pullover but beware of the sizing. Everything is a little small so I needed an XL instead of L. Cannot wait to try this on a wet bike ride....

When you warm up in your pants things begin to itch a little but it is wool, otherwise a great comfortable brief. Probably needs colder temperatures for their best effect.

For day hikes this is the ultimate. Very airy on your back (good for CA), takes a lot of gear (not sure where it all comes from) and very comfortable to carry.

Good Gear

The North Face Reservoir

The North Face Reservoir

Rating for this product: 4 June 22, 2004

Good: Carries very well and insulates the water. Lots of space to store water and a large pack compared to most CamelBak models.

Bad: No small pocket to store keys, knife etc. North Face water bottle is pathetic.
