warm sock with lots of cushion
Patagonia Heavyweight Mountaineering Sock
September 9, 2007
This is a warm heavy-duty sock that provides good cushion for long trips. It has slightly more cushion than the SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf socks (thought the difference was not highly noticeable for me). It also has a more snug fit than the SmartWool socks. These socks would most likely be better for someone with smaller feet than the SmartWool socks, but possibly too snug for someone with larger feet or calves.

comfortable shorts
Marmot Invincible Short - Men's
September 9, 2007
These shorts are a pretty comfortable fit and the material is nice too. The pair I bought was to my normal size, but my waist is smaller now because I am in season working trail crew for the Forest Service. I was hoping the belt would help compensate for the relatively larger size of the shorts, but it is essentially worthless. The buckle does not hold the webbing in place so it will loosen up very quickly. The belt is also not suitable for attaching bear spray.

great for a minimalist
Petzl Zipka Plus Headlamp
September 9, 2007
It has been my experience that most people will rarely NEED more headlamp than this (though many might prefer more. It will attach around almost anything and can be easily traded between people with no strap adjustment necessary. The only problem with this is if someone tries to pull it off, the band will snap together, so it needs to be removed in the same way it was put on. It also makes the perfect reading light.

Good cushion and fit
SmartWool Mountaineering Xtra Heavy Mid-Calf Socks
September 9, 2007
This sock provides a great amount of cushion for your feet and have a slightly less tight fit than Patagonia Heavyweight Mountaineering socks. These fit better on my wide feet where the Patagonia socks felt a little too snug on my feet and calves. They do however have slightly less cushion on the bottoms than Patagonia's, but will most likely be a better choice for someone with wide feet.

gorilla mask
Outdoor Research WS Gorilla Balaclava
August 31, 2007
The WS Gorilla Balaclava is incredibly warm and blocks out wind better than any other one I have used. The only downside I have found is with the removable face pieces--they can be difficult to position comfortably and you might end up looking quite ridiculous, but with a name like Gorilla you should probably expect to look like one wearing it.
