This is an excellent jacket for winter use, a little too much for summertime. Sheds water very well and the fabric is tough. My only complaint: Velcro on sleeves wears a hole in the fabric, doesn't affect jacket performance, but for the price the thing should be bullet proof.

This is my favorite piece of clothing, very warm for its weight and sheds rain well. Packs so small you don't even know it's in your pack.

This is an okay jacket, blocks wind and sheds rain fairly well when its new. Does not ventilate well, but works great to keep you warm when you stop hiking. The front pocket is useless and funny looking, also the draft stopper does not work well. If I had it to do over again I'd go with an Arc'teryx.

This is my go to shirt for any kind of aerobic activity in any weather, if it gets wet it dries faster than any other garment I own. If its hot there are vents galore and a hip sunblocking collar. If its cold a long sleeve worn underneath blocks up all the vents. I own two of these shirts and plan on buying more.

This hat looks funny, but it performs like no other. It has no form just mesh cap with a brim, so its kinda floppy. However it keeps your head very cool and dries muy rapido.

This tent is fantastic, I tell strangers I meet on the street about it. The setup is unorthodox but once you get used to it poles on the inside have some significant advantages. If you're setting the tent up in the rain, you dive inside and stay dry while putting the poles up. Also the fly is built on there so it doesn't become a rain catcher during setup like traditional double wall tents. Three can sleep in there if you don't mind getting cozy with your neighbor, and there is room in the vestibule to store boots and packs, however I consider this tent a two person plus pup. Great for stargazing.
