Best socks for long days

Rating for this product: 5 January 21, 2010

I now have 6 pair of these for my Everest climb. I have worn these socks in double plastic boots for 6 hours plus: rock climbing, cramponing, and mixed climbing - and they stayed in place! Also, no blisters!

Patagonia Micro Puff Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 21, 2010

I love this jacket. It fits well, is warm, but not bulky. When I fully zip the neck the zipper is covered and does not scratch my skin: Perfect to sleep in on cool nights in a tent.

GoLite Pinnacle Pack - 3700cu in - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 19, 2009

Great, super light-weight pack that fits my body well. I can load it up to the top and it still stays in place while climbing.Also, it can compress out to a small pack - which makes it two packs in one.

Osprey Packs Talon 33 Backpack - 1900-2000cu in

Rating for this product: 4 November 28, 2009

Ok, this pack would get 5 stars plus except: The chest strap is too high and chokes me if I wear the back on my hips. I do, however, love everything else about the pack so I took it to a trailor and had the strap lowered. It is light wieght but holds a lot! I love the way it fits to my body. To make it even lighter, I removed the back support so now it only ways about 9 oz! This is the pack I will be using to trek into Everest base camp this spring. I have a different pack for the summit climb.

I loved the twistlock but the carabiner is too big and too heavy to carry up high mountains.

They took up too much depth inside my boot - too thick! Luckily, I saved my old insoles and could switch back.

I liked everything except the backlighting is to dim or something. At night, I could not read the time :(
But the watch is very comfortable.
