Not a bad little guy

Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Tarp-Poncho

Sea To Summit Ultra-Sil Tarp-Poncho

Rating for this product: 4 September 13, 2009

Like almost any piece of essential gear, this guy is costly. I could hardly justify $80 for a tarp/poncho but in the end it proved it's worth. Got caught out on the trail at about 9000ft when a freak storm rolled in and dumped hail and rain on a less experienced (and less prepared) friend. He was soaking wet and cold. Me, bone dry and toasty. I quickly pulled off the poncho strung up some rope and a trekking pole and viola! Quick shelter for my friend to get warm, change into dry clothes and wait out the storm. Still, you could probably make you own (albeit heavier) for far less than $80.

$50 for a T-shirt! Okay.

Icebreaker GT150 Velocity Crewe - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 10, 2009

Wore the same shirt every day hiking in 90 degree heat with a 30lb pack. Came off the trail and the shirt didn't have a bit of stink on it. Amazing. Comfortable, wicks moisture, keeps you cool, dry and smelling nifty. Worth every penny. They do run a little small though. I'm usually a medium and went with a large.

Review Title

Therm-a-Rest Lite Seat Camp Chair

Therm-a-Rest Lite Seat Camp Chair

Rating for this product: 5 September 9, 2009

Just brought this pad on a 8 day hike in the rocky Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho. Every rock was my recliner. The rest of the group was pretty envious of my little ass cushion and I don't blame em. It could be the best 3oz in your pack.

Therm-a-Rest Neoair Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Neoair Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 September 9, 2009

This pad is nothing short of unbelievable. Check the other reviews for specific pros (side sleeping, warmth, sticky top) and cons (for $150 you can't give me the damn stuff sack?). I took this pad out to the Idaho Sawtooths for 7 nights through sunshine and hail and slept like a baby every night. Yeah, it's expensive, but that's why I have a job. Best. Pad. Ever.

Em, not so much

Ex Officio Give-N-Go T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Ex Officio Give-N-Go T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 August 11, 2009

Let it be said that I completely LOVE the Ex Officio underwear (I've replaced my whole nappy drawls collection with them)The shirt is made of the same material, however, something is truly missing in the comfort department, I don't know if it's weird seams (of which, there are some in the neck and armpit area) or that the fabric that feels good on my boys just don't feel so good on my chest and back. Something about that waffled fabric grabbed at my chest hairs and didn't want to let go. If I'm going to pay $40 for a performance T-shirt it better be comfy as hell.
Sent this one back and traded up to an Icebreaker GT series. Mo pricey, yes, but waaay more comfy.

Pretty freaking amazing

Ex Officio Give-N-Go Boxer Brief - Men's

Ex Officio Give-N-Go Boxer Brief - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 13, 2009

After 30miles in the damp Smokey Mountains I surprised to find that my taint area was far less chapped than it should have been for the weather we had. In short, pricey underwear, but totally worth it
