Light and Strong

Voile XLM Shovel

Voile XLM Shovel

Rating for this product: 4 February 2, 2010

It is one of the lightest metal shovels out there. Can't really go wrong for its weight and strength.
The handle may be short but that hasn't proved to be a problem. It packs down nicely for backcountry ski tours as well. Only complaint is that mine weighs 18.1 oz, which is over the manufacturer's specs of 16oz. I recommend this irregardless.

Great lil pot

Backcountry.com Titanium Pot w/ Lid - 700ml

Backcountry.com Titanium Pot w/ Lid - 700ml

Rating for this product: 5 January 23, 2010

I must agree with "The Perfect Pot for me". Not much more to say. Very light, great price, good for two (rehydration only) or to cook in for one person. Simple and minimalist. Specs from previous review seem to be right on as well. Thanks BC.com, keep up the good work!

Marmot Alpinist Jacket - Men's

January 1, 2010

I would say small, as I am 5'10", 150lbs and wear a small in this jacket, whereas I'm usually a med in most brands. Hope this helps

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Insulated Parka - Women's

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Insulated Parka - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 4, 2009

With slightly thicker insulation than its non-hooded counterpart the thermawrap jacket, this lightweight parka is amazing. I got it for my lady who is 5'5" and ~110lbs in a med due to its slightly small sizing. It is a bit heavier than its down cousin but adds a margin of safety in the chance of it getting wet. It weighs a scant 309g w/ its included 7g stuffsack on our digi. The construction is impeccable as are all the MB products that we have purchased. It has an adjustable hood, hem, and a triangle of stretch fabric at the cuffs, which all are very functional It is definitely not bomb-proof due to its lightweight nature though, so no bushwacking. Overall an outstanding parka.
