I have a OR sack very similar to this one, and it is absolutely fabulous! The ability to stuff your clothes in this sack and compress it and leave it out in the rain, and in the morning, when you are wet and freezing cold, to be able to pull out a dry shirt, when everything else that you have is soaking wet, is a feeling that you can't put a price on. This is a must have piece of gear if you have ever had to backpack in the rain.

Man, this stove rocks! I used this thing for a three day backpacking trip and I fell in love with it. I boiled water for two breakfasts, and two suppers for two guys and I don't think I even used half of a 8oz. can. The stove is sooo light and small too! I don't know how it does in extreme altitude, and extreme cold, but it didn't flinch in windy, upper thirty's conditions. If you need a lite, easy to use backpacking stove, look no further!

This thing is great. It's amazing how much water it absorbs for its weight, and it dries incredibly fast. I would highly recommend this for backpacking.

This thing is light, bright, and reliable. It's everything you need in a headlamp.

This flatware is just awesome! It's scary how light it is, and it's really strong. What more do you need to know? Just buy it!

This thing is durable, packs small, and is easy to clean. It might be slightly heavier than some other option, but it's worth the extra half ounce. If you need a backpacking bowl that will last forever, get the X-Bowl!

I bought the Indian clay red shirt; I am 6'2", 150lbs. and the large fits fine. It is an all around good shirt. It is well made, durable, and comfortable. I have two criticisms of this shirt though: #1 They could amp up the graphics just a bit, Throw a logo on the front or something to make the look a little more striking. #2 The biggest complaint about it though is the price. Thirty-eight bucks is way too much for the shirt; if they knocked the price down about twenty bucks, they would sell twice as many. I bought it when it was on sale and I had a credit at Backcountry.com. All and all, I don't think you would be disappointed in the performance this shirt, just get it when it on sale.

I bought the gunnison green 50L pack and I have used it on several fairly short hikes
with small loads and I am very impressed. Though I haven't been on a backpacking trip with it yet, I was able to fit a two-man tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, light jacket, and an extra change of clothes in it without it exploding.(but just barely) Because of the gear bungees on the sides of the pack, you can easily tie some of your gear on the outside to free up space on the inside. I'm sure if I packed lite, I would have room for a two or three day backpack trip. Even though I haven't been on a trip with it fully loaded, I have worn it around the house with it filled up and it is extremely comfortable. There are ample adjustments on it so that you can really make it fit your body. All the zippers are strong, and the material is thick and durable. I like the design of all the compartments.
If I could change one thing about this pack, I would make the water bottle pockets out of a more elastic material. It pushes in on the pack when you put a Nalgeen in them and it makes the inside smaller. If the inside is packed tight and you pull out your bottle, you have to struggle to get it back in without removing something from the main compartment. Other than than that, I have no complaints about it. I would recommend getting the 55L model if you need it for several day trips to give you a little more room. All in all, it is an excellent pack at an unbeatable price.

This is a great fleece pullover. It is quite warm despite being lite. It looks great and feels great. I would highly recommend this pullover.

I absolutely LOVE this shirt. It looks great, and it feels even better. It does, however snag easily; and it does soak up body odor rather quickly. It is still a great shirt, and I wear it all the time. I would recommend this shirt to anyone who doesn't spent all the time walking through briers.

I bought these pants several months ago and I absolutely LOVE them. The material is tough but comfortable. They don't pack quite a small as my other North Face pants (The North Face Horizon convertable pants), But they are thicker than my other ones. I love the built-in belt, which saves weight and space by not having to carry a separate belt. It does still have durable belt loops, which allows you to hang stuff from your waist. The pockets are well designed to handle all your carry-ons. The zip off leg are a great too. These pants are wonderful, and I would recommend them to anyone.

Ok, so your not going to be spotlighting out of a helicopter with it, but it is plenty bright to see around your campsite at night with it. It's lite-weight and durable, so I always carry it with me. I do like the fact that it runs on two AAA batteries, which are lite and store easy if you need to pack some extra batteries. For twenty bucks, I don't see how you can beat it.

I LOVE these shoes. I have been on many long hikes in these shoes and they have past the test. I have walk through many creeks and have never had these shoes leak a drop. The Vibram sole performed great. As with all TNF products, I highly recommend these shoes.

These Tevas are just awesome! They are without a doubt the best designed sandals I have ever seen. I wear these all the time; they are extremely comfortable. The Toachi has excelled at every situation I have had them in. The soles are very grippy on dry and wet ground. The toe guards should be on every sandal made. They have saved my big toes many times. the buckle makes them easy to take on and off. I HIGHLY recommend these sandals. I would give them twenty stars if I could.

I am very pleased with this jacket. It is well designed and does everything they say it does. I highly recommend it.

I have had these awhile and I love them. They seem
to be very durable and are extremely comfortable.
I use the zip off legs all the time when I get hot on hikes. They are very light and pack well. they dry incredibly fast also. I highly recommend these pants.
