This vs the Comp
Are they the same except for the colors and number of panels? Or is there a more significant difference?

Great soft shell

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's

The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 30, 2009

This is a great jacket, it does well in rain (not heavy mind you, it is a soft shell) and cuts wind. I use this for style and looks for casual wear or the occasional day hike. I prefer my old school (15 years old and as good as new, just broken in) TNF Steep TECH for colder and wetter ventures.

I have a medium and it fits well. 5' 11" 205. But this is a high for me I'm usually around 190 and like my stuff to 'fit'

My favorite T-Shirt

Arc'teryx Big Word T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 30, 2009

Man is thing soft, comfortable, and stylin'. Seriously, this is my favorite T-shirt. obviously it isn't for active pursuits, but for any other occasion it is as good as it gets. It fits true to size, I have a large 5'11" 205, and the cut is very flattering.

Rating for this product: 4 June 30, 2009

I really like this shirt. It fits true to size for me (5' 11" 205, I have a large). It is a casual shirt, I wouldn't use this for anything more active than a day hike--the fabric does dry quickly and is really soft and comfortable.

Osprey never lets down

Osprey Packs Talon 22 Backpack - 1200-1300cu in

Osprey Packs Talon 22 Backpack - 1200-1300cu in

Rating for this product: 5 June 30, 2009

This is the ultimate in day packs, that I've tried at least. It holds all you need for a day out or even a UL overnighter. I use this for hikes, school, camera bag (I prefer to carry lenses, etc. in their own protective case in this comfy bag vs. an uncomfy heavy camera bag), and hopefully adventure races soon.
Osprey knows what they are doing when it comes to comfort, toughness, usability, weight, etc. without anything useless.

Osprey Packs Talon 22 Backpack - 1200-1300cu in

June 30, 2009

Yes, they are rather large and good for almost any size bottle. There is no specific strap for holding a bottle, but the side compression straps do go over the pockets so you could use them to secure it. I have used a 22 oz bottle and the stretch pocket holds it nice and snug without worry.

Osprey Packs Talon 22 Backpack - 1200-1300cu in

June 30, 2009

I don't have the 11, but if you are talking about an SLR and plan to take a lens or two a long in their own padded cases, then the 22 is the better choice, in case it rains you can stick the body in there too. Hope that helps.

It doesn't. I guess you could put it in the hydration pocket (between the suspension and pack body). Either way, there is plenty of room for a laptop, you'll just need to have it in it's own padded sleeve.
Personally I use this bag for school and I do carry a laptop in a padded sleeve in the main pocket. So, get it and you won't regret it.

La Sportiva Fireblade Trail Running Shoe - Men's

June 26, 2009

Some reviewers have mentioned that the sole is stiff. I am very interested in these and would like to know if anyone has anything else to say about how stiff they are. I primarily run barefoot or in sandals, so I'm a mid to fore foot striker, heel striking kills my knees and hips. Are these flexible enough for such a stride?
Thanks!

Big Agnes Mystic SL Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

January 10, 2009

Other than the 5 oz, is this bag worth the price over the Lost Ranger, does it compress considerably more--important for me because I pack a lot of my kids stuff too.
