Sierra Designs Verde 20 Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree

December 5, 2009

I can't find any info on the shell material. "Ecosensor"? Is that a microfiber or a nylon or ...? Is it water resistant at all?

Excellent for warm weather

ExOfficio Give-N-Go Brief - Men's

ExOfficio Give-N-Go Brief - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 9, 2009

These are great when it's hot out. I don't think their marketing should be so limited to "travel" underwear. I wear these all the time. There the best I've found for hot, humid weather.

I recommend the Large

Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow

Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow

Rating for this product: 4 February 27, 2009

At first, I was thinking, eh, this isn't the best, it's lumpy and uncomfortable, and it makes weird rustling sounds in my ears from the form compressing/decompressing--then I used it a couple more times. Now, I'm really into it. Seriously, I have no problem trading out my bed pillow for this pillow. I think the first night I was just thinking too much about the pillow--it was a "princess and the pea" situation.

I recommend the large. The pillows really don't take up all that much room regardless of size--I squish mine down smaller in a compression sack. The foam really compresses very well. I own the medium and the large and I like the large better (I'm a side/stomach sleeper). The large has more foam and provides better support. I don't think the medium compresses all that much smaller and comfort benefit of the large is very worth it. Note: if you're using it INSIDE the hood of a mummy bag you may have different preferences--I camp in pretty warm climates...

Revision of my Oct. 1 2008 Review

Cocoon Sleeping Pad Covers

Cocoon Sleeping Pad Covers

Rating for this product: 2 November 21, 2008

I've been using this cover for a couple of months now, and I'm disappointed. The 100% cotton cover pills up badly. Sure, I use it quite a bit, but I haven't owned it for that long. I machine wash and dry, but I mean, really, you should be able to machine wash and dry a pad cover. Maybe the polyester one is better.

Nalgene SS BPA-Free Bottle - 38oz

October 26, 2008

Is the no-dent claim for real? Will this, unlike other stainless bottles, not dent if you drop it on rocks? Is it thicker than other bottles? I like the classic shape.

Most comfortable Therm-a-rest out there

Therm-a-Rest Therm-a-Rest ToughSkin Sleeping Pad

Therm-a-Rest Therm-a-Rest ToughSkin Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2008

For my money the ToughSkin is the most comfortable pad available. I like my pad to have lots of "give." I.e., I like a pad that isn't inflated very much. With the ToughSkin, you can let a lot of air out and get a nice cushy pad. But, the ToughSkin is special because it has a layer of harder foam inside. This extra layer makes it so you really don't feel the ground no matter how little air you put in the Therm-a-rest, allowing you to dial in just the right amount of "give." I like this pad so much that many nights, I sleep on it on my wood floors with a sheet on top rather than on the bed. No kidding, its the most comfortable thing I've ever found to sleep on.

Works well

Cocoon Sleeping Pad Covers

Cocoon Sleeping Pad Covers

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2008

These work really well to keep your pad from sliding around. Also they keep you on the pad and don't feel gross if you sleep directly on top of the pad rather than in a sleeping bag. I live in Texas, so there are many, many camping outings on which sleeping bags are wholly useless. This pad cover provides a comfortable sleeping surface and has the added bonus of keeping the mat in place. Why doesn't Therm-a-rest make this rather than that "fitted sheet" thing? I like the 100% cotton model; it looks like it may be discontinued... sad.
