MSR WindPro Stove
October 12, 2009
I am thinking about buying the WindPro for all around camping use but MAINLY using it during the winter season in the very cold mountains. It seems great because you do not have to prime therefore being easier to use and you are able to control the flame more. Comparing the WindPro to the Simmerlite and the Wisperlite, I've hear that liquid fuel stoves are usually more economical than canisters. If this is going to be a stove that I will have for years, I am wondering how much money will I save if I purchase a liquid fuel stove than a canister stove. Has anyone done any research on this or figured out some sweet math problem that calculates savings? haha Thanks!!

Mountain Hardwear WindStopper Tech Jacket - Men's
October 30, 2008
the nf denali is warm but very very bulky, which makes it terrible for layering. and with the denali, you need to layer and have an outer shell because it does not have a windstopper fabric to it such as gore windstopper or polartec wind pro. the mh windstopper tech is a better bet bc it has windstopper pro and is not too bulky. if you are able to spend 30 more dollars than the tech jacet look at the patagonia r4. it is warm and windproof like the mh tech jacket. those two are great. north face also has a winstopper jacket but i havnt tried it yet. just stay away from the denali. if wind can get through, you WILL GET COLD..
