Stomping Grounds:
My work keeps me in Houston, but someday... -
Bio:
I'm a flatlander trying to get to a point where I can say "I'm a climber" with a straight face. I also hike and camp, but usually just to facilitate the climbing :-).
The latest: It's October, and we may finally get temps below the 90's in Texas soon. Hopefully, we'll get in some day trips to Austin soon. And maybe El Potrero Chico before the holidays. Breaking into the low 10s... yea! Still not impressive, but better.

Icebreaker Nature Bikini Underwear - Women's
March 23, 2009
Has anyone who is sensitive to wool tried these? I've read all the reviews which say that they're not itchy, but some people just aren't bothered by wool to begin with. I would like to know if anyone who normally has a problem with wool has tried these, and what they think.

Patagonia Active Mesh Bra - Women's
March 9, 2009
I just wore mine under a 2000+/- cu. in. pack with about 20lbs in it on an approach hike (maybe 30 minutes?). I couldn't even tell I was wearing it. No strap issues at all. It was much more comfortable than any other bra I've ever worn under a pack. I can't speak to how it would feel with a 3500 cu. in. pack with 45 lbs in it on the AT or PCT for months, but I can tell you it was very comfortable as I wore it. Good luck and have fun!
