Tight and Warm...hate the zipper

CW-X Insulator Zip T-Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

CW-X Insulator Zip T-Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 August 31, 2009

I may be biased because I hate anything that touches my neck, but the 1/4 zip zipper is almost worse than the benefit you get out of wearing this shirt. As a base-layer it does a great job of both keeping you cool (trhough being dry) and warm. The inner fleecing is soft and the outer covering is smooth enough to let it slide under other garments.

Te thumb loops are great for keeping the snow and cold out. With my long arms, they also kept the sleeves where they should be rather than up by my elbows.

It's hard to say how much energy and fatigue it saves, but I can say that it helps. I almost always have more energy at the end of a day when wearing it than when I wear something else.

Going Lite is Good

GoLite Quest Pack - 4400cu in

GoLite Quest Pack - 4400cu in

Rating for this product: 5 August 31, 2009

At significantly less than 4#, and over 4000ci, this pack is for those who leave the kitchen sink at home. I carried mine around the tetons for 3 days. I got used to the top-loader after switching from a top and panel loading e-frame. My only complaint was the hip pads: they don't come very far forward, so my 35" waist had a few bruises. My solution next time will be to use the cut-off sleeves from a fleece jacket to slide over the straps.
