How does this compare for water-resistance and wind-resistance to the Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hoody? Which is the most breathable?

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's
November 4, 2009
I've narrowed it down to the Mont-Bell Thermawrap Jacket and Patagonia Nano Puff. Weight is essentially the same...what about packability? Which would be best for summer backpacking in the Cascades? I would be using it for chilly stops, hanging out around camp in the evenings and layering under a hard shell for nasty conditions.

Marmot Ama Dablam Down Jacket - Men's
November 1, 2009
Tim - Thanks for the response. However, I'm not sure why you'd think a fairer comparison exists between the Marmot Greenland Baffled Jacket and its 300 grams of 800 fill down and the Fitz Roy's 181 grams of 800 fill down. If the Ama has 125 grams, as you suggest, it is much closer in fill weight (albeit sewn-through construction) to the Fitz Roy than the Greenland. I'd say the Greenland is more apples to oranges.....

The North Face Him 35 Tent 3-Person 4-Season
October 28, 2009
Him 35 or VE 25?
My winter bag is a 6'6" Western Mountaineering Kodiak. I also sleep on a 25" pad. Would the Him 35 be big enough for two guys over 6' tall (long sleeping bags) and a couple of dogs, or would the VE-25 be a better solution?

Osprey Packs Argon 85 Backpack - 5100-5500cu in
August 24, 2009
I'm a touch over 6' tall and weigh 220 lbs. The medium bag fits me perfectly when the adjustment is extended nearly all the way out, and the large fits well when the adjustment is extended nearly all the way in. I prefer the large shoulder harness and hip belt no matter which bag size I have. Ideally, I'm a medium bag with large hipbelt/harness.
