Awesome Light Jacket

Mountain Hardwear Typhoon Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Typhoon Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 24, 2009

This Jacket is awesome. First off, it keeps you dry. If you get hot (I live in the Tropics) there is plenty of ventilation provided by the mesh lined front pockets (nice and long) and the very long double pit zips. Its work great with a pack even in hot weather. When things get cool, close all zippers and everything is sealed. When I first got the jacket I was a tad skeptical. It is quite light and somewhat thin and the interior kinda looks like a plastic bag sort of (in most forums people complain about this) and feels a tad clammy on bare skin but it isnt bad. But man, it works well. Once you use it you just know it breathes and lets water vapor out. The jacket also is not that quiet when you walk with it but again it isnt bad at all. It actually feels good on you. Besides the zippers the typhoon has a very nice hood. I tested with my C.A.M.P. helmet and works perfectly. Regarding fit, I got a Large (im 6-2, 190) and fit is a bit loose (good for layering) and long enough to be quite nice with a pack on. Overall a really nice shell that is light and packs small but still has great features. Just what I wanted.

I have yet to know if there are durability issues but it doesnt look/feel too flimsy on the outside.

Awesome

Marmot Power Stretch Full-Zip Fleece Jacket - Men's

Marmot Power Stretch Full-Zip Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 21, 2009

This jacket is a MUST have for cool to cold weather hiking/climbing, skiing or even for casual wear. Its surprisingly warm without being bulky. Its also quite comfortable with a nice smooth finish on the outside and its stretchy. I got a large an I am 6-2 190 and fit perfectly, loose enough as not to look light tight fitting active wear but still feels close to the body. Could be cheaper but its worth it. Really a must have as base/mid layer or even as an outer layer on not so cold days.

Vasque Zephyr II Hiking Boot - Men's

October 13, 2009

I have a pair of these boots and so far they have been completely waterproof. I have crossed several streams and even used them during very heavy rain for a few hours on a trail with water running down it and zero leaks.

Vasque Zephyr II Hiking Boot - Men's

October 1, 2009

Does this boot work well with strap-on crampons? I am going to Mexico to hike/climb up the Izta and Orizaba Volcanoes and will need cramp-ons on the last part of the routes on summit day. (only on Orizaba is there any long stretch of steep ice/snow with extensive runout) I want to carry only one pair of boots for everything. (including shorter acclimation hikes at lower elevations without any snow or ice). I already have the boots and they have proven to be completely waterproof even when submerged a few inches. I want to be sure crampons are ok with this boot, I have zero experience with crampons.

thx
