I purchased the speed/cadence sensor as well as the heart rate monitor for this unit. When you upload ride data to Garmin Connect, you not only get charts and graphs representing your ride, you also get a map with your ride highlighted. Very cool! Unit has proven to be waterproof on several rides in the rain. Battery life is awesome. Battery is not user serviceable, but according to Garmin, will last several years. Acquires satelites within seconds from powering up. I am very pleased with this purchase.

Well she did it! Big Agnes decided I didn't need to sleep in a bivy anymore when I go out bikepacking. My trail weight is a bit more than 3lb 2 oz, but what a castle for one. Even with two people there is enough room for all your gear in the vestibules. I am 6'3" and I can fully stretch out on my long NeoAir pad. I added the wall gear loft and the footprint and it will still pack down to 6 X 18 in. Very cool! I love this tent a lot more than Lexi does!

Excellent craftsmanship, high quality materials, and, they make you look cool when you wear them! These boots have been totally waterproof for me. The velcro strap really keeps them on your feet when you need them. I wear them with wool hiking socks and they really keep my feet warm and dry. Score!

I am really enjoying these boots. Completely waterproof, very lightweight, but still stiff enough to provide support for backpacking. Very comfortable and I didn't even really need a break-in period.

I really appreciate the options that come with this cookware. The solo kit will fit in the Ti 900, the Ti 900 will fit in the Ti 1400. The Snow Peak titanium Bowls will fit in the TI 1400. Coolness!

USE ONLY COURSE GROUND COFFEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! in a french press people. I never have grounds in my coffee using this french press! GSI makes a cool little coffee grinder that has an adjustable grinder for fine to course grounds. I am sure there are others, but I use the GSI model. I wouldn't trade for mine (press) and it produces such a fine cup of joe that I've been known to use it at home on occasion. Get ya some.

I really like this pan. It is a little heavy and I generally only use it when canoe tripping, although, when bikepacking, with a friend, you can share the load! The heat transfer is almost immediate, so be ready to cook when you light your JetBoil. There is a cover over the Fluxring bottom that can be used for a plate/serving dish/prep dish. It will also store a JetBoil spatula.

I love these things! Very lightweight, very easy to clean, eat out of it, cook in it, nests in the Ti 1400 cook pot by Snow Peak. Awesome gear. Titanium.

All the Snow Peak gear is fantastic, and this plate is no exception...Eat off of it, cook on it, stable platform for stoves or lanterns, very versatile piece of gear. Cleans easily, won't rust, very lightweight. Titanium.

Snow Peak sells lids for these cups on their web site. Makes it perfect, I think. These mugs will fit perfectly inside my Snow Peak Ti Solo Kit.

These sacks are totally waterproof...The large/XL sizes have compression straps. The large is great for my down comforters, the small size works for my compressable pillows. They all have handy D-Rings for tie down points. They are very durable and have held up well.

Part of my sleep system...Using the sheet with my NeoAir, down comforter, and compressible pillow has really made a big difference in the quality of comfort and sleep on my backcountry adventures. Outstanding, lightweight, and quality materials. Very pleased with this system.

I got two of these, small for bikepacking trips, and large for my canoeing trips. Don't leave home without 'em...When you make camp, fluff 'em up, wait about 10 or 15 minutes, sleep time!

I've used this with my NeoAir down to 35 degrees in my tent and stayed warm all night. I like it because it lets me stretch out. I put two NeoAirs together with fitted sheets and snap on the comforter over both for home away from home comfort. Packs down very small. It comes with a really nice storage bag and a stuff sack. Sweet. I mostly use a Therm-a-Rest simply dry sack for transport in the backcountry just in case.

Very easy set-up, perfect venting options. Mine weighs in at 7.7lbs, that's without footprint or extra stakes...I realize its a little heavier than some, but this thing is awesome in a storm when it really counts.

Weight issues brought me to it. I use this with my sleeping bag during Winter...Bag does not slide off during the night. The rest of the year I use the down comforter and fitted sheet. Totally cool, er, warm. Thermarest comforter is rated to 40 degrees...using the NeoAir, I have slept in 35 degree temps (in my tent), stayed warm all night. I love it. No issues with durability in two seasons of use (sixteen trips). I set this up when making camp, then 'top it off' with a few more breaths of air before sleep. Stays comfy all night.

This thing is great...be careful with it. Wood saw is like cutting thru butter with a hot knife. Haven't used the fine blade. Very lightweight. Its not an axe! Go slow with it and you will have your firewood, with very little impact on total gear weight.

I love this thing...I take it with me on MTB BikePacking trips. Perfect for helping filter water, cleaning up dishes/pots and yourself!

There are so many lens choices with the Half Jackets. They have a case available that will hold your glasses and two (2) extra lens sets. Comes with a cool Storage/Cleaning Bag. If you like the style, you will be more than pleased with the quality of these glasses. They also have a polarized model for a few more bucks.

I use this in conjunction with a Brunton Sustain. I usually charge the Sustain with the Solaris 12 during the day....charge my gear from the Sustain at night. Works perfectly, everytime. Smart phone, Garmin GPS, Camera, anything I need to charge. It will charge my Dell Inspiron Laptop, but I never take it to the backcountry.

I use this in conjunction with a Brunton Solaris 12 Solar Panel. I usually charge the Sustain with the solar panels during the day....charge my gear from the Sustain at night. Works perfectly, everytime. Smart phone, Garmin GPS, Camera, anything I need to charge. It will charge my Dell Inspiron Laptop, but I never take it to the backcountry.

This is an amazing headlamp, battery life is awesome. I found a hard case to store it in from Princeton Tec. The case has a pouch to store three additional AAA bateries. This is definetly a 70 Lumen light.

20oz...This is the best handheld filter out there...I like the adapters for my Camelbak Hydration Pack. Rubberband a coffee filter around the floating pre-filter and you'll almost never have to clean the filter other than rinsing it out. Katadyn makes an in-line charcoal filter that is quite excellent at removing unwanted tastes from your cool, clean water. I highly recommend this additional expenditure. It happens to fit in the carrying case like it was made for it or something!

I am really enjoying this piece of gear. The venting options are perfect. Opening up the roof panels on a clear night(not using the fly) lets all the stars in...The organizer walls , along with the optional gear loft, will give you all the room you need for your stuff.

I wear a 10 1/2, I ordered a 10 1/2, very pleased with this sandal. They dry very quickly. I am on my second season with them and they are holding up quite well. No issues whatsoever.

This piece of gear is really effective for protection when you are forced to cook where you shouldn't...just be sure and vent properly.

Nice to have on board...helps keep the boat clean and dry...

Pockets for everything, fishing gear, safety/survival gear, lash points or fly patch option. The flotation in the back being up so high really accomodates a backrest in a canoe or kayak. Very important...Really nice piece of gear. I weigh 220lbs and it keeps me afloat and head above water...Sweet!

This is really a solid product. I use the gunwale brackets with my Yakima Dry Dock and bow /stern tie downs. Highway speeds, bumpy roads have never been a problem. Very secure transport for my boat. High quality materials are holding up very well. I would def recommend.

Admittedly, I own almost all of the Snow Peak Titanium cookware, but after alot of research and studying everyones' reviews, I felt it was the way to go. My decision hasn't let me down yet. The utensil set is completely awesome. Not alot to add above the other reviews other than the set is virtually rustproof and I think maybe it adds a little class to your wilderness adventures.

Great stove/lantern base, good for chopping veggies, fanning your fire...reasonable size and weight.

The compressed size, weight, warmth, and water resistance of this bag have made it ideal for me. I'm 6'3", 220lbs and the long version of this bag fits me perfectly. Dual zippers are really awesome in the morning when you can't seem to roll out of your bag...unzip, stick your arms out, get some coffee going, life is good!

This jacket is excellent, totally waterproof and extremely lightweight...using it for mountainbiking/camping and wilderness canoeing/camping. Has three point attachment system for layering fleece jacket...keeps the wind out and is quite warm when layering but breathes really well. Score!
