Brunton Flex Canister Stove

April 28, 2009

Optimus Crux -- http://www.backcountry.com/store/OPS0001/Optimus-Crux-Stove.html -- Same stove. Just a little bit lighter, owing to one fewer pot stands. IT is also about $30 cheaper!
There is also the Optimus Crux lite, which omits the folding option, making it even lighter (2.5 oz!! from Optimus' site)
http://www.backcountry.com/store/OPS0008/Optimus-Crux-Lite-Stove.html
Those are the two I wold recommend to you, based on what you are looking for.
I do however, also have the Primus EtaExpress stove -- http://www.backcountry.com/store/PMS0032/Primus-EtaExpress-Stove.html -- It outperforms my Optimus Crux at all levels. It has a wider support base (nearly 1cm per arm) and boils water noticeably faster. Primus has done load-bearing testing with them and the EtaExpress can support a much heavier load than a cannister stove would ever be called to support. I prefer my Primus for performance.

Are their loops for this? (It looks like it from the picture) What are the features other than the material? The specs do not indicate.

Light pants/good fit

Millet Gokyo Peak Pant - Men's

Millet Gokyo Peak Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 January 7, 2009

These pants are nice. They are made out of Schoellers 3XDRY Stretch material, which is extremely light. The only reason I did not give these pants a 5 was because of the zippers -- they do not zip unless you use 2 hands. The thing I liked best about these pants was that they were light.

Greatest soft-shell I've put on

Millet Super Touring Softshell Jacket - Men's

Millet Super Touring Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 December 30, 2008

I love this jacket! It's unbelievably light at only 15.7oz. and the Polartec is super-fleecy and comfortable on the inside. The fit is nearly tailored for my body-type (6'1"/slender). I forget that I'm wearing a jacket when I have it on. It feels like you have on a tailored dress shirt made of soft-shell fabric. It fits snuggly under the arms, so when you reach over your head, it doesn't ride up. It feels like you are wearing a nicely tailored shirt, rather than a jacket. The zippers are super easy to find and slide effortlessly, all but the main zipper, which is reversed (i.e. on the woman's side). I had trouble with that one until someone told me to put some chapstick on it. It glides better now. The hood is small, but I assume it fits under an ice-climbing helmet nicely. Call me nuts, but I am thinking about getting another one, in case they discontinue this model before mine wears out. This jacket is great.

Ever use eVent?

66 North Iceland Blafell Ski Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 15, 2007

eVent rocks! Breathable as Gore-Tex Paclike, yet as durable as Gore-Tex XCR. You get the best of both worlds! Keep your eyes out for it in more and more garments coming out these days!

Organic Cotton shrinks!

Backcountry.com Gear Slut T-Shirt Short-Sleeve - Men's

Backcountry.com Gear Slut T-Shirt Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 4, 2007

I love the "Gearslut" shirt! I'm a gearslut myself, so why not feature what you are. I was a little dismayed that the Medium turned out to be kinda baggy one me, but after washing & drying the first time, it shrunk up enough to my satisfaction. That's even after the tag states, "Pre-washed/pre-shrunk".
