Marmot Essence Jacket - Men's

Marmot Essence Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 May 26, 2005

Just when i thought it wasn't possible to improve on the precip jacket, Marmot kills it with the essence. The essence takes ultralight gear to the next level. This jacket is great for everything outdoors, from spring skiing, to peak bagging, to walking the dog in style. It is definately the most packable, durable, and lightest waterproof breathable jacket I have used.

Comfy summer nights

Western Mountaineering MityLite Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Down

Western Mountaineering MityLite Sleeping Bag: 40 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 4 May 26, 2005

This bag, like all Western mountaineering products, is the crème de la crème. Super-comfy down, and the ability to compress to the size of a softball, make this bag my first choice on all my warm weather excursions. I have put this bag through the ringer for the past two years, and it still lofts like the day I got it. It is also compatible with a coupler kit (sold separately), which turns it into a two person “love sack.”

Marmot Hypno Tent 2 - Person 3 - Season

Marmot Hypno Tent 2 - Person 3 - Season

Rating for this product: 4 May 26, 2005

Of all the two person tents I have owned over the years, this tent offers the most space with the least amount of weight. The knee-shaped poles create vertical walls in the tent, giving a spacious feel, and keeping the tent material away from your face when you sleep. The windows in the fly help are great for stargazing and checking the weather. The matching pole sizes make setting up the hypno a no-brainer in the dark, while tired, or completely sauced. While listed as a two-person, it can fit me, my girlfriend and my dog.

Great Pack

Gregory Reality Backpack - 4350cu in

Gregory Reality Backpack - 4350cu in

Rating for this product: 5 May 26, 2005

I used this pack on a climb of Mt. Rainier, when my climbing partners were carrying packs twice its size. I easily fit everything I needed, and was happy and comfortable while they buckled under their immense loads. The large zipper on the top of the lid make grabbing snacks a snap, while the see-through panel on the bottom of the lid allows you to pick out your headlamp among the rats-nest of other gear. The molded foam hip-belt is the most comfortable and supportive I have ever used, and the durable nylon bottom allows you to set the pack down in the snow without the gear on the bottom getting wet.

Finally, a purifier bottle that you don’t have to squeeze like the Hulk to use. So simple to use you have no excuse to not stay hydrated. You can also change the order of the filter element so the charcoal is after the iodine section, eliminating that wonderful iodine flavor.

The best of both worlds

Perception Eclipse 17.0 Airalite Kayak w/ Rudder

Perception Eclipse 17.0 Airalite Kayak w/ Rudder

Rating for this product: 5 May 26, 2005

The invention of the Airalite hull material was truly revolutionary. Rather than having to choose between the light and stiff yet incredibly pricy and fragile fiberglass, or the incredibly durable but heavier than my mom rotomolded plastic, Airalite is lightweight, yet durable and scratch resistant. This boat is the ultimate touring rig for those who don’t have three grand to spend on a kayak. It tracks incredibly well, and yet is still highly maneuverable.

Rating for this product: 5 May 26, 2005

Nicknamed the “flying asspad” by a friend, this is more than just a Frisbee. It is a great addition to any trip, as it serves as a plate, pillow, and seat on cold ground or snow. It also floats, and is surprisingly highly resistant to salt water and sun damage.

Even though i own a sleddog whose paws are made for winter, I still use these to prevent dry, cracked pads. They would be good also for long treks across sharp rocks. It does take a short while for the dog to get used to them.

Rating for this product: 4 May 26, 2005

These liners allow you to greatly extend the life of your boots. I never baked mine, just skied a bunch and they fit perfectly. After 150 days they pack out minimally. Don’t let another punk ski shop employee talk you into a new pair of boots, when these liners will easily do the trick.
