sweet pants wouldnt recommend them for climbing though, to restrictive. they dont stretch but as approach pants i gues, but i dont like appraoch pants because i just wear my climbing pants i dont get it. try the prana zion

great socks, uber nice, uber comfy, they dry like nothing else i have ever used before, expensive except son vale la pena. and they have kuhl mountains on them!

when you tighten the draw string around (its at the base of the zipper one for each side) it goes up through into the pockets and every time you try and zipper it, there dangling in the way and its annoying but i tied a knot in the zipper to prevent that but still

i used this jacket in jackson, wyoming for over a week through bowls and woods and pretty much everything at temperatures ranging from -5 to 20 (with out counting the wind). and its phenomenal. in response to the wind, ( at the top i took gusts up to 60 mph) and the montbell peak stopped all of it. this jacket is great. the one gripe i have if montbell wants me to buy this jacket for the rest of my life, also it says its use is back country skiing, would be for montbell to make their cuffs a little larger so they could fit over gloves. the hood is like no other i have ever used. i used it over my helmet everyday and cinched it down for a snug fit and was neverrrrr looking into the side of the hood. this jacket is incredible (the weight 11 oz, the breathability, the hood, the cuffs and not that horrible a price.) i would highly recommend this jacket.

i used this bag in alaska for three weeks outside... glorious bag... the temperature probalbly dipped around 30 perhaps a little colder but i was warm inside my tent and bag. i slept in an uber light pair of pants and a long sleeve shirt (because i thought it was more comfotable than shorts and short sleeve on the nylon) amazing bag defeintly could be taken colder than 20 if you layer properly (and if your in a tandem tent (because of the body heat given off))

I used this jacket for three weeks in alaska this summer. it was absolutely FANTASTIC. water never seeped through once. not even in torrential rain. one day we hiked 15 miles in rain with fog so thick you couldnt see 10 feet in front of you and i was dry. however the reason it did not get a 5 was because just recently the stitching ripped on the left pit zip as i was trying to open it. however, again, the gearhead is set me up with a return and a full refund so all is well.
