Great Alaska summer sleeping bag

The North Face Tigger Sleeping Bag: 20 Degree Climashield HL

Rating for this product: 5 October 14, 2007

My son is finally at an age where he can actively participate in our family outings. This sleeping bag is just what we needed for him to enjoy camping with his two-year old level of independence. He seems to enjoy the bag and we are happy with the quality of materials and level of comfort it provides. It packs light and you definitely cannot beat the warranty.

Perfect 3 season bag

The North Face Snowshoe Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Climashield Prism - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 14, 2007

My wife really enjoyed camping with this sleeping bag. We held off on writing this review until 'her' camping season was over. It is very well engineered and had just the right fit for her. We bought this one based on my very good experience with my NorthFace Goliath 3D bag and we definitely are pleased with this one. A good night's rest with plenty of warmth and remaining dry is exactly what this bag provides.

High performance for low cost

Harmony Typhoon Dry Bag

Rating for this product: 5 October 14, 2007

We have used this bag numerous times on our outdoor adventures and just love it. Although it appears a tad on the flimsy side, it has stood the test of a full Alaskan summer of adventures and is still performing just like new. The see-through feature is one of the most innovative yet simple applied to adventure gear. We only take Typhoon bags now with us on water-related activities and camping.

Our family is extremely active with outdoor activities, no matter what the season. My toddler loves the snow and it's vital to us he have the right gear for the conditions. Columbia's Carabineer Gap Bip is a perfect fit for him. It has the high quality one expects from Columbia and it has been durable so far.

Suunto - a very good watch

Suunto Vector Altimeter Watch

Rating for this product: 4 October 6, 2007

I've used my Suunto Vector Alt during all of my deployments to Southwest Asia and it has performed near perfection. The altimeter and compass are essential as well as the rugged durability. The only reason I do not give it a five rating is due to it's single time zone. It would be nice to have zulu time as well as local available.
