Very bright! The headlamp does come with batteries and it does have a tiltable housing. The tech specs must be from an older version. The hyperbright and superbright leds both have 3 brightness settings plus a strobe. Overall great headlamp. Only con is it does not come with a carrying case.

The headlamp does have a tiltable housing and comes with batteries. The tech specs must be from a much older version. Headlamp is super bright! The hyperbright bulb and superbright leds both have 3 brightness settings and a strobe. So far the headlamp is the best buy. Only con is it does not come with a carrying case.

My friend uses the Ridgerest size small to pack light and reduce weight. But too bad your calves down have no padding. So I got the Z-lite size regular which weighs a few ounces more but alteast its long enough to cover my entire body. It's also very simlar is size folded up compared to the Ridgerest size small. Z-Lite costs more but the full body coverage and similar folded up size is worth it.

These pants look great but they're a little too tight for me. I have not used them and instead went with my TNF paramount converts. I like my pants a little loose when hiking.

These look awesome. Got many compliments but wearing this alone with a t-shirt underneath won't keep you warm during the cold mornings of Yosemite. These do have drawstrings and tightening them will keep the wind out but might need a long sleeve, fleece, OR a hardshell to be nice a toasty. Wish they had pitzips to dump additional heat when hiking or climbing.

True fit, feels comfortable, and lightweight. Everyone was surprised that The North Face made shoes. The ventilation kept my sweaty feet surprisingly dry. Although the dirt will leak through the mesh after hiking for a few hours in loose dirt/sand. But I'm sure this goes for all shoes with mesh. Seems a little looser on the toe end. This caused some blistering or maybe my feet are just prone to blisters regardless of shoes.
