I once read that every pound per boot is like adding six pounds in your pack, cut the weight and buy these boots. These are extremely lightweight, but have all the bells and whistles of a more rugged boot. You get the beauty and the brawn with its Gore-Tex lining and bombproof Vibram outsole. They could also mask as a beefed up trail runner. I would highly recommend. Hot Dog!

For those that don't plan to use The North Face Winter Gaiter GTX for trail running, you are missing out. The lab rats at TNF got it right with this shoe system. The gaiter attachments are to die for. Don't let the other reviews scare you off, they are easier to put on than most reviews suggest. Add gaiters, lace up, hit the trail, and never have to remove a rock from your shoe again. They are true to size, use the recommended guidance for fitting. Hot Dog!

These bad-boys do it all. Whether you are into backpacking, trail running, or just looking for some slick underwear to show-off to your new lady friend, these boxer briefs are for you. They are very quick drying, which make them perfect for backcountry laundry service. River wash, line dry, and hit the trail fresh and new in the morning. Recommend a set of two, well worth the investment. Hot Dog!

For those that don't plan to use The North Face Scree Gaiter II for trail running, you are missing out. The lab rats at TNF got it right with this shoe system. The gaiter attachments are to die for. Don't let the other reviews scare you off, they are easier to put on than most reviews suggest. Add gaiters, lace up, hit the trail, and never have to remove a rock from your shoe again.

Tougher than a son-of-a-buck. For those that don't plan to use them for trail running, you are missing out. The North Face Ultra 103 XCR is to trail running what the Nike Tailwind is to road running. The lab rats at TNF got it right with this shoe system. The optional gaiter attachment is to die for. Add gaiters, lace up, hit the trail, and never have to remove a rock from your shoes again. I would highly recommend. Best trail runner on the market. Hot Dog!

Excellent size pack for an all-day hike or a lightweight overnight adventure. Because the pack only comes in one size, the straps are adjustable for different torso lengths and I like to adjust the weight on the fly anyway. Two external water bottle holders and the internal hydration sleeve provide plenty of water for a long day. Highly recommend, another great product by The North Face.

Combine these pants with TNF Venture jacket and you have the perfect waterproof set for hitting the backcountry. The pants (and jacket) are super lightweight and pack into the left pocket, which makes them perfect for stuffing into your overcrowded pack. Highly recommend, great product.
