I've used the UL thermawrap Pants on two backpack trips and can tell you I've never been so comfortable and warm in my 35 years of packing. They weigh nothing and stuff down really small. both trips were in the Sierra's in the fall and winter. Warm, light, and minimum space required...what's not to like. I highly recomend these and the Thermawrap jacket.

I got the Pocketrocket w/Titan Kettle to save .5 lbs over jet boil. In real life the PR is not as efficient and was a hassle to protect from the wind. A canister of fuel last 5 days with PR and 7-8 days without a PR. The stove with case would not fit in kettle.

The Patagonia Capilene Zip Long-Sleeve has a great weight to warmth performance. It makes a great first layer for high country backpacking or cold weather activity. My only concern at this point (used for one 8 day trip) goes to durability. My impression is that this fabric requires care to avoid snags as it seems rather easily damaged.
