Very accurate!

Polar RS200sd Heart Rate Monitor

Rating for this product: 4 May 29, 2007

I've had this for almost a month now. The first one I got had a defective food pod. One quick phone call to backcountry and an exchange was set up. They even paid for the return shipping. Great customer service. Anyway, I was skeptical at first that it would actually be able to measure an accurate distance. After a few runs with it to figure out how to use it and what settings I wanted, I did two foot pod calibration runs. After calibration it was accurate to about a 100th of a mile. Heart rate sensor adapts closely to the chest, unlike the older plastic strapped ones. Great for skinnier people like me. My only real complaint about it is that the buttons can be a bit annoying to press. you have to push them down too far for my liking and there is no definite click to let you know it's down enough. Not a big deal just an annoyance.

I would have given them 5 stars but for underwear, they are way too expensive.

Pearl Izumi Infinity Long Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 29, 2007

Thanks to the person that said they run a bit small! I'm usually between small and medium so I went with the medium. Fit is great, very light, easy to move in. Liner is comfy and supportive.

More comfy than I expected

Therm-a-Rest Z-Lite Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 September 5, 2006

Recently took this backpacking. It was much more comfortable than I was expecting it to be. Can't beat the weight and easy storage either. The regular is plenty long, and you could probably cut off a length if you were concerned, although I'm only about 5'9". Glad I bought it!

lightweight and sturdy

GSI Outdoor Telescoping Spatula

Rating for this product: 5 September 5, 2006

Pretty easy to use, sturdy and doesn't weigh too much. Not a necessity but great for nonstick cookware.

GSI Outdoor Telescoping Spoon

Rating for this product: 5 September 5, 2006

Pretty easy to use, sturdy and doesn't weigh too much. Not a necessity but great for nonstick cookware. It is a very deep spoon, probably will hold about 2+ ounces of liquid.

Worked great, no scrubbing!

MSR BlackLite Classic Cookset

Rating for this product: 5 September 5, 2006

Just got these, they are very light for the price. Comes with mini pack towel for cleaning (you don't need a scrub brush on this non stick coating) and also a little pack towel material holder for the handle - a great grip and very light. All hits in a mesh stuff sack that is very convenient. Some here have complained that they scratch easy. I did not find this. I did use plastic utensils like it is suggested by MSR and had no problems. I don't know why you would use anything else, even at home I use plastic stuff on Teflon. I store my 1 cup plastic measuring cup and my pocket rocket stove in there as well. Great buy; don't think the frying pan is necessary.
