Underrated tent
Eureka K-2 XT Tent 3-Person 4-Season
June 7, 2008
I had a north face talus which I thought was a pretty decent tent until I got this one. Wow do I love this tent. The set up is pretty quick especially if you don't use the fly...which you can easily do in this tent. The fly secures in so many places you don't get so much as a ripple in high winds. There are lots of mesh openings you can access but should nasty weather come in you can zip them up if you are not using the fly and be completely safe from the elements. About the only gripe with this tent is that it is not super light at all...but the design is so good and the construction excellent, you can leave the fly at home and lighten you load by the weight of that plus one of the poles that gives the fly its shape and a few stakes. Now you are not in ultra light territory but maybe 6-6 1/2 lbs which is workable for a tent this strong. Only tent you will ever need!

Answer to: "The description says that the Tradewind 15 has 800 fill - but..."
Sierra Designs Trade Wind Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down
March 7, 2008
that confused me too. They actually make both. The 800 fill being a bit more expensive naturally. If you look in the backpacker gear issue..the one they rated so high is the 800 fill version. Retail for the 800 version is $329 and the 600 version is $239 both in regular sizes.

Exped Downmat Sleeping Pad
February 19, 2007
The exped down mat is excellent and I have no reservations other than its dimensions. A tremendous amount of body heat is lost through the ground but this air mattress is down filled to prevent that. It is very durable and engineered very well but I wish it was wider. It does pack quite small and that is a real plus. It also goes back into its stuff sack very easy which is unusual for most outdoor products.
