MSR Denali III Trekking Pole - 1 Pair

MSR Denali III Trekking Pole - 1 Pair

Rating for this product: 2 August 20, 2009

I got these poles last year for Telemark skiing. On the way down on my first trip the locking mechanism jammed and the mechanism detached from the pole when trying to fix it. So one of the poles is now stuck on 100 cm... In addition to this, I lost one basket - the locking device for baskets is not very good either. Luckliy my local sport shop had one extra basket, as you can't buy extra baskets from MSR.

So I got Black Diamond poles with flicklock - and they are way better! The denali III was a waste of money for me. If you plan to get them I would strongly recommend to be careful with the locking mechanism, and perhaps not to use them for high energy activities like Telemark/AT skiing.

Not windproof

Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hooded Jacket - Men's

Arc'teryx Gamma MX Hooded Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 September 30, 2008

I recently bought the gamma mx hoody to replace my Lowe Alpine softshell. But although the jacket is great in many ways it is not actually very warm, nor is it windproof. It is not a shell jacket, it can't even keep the wind out when I bike to work in a cold september morning (around zero degrees celcius here in Norway). It is pretty cool, and the hood is great but I think there are several better softshells than the gamma mx around. I have a "new" Chinese jacket - perhaps the older ones were better.
