This is a Single, not a Double

Rating for this product: 2 July 10, 2012

Be aware, even though the title (as of 7/8/2012) and the description (as of 7/10/2012) says it's the DoubleNest, this item is actually the SingleNest. The SingleNest is 55 inches wide, the DoubleNest is 80 inches wide.

With that in mind you actually pay more for this package than buying the items separately. Item EGN0001 for $54.95 and item EGN0004 for $19.95 comes to $74.90. Buying the package you pay $79.95. I guess with the package you get a nylon stuff sack that holds both the hammock and the straps but that's hardly worth an extra $5.05 in my mind.

Great material

Backcountry.com Provo Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 3, 2012

The material of this shirt is great: lightweight, comfy, wicks sweat and doesn't stain if you're sweating into it all day.

The cut is a bit shorter and wider than other Backcountry branded items I've used, but not too bad.

It's like a backpacking boot without the boot

Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Men's

Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 3, 2012

It's like having vibram sole out of your backpacking boot without the rest of the boot. Tacky rubber, just enough feel and nothing chafing between your toes.

They do need to break in so wear them around before your first trip.

Cheap but effective

Coleman Camp Axe

Coleman Camp Axe

Rating for this product: 4 June 3, 2012

No, this isn't as good as an SOG or Gerber, but it's also 1/4 the price of even their cheapest options. You'll want to sharpen it with a file as it comes from the factory without much of an edge. It also doesn't come with a cover so prepare to make or buy one.

But for $12.95 it's great for basecamp and your wallet.

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

My skin is notoriously dry. I also hate the nasty goopy, oily feeling of a some sunscreens. This works great to keep me safe from the sun and my skin hydrated.

I got the spray on version for quick application. I'm not the greatest when it comes to putting on sunscreen so the convenience is well worth the extra price in my case.

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

This takes up basically zero space but is very useful. If you're backpacking and doing anything on your stove besides boiling water it's worth bringing along.

Stiff bristles and the scraper can get into just about any nook and cranny.

I got the same M size in Stoic/Backcountry gear that I usually get for my significant other and the fit was spot on. It's sized slim and long.

Classy logo and a comfortable cotton. This is her favorite shirt right now.

My significant other loved these so much she made me buy her both colors. Super comfy and great fit.

I would say 90% of the time she's at home she's wearing these yoga pants. I don't complain, they look great on her.

Lowepro Transporter Camera Strap

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

It was time for a new strap so I went with this Lowepro. The detachable memory card pocket is a great feature for easy access on extended shoots, and the strap is nice and comfy. I also really appreciate the quick release buckles for getting the shot at odd angles without strangling myself.

This strap is much bigger bang for the buck than I'm used to getting on camera gear!

Great if they fit

Stoic Merino Comp Trail No-Show Sock - 4-Pack

Stoic Merino Comp Trail No-Show Sock - 4-Pack

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2012

These are super comfy and have a medium/light padding on the bottom.

I ordered two colors, "Black/ Gray/ Azure" and "Gray/ Silver/ Burnt", both in M/L and I usually wear a size 11. The Black/ Gray/ Azure fit perfect and I love them. The Gray/ Silver/ Burnt I can hardly get on my feet. The package shows the correct size but I'm pretty sure they're mislabeled, as there is a huge fit difference between the two colors. Luckily Backcountry.com has a great return/exchange policy, so I'll give them another shot and hope the next pair is sized correctly.

Timbuk2 Snoop Camera Pack

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

There are lots of camera bags out there these days, but I'm glad I did the research and got the Snoop.

It's just so versatile. Comfy in backpack mode and still has the carry strap on the side for carrying it briefcase style. The side access is much quicker and easier than a normal backpack style zipper and the padding is quality.

Props to Timbuk2 for putting together a well designed and a well built pack.

Lezyne Metal Patch Kit

Lezyne Metal Patch Kit

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

If I was designing a patch kit this would be it. The container is quality, not flimsy soda can aluminum. You can drive a car over it. It keeps everything clean and organized. It has just enough extra room to fold up a $20 for emergencies.

I've used plenty of these patches thanks to some sub-par tires I was running. Not a single patch has failed. Easy to use and a quality patch.

These aren't the most whiz bang shorts out there as you should know from their $39.95 price tag, but they do work well. After 25 miles or so my sit bones are a bit sore and I need to start standing every once in a while to get the blood flowing, but they're great for shorter distances.

If you're on a budget and tend to do shorter rides these are great.

Gets the job done

Lezyne Micro Drive HP Pump

Lezyne Micro Drive HP Pump

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

The full aluminum body is impressive. It does have the odd side effect of getting warm when you're pumping, but not hot enough for that to be a negative thing.

160psi is amazing for a pump this size. Obviously it doesn't replace a floor pump for speed, but if you're in the middle of a century and don't have the option of limping home on an under-inflated tire this will get you up to your normal pressure.

I picked up one of these for the significant other's birthday. She's not a biker but I'm trying to get her into it so I took a chance. It was a home run! She loves it so much she named it Rebecca.

Comfy ride, smooth drive train and almost no maintenance. The classy lines don't hurt either.

Just as the name implies, these are the only bottle to get if you use anything but straight water. Hell, I even use water 99% of the time and I still love them.

No funky flavors and they're safe in the freezer, just make sure you leave enough room for the water to expand and leave the mouthpiece open.

Cutter U-lock

Cutter U-lock

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2012

I had the old version of this U-Lock with the circle style key lock and I have to admit I was always a bit uneasy leaving my bike. That circle style of lock is easy to pick to so I'm glad Cutter upgraded to these laser cut keys.

The locking mechanism isn't buttery smooth, I often and have give it a couple tries to turn it all the way. But that may just be because I'm not used to these style of keys and/or the mechanism will break in after a bit more use.

HuckNRoll Arcylon Reversible Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's

HuckNRoll Arcylon Reversible Jersey - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

The material is a polyester mesh, similar to what you would find on a basketball jersey. So it's super cool and breathable. My body runs hot so I'm always drenched in sweat and this jersey is perfect.

The cut isn't excessively baggy like you'll find on a lot of MTB gear. I'm 6'3" 200lbs with a 42 inch chest and the L fits me great. Fairly fitted but has enough room to move and long enough which is hard to find for me without sizing up and getting a super baggy fit.

Rating for this product: 4 June 2, 2012

Based on the other reviews it looks like these tubes can be pretty hit or miss so it wouldn't be a bad idea to inflate them a day before you really need them, just in case.

That said I haven't had any problems with mine. Works great if you want to load up on cheap tubes.

Rating for this product: 5 June 2, 2012

Do you spend 40 hours a week in a shop or factory cranking out as many bikes per day as possible? No? Then these beam style wrenches are a much better option than ratchet styles. They last longer, they're much cheaper and they're accurate.

They don't come with any bits (besides the 3/8 in adapter on the TW-1) so be prepared with your own hex socket set.

Easy to use with the squeeze bottle and straw. Much, much, much better than lubing your chain with a spray can which is messy and wastes a ton of lube.

Great for use on derailleurs and any other part of your bike that needs a light oil.
