This jacket broke my heart

Mountain Hardwear Phantom Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 February 24, 2010

I loved this jacket from the time I bought it until the first time I wore it in the woods. I bought it to wear on summits and around camp. Upon arriving at camp, I put it on and was immediately toasty. Then I went to answer nature's call and the sleeve tore open on a tree branch. Feathers were flying everywhere. I was crushed.

If you're looking for a super warm, super light jacket to wear around town, this is the one for you. Just don't wear it around trees. If you're looking for a jacket you can wear in the mountains, you'd do well to look elsewhere.

I've had this tent for a little over a year now and I've used it several times. It's easy to set up, looks sharp, and is relatively light. Blah, blah, blah. The thing that has made me love this tent is that it has kept me dry through some of the worst weather I've experienced in the backcountry. Torrential downpours, hurricane-force wind gusts, and freezing rain... this tent has battled and beat them all.

I've had this pack for almost 2 years and am generally pleased with it. It fits enough gear for a weekend overnight and I love the hip belt pockets for my camera and energy bars. My only complaint is that when the pack is fully loaded with gear, food, and water, the shoulder straps dig into my shoulders pretty hard. I guess you have to give up some comfort and padding if you want to keep the weight of the pack down.
