Black Diamond HiLight Tent: 2-Person 3-Season

July 25, 2012

I use a big piece of polycro as a groundcloth, technically thinner than the floor itself. You don't really need the one they sell.

I love this jacket, and I bring it everywhere. Warms you up fast, but not too warm on a windy day. So light there's no excuse for not having it on you at all times.

The clip-on sold it for me - what's the point of having a temp sensor on your wrist? Loving it so far. I'll add more as I use it.

Looking at the pictures, it looks like the tube is attached to the screw on/off part, so I don't think it will work.

I have their contact wool bottoms, and you just wash gentle on cold and line dry. Although I've done 15 minutes on the underwear cycle with no issues, but buyer beware.

I have a down Lafuma mummy, and my boyfriend has a synthetic Lafuma mummy with opposite zip. They do zip together but it's really tricky.

If you're camping alone, then probably unnecessary. But with two or more people in one tent, this is a great little light. If you use a keyring LED for your nighttime toilet light, this is nicer for reading, changing clothes, or other hands-free operations.

I used Therma-Rests for years, then I got this because it was lighter and two cost as much as a new NeoAir. Surprise, it's far more comfortable than even ProLite+Ridge Rest! It's a little sticky, and a little cold. Last weekend in my 30F bag I had to wear a hoodie over my PJs. But I had no trouble falling back asleep.

This was my first filter - boyfriend's 3rd, and he was far more impressed than I was. Using creeks and streams in the Cascades, we had no problems filling this up. Didn't need to do the backflush at all, but after 9L figured we would. If you follow the directions it's a snap. It's not an all-purpose filter, but works for us.

Lafuma Warm 'n Light 800 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down - Women's

Lafuma Warm 'n Light 800 Sleeping Bag: 30 Degree Down - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 September 8, 2008

I wore lightweight wool tights and a synthetic top to bed, low of 35 or so in the mountains, pulled the hood as tightly as I could - and I got too warm. Loosened it a bit and was fine. However, this left-zip bag (my boyfriend has a 1000g Lafuma synthetic right-zip) had the zipper at the bottom instead of the top, so we couldn't zip up together. This was very disappointing, and I suppose I'll have to pay someone to fix it.
