For me the small was too small and the medium fits but does feel just a bit big. Very warm.

7 years strong and still pumping! I think it helps to get a hose that is longer to reach the water source. Keeps you from falling in! Haha Get one.

Lasted a couple years, but...

MSR Hydromedary Hydration Bag

Rating for this product: 3 April 11, 2011

After heavy use and cleaning, the inside of the hose had started coming out / off and made it hard to get good water flow to the mouthpiece that was leaking anyways. While trying to get it all connected for a hike last week, I went to pull the hose off since I couldn't get it twisted around. I was just going to disconnect and reconnect the hose in proper alignment, but the base off the connector piece on the bladder decided it was time to completely tear off, rendering it completely broken. It lasted for about 4 years and it had leaked out of the mouthpiece connection for half that time. This started as a 5 star product, but has dropped throughout the years.

Has anyone tried using this in conjunction with an MSR water filter? I.e, removing the bite valve and connecting the hose directly to the filter? Thats how my MSR badder worked, and I would like to make sure that is possible with this...

Thanks!

Does the job

MSR Quick 1 Titanium Cooking System

MSR Quick 1 Titanium Cooking System

Rating for this product: 5 January 1, 2011

This is a nice pot that will boil a liter of water. The lid doubles as a strainer and a plate, not the greatest though. It works perfect with the MSR pocket rocket stove and the fuel canister fits inside. The mug does add just a bit of weight, but is a neat design and since its ether the fuel or mug that fits int he pot I dont feel it makes that big of a difference. The pot actually has worked fine for a buddy and I on a 2 day summer climb, when we did one hot meal at night and coffee in the morning. If you plan on using this to melt snow, I would recommend a bigger pot, and that will probably work better with a bigger stove...

This is a fine piece of gear! Super weather proof too. Cary's well enough as a backpack to get you where you need to go, i.e. airport to cab etc. I have a large and it holds a ton of stuff. The inside has a really durable lining and washes out well. The specs say it has 2 internal mesh pockets, mine has one 1 big one on the inside of the opening with a key clip.

I have to admit, a couple of friends just had had to get one after seeing mine... Ahahahaa!

Great jacket!

The North Face Redpoint Optimus Insulated Jacket - Men's

The North Face Redpoint Optimus Insulated Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 December 20, 2010

It fits really nice. The inside chest pocket does snag a bit. Be advised, it does not have any vents, however it does breath well. I find it works best as a summit and belay jacket. I've taken it out on winter trips, but its best suited for late and early season.

It has withstood some pretty stiff wind, rain and snow, but I wouldn't recommend it for serious weather. It has been great for late night bar-hopping, though!

The one pair I bought in 2006 is still rockin strong. They have held up very well considering the high usage they get; there pretty much all I wear besides chaco's, so... I wear a 9.5 and the 10 is a perfect fit.

Is this left or right zip? If anyone has anything to say about the use of this bivy in snow / inclement weather and the waterproof / breathability that would be great.

Updating all my packs now!

Rating for this product: 5 August 19, 2010

I finally updated my day pack and after several options and different packs I looked at, I picked this one. Let me tell you its a BMF! Super comfy, holds the right amount of gear and the built in rain cover is nice. I also really like the trekking poll attachment, as I usually end up scrambling up most of the peaks I have been doing lately. It seems this pack will work well for light winter trips too.

I decided that Im going to update my other 2 packs and will be going with Osprey's for sure!

Therm-a-Rest Z Lite Sleeping Pad

Rating for this product: 5 August 5, 2010

I use a full size one for dang near everything, and it has served extremely well over the years. Its getting a little frayed on the corners etc. but that is to be expected. Its lite, easy to fold / carry on any pack, and it can be folded / adjusted in length to make a comfy chair on rocks etc.

Self inflating is nice. I also use a guide lite at times, but foam does not pop!

This is by far my favorite Nixon watch yet. I was wanting something a little bigger, but not too big, and this is "Goldie Locks" (just right) my friends! I got the stainless / white and absolutely could not be happier...

Rating for this product: 5 March 24, 2010

Thats all I have heard since I first pulled this bad boy out of the box and put it on. Some people like fancy expensive cell phones, I happen to be a watch guy. Very comfortable, looks super sweet and its water proof so you dont have to pop it off before hoping in the hot tub, lake ect. The chronograph is a little odd, but I don't really use it... I must admit I was a bit sketched out about putting down that much money but Im very happy with the product.

Another great Nixon score!

Rating for this product: 3 January 26, 2009

When I actually got it, the metal clasp had come apart from the band, and after several attempts to re fit it, it kept coming undone. Also, it was not the most comfortable band I have worn. I ended up sending it back and getting a different style. The good folks at back country did not hesitate to refund the order. The comfort issue is merely preference, and like I said, it is a good looking watch!

Mountain Hardwear Sentinel Sling Bag - 1400cu in

Rating for this product: 4 November 9, 2008

At first I wasn't going to get this bag because it's a little pricey for a scrub like me. After looking through lots of bags though, this one was the winner. It holds a ton of stuff and is very comfortable to carry. The only thing I would change about it to give it five stars, would be a tote handle on the main outside flap in addition to the shoulder strap. There is one on the inside, but it's just not what I would call functional. If you don't mind tossing in a few extra bucks for a great bag, get one of these!

These are great pants that can do it all!

Snowboarding/skiing, snowshoeing, mountaineering ect...

The only down side for me is the legs are a little long... Every pair of mountain hardware paints I have are like that though... Weather protection is great in snow, wind and rain! I love em!
