Very tough pack. I am a MHW whore though so my opinion is biased. It has never failed me in a good storm. My laptop stays dry and when you feel the material it is made out of you will understand.

keeps feet dry and keeps them smelling fresh. can't beat that for $0.01!! BC.com is the best!!

I have worn these around the house and not yet around the campfire as intended but they are comfy as can be. I wear a 9.5 in sneakers, but a 9 is a bit roomy. I was expecting a tight feeling for the first few days but it is rather comfortable. I don't know if this is incorrect fitting, but I will keep em. I am sure i could have purchased an 8 though....mayybe.

this will keep me warm in low temps, but i am most happy w/ the fit and feel of the jacket. very solid. This layers perfectly w/ my MHW Dragon softshell like gme27...said below. I can't wait to hit the BC. Glad i returned my previous synthetic for this one.

ps i got the black and it does not look like a trash bag. very good looking piece

...for the rain. bought the day it started raining and haven't looked back. awesome breathability and stretch. zweld is serious stuff. don't think i will have to worry about any wind. kind of expensive, but well worth it. I am 5'10" 165lbs athletic build and a large fits perfect. i can layer my synthetic down easily. i think the one here is last seasons because the chest pocket on my Dragon has the logo and the name embroidered on it. that is probably the only difference.

it's the perfect tent lantern because of the dual hook system on top. you can hang it from a free loop inside. very bright and very compact.

the description says belay slave, but in what condition because this sweater is super thin. i expected a little more from MHW. other than that the waistband was super loose and didn't even form to my body. it's like my sweater was trying to avoid my body. i had to send it back. i will stick to the MHW performance gear.

they weren't joking about this being light! big enough to eat cereal/soup and it wakes you up by filling up w/ a ton of coffee! I have also used this on top of a proprane burner and it worked well. no discoloring or warping. this cup is my new camping companion. love the little mesh sack that it comes in too, perfect for traveling so that it will not get damaged in your pack or if you want to combine other things w/ it for packing.

Just came back from Bishop trip and it just happened to be what the locals call "January weather" the low was 9 degrees. Crazy arctic winds were blowing and I felt fine. Jacket worked well. Didn't do any belaying which didn't matter because it does not have the belay pass thru pocket. Bummer cuz it was the selling point for me. That is the only thing that is making me consider returning it and trying maybe a high down fill perhaps. This jacket works well in 30-40 degrees as an outer layer though. Just thought i was getting the belay aspect.

nothing! Get one. You won't regret it....got one? Get another...boycott commercial plastic bottles, reuse.

Just got it and wearing it feels like it's always been mine. Very soft and light. This beanie still feels ready for some chilly brisk air. Get one while you can! I might order another just to have a different color! Thanks BC

ps it looks pretty damn good too

I use this pack for bouldering trips so I primarily have it strapped to my chest and it does not get in the way at all. It's actually kind of convenient when I want to use my water source. When I get to wear it the traditional way I hardly even notice it's there. Have yet to use the alpine aspect of the pack, but I do live in Southern California. Bishop and the Trams are the most it has yet to conquer. Will keep you posted.
