Icebreaker BodyFit 150 Atlas Zip Top - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 18, 2011

I wore this shirt for 3 weeks, almost 24 hours a day, in a true wilderness, with no shower.
Kept me dry and free of body odor.
Fits really good on the body.

Highly recommended!

Very good Merino, but low durability

Columbia Hiker Light Sock - Men's

Columbia Hiker Light Sock - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 July 18, 2011

As a Merino, it worked perfectly. I was switching between 3 socks (2 of this Columbia, and another lightweight Trekking socks) during a 50 days trek. The Columbia wicked moisture brilliantly, and prevented, or at least minimized blisters, and kept my feet chafe-free.
No less important, it had no smell what so ever, ever after wearing them for 2 weeks continuously.

The only Con, which is a pretty serious one, is that it's not durable enough. While the other sock remained in good shape, the 2 Columbia began to wear out in the heel and Achilles tendon.

Don't waste your money

I/O Bio Merino Universal T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

I/O Bio Merino Universal T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 1 July 18, 2011

I was using this shirt along side an IceBraker Marino T, and the difference in unbelievable. While the IceBraker, wicked moisture pretty well (but not as good as a synthetic), the I/O Bio became soaking wet, and almost caused me Hypothermia. Also, it took it ages to dry again.
If you really want to move to Merino, spend more money and buy a decent one.

It did wicked away odor nicely, better than any synthetic, but not as good as my IceBraker.

Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina 15 Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Synthetic

November 2, 2010

I having a hard time choosing between this bag and the Lamina 20.
I know this is a great bag, but does it worth the extra $$$ compared to the Lamina 20?
The temp diff is fair, also the weight and compression. What makes it cost 30-40$ more? Does it worth it?

Sea To Summit Reactor Thermolite Sleeping Bag Liner

November 1, 2010

I'm about the do the Annapurna trail and the Everest base camp trek in Nepal (huts with beds, but freezing nights). Do you think this will do (in addition to some blankets) or there is no escape from taking a sleeping bag?
I'm a guy, who usually is OK with mild & cold weather.
Thanks

Primus Classic Trail Stove

October 21, 2010

Will it work in High Altitude?
I am planning a trip to Nepal in few months.
Will it function in Altitudes as high as 16,000+ feet? For this trip, I need it mainly for Coffee breaks.
Also, Can I find a gas canister in Nepal that will fit this stove?

Thanks,
