MSR MiniWorks Ex Ceramic Water Filter DO NOT USE

MSR MiniWorks Ex Ceramic Water Filter DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 2 September 16, 2008

Hmm, I dunno.

Nice to have clean water but this thing is finicky.

Clogs REALLY EASILY; then you have to take it apart and clean the filter with dirty water, and try to get it all back together-pain in the A.

Mine only pumped a gallon or two before clogging

My most enduring memory of this filter is being swarmed and attacked by mosquitos while I filled water bottles at a VERY slow dribble while my companions ran off screaming. Literally hundreds of bites before filling three bottles.

Iodine is cheaper, lighter, and you can put in a tablet and run!

When I first got this pack I was not sure about it-it kind of has a funny shape.

However after using it it (Hut to Hut-no tent or bag), I think it is great.

It rides really well, the most important attribute.

The only funky things are the buckles, which seem whimpy and are; give them a good pull and they will snap in two

Great Jacket-I have had several over the years. I wish I would have gotten the version with hand pockets. ps Dear Marmot: I miss the hood they used to have; you didn't use it much, but when you needed it it was awesome

Patagonia Stretch Element Pant - Men's

Patagonia Stretch Element Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 February 6, 2008

I have a pair of old strech triolet pants that have been 5+ star. I was hoping these would replace them, but I should have read the product description closer "Details include a Bombay Fly for no-hassle relief when nature calls; " This Fly Sucks. It goes all the way around and is annoying as hell. The way the zipper is made, arcteryx imitation, it is really wide and uncomforatble; rubs on your thighs. It also runs up your butt, when you sit down it feels like you have a kevlar rope g-string on. And really, how often to you need to completely unzip down the middle? I agree with the other reviewers that it runs small, and unlike the big guy, I though it was short seamed. There is also only one pocket, just big enough to keep you lipstick in (I don't even think an I-phone would fit in it). Don't ski clothing designers carry anything in their pockets? I might be OK for ice climbing, but this is not a pant for ski-touring.

I bought these on sale last year right before going on a couple of commercial river trips. The guides all looked at them like I was crazy, but after the river trips, trips to Nicaragua and Hawaii-I am sold on them-they are awesome

These are not as weird as the Arc'teryx Palisade Short (see review), but they are definitely made in the same factory
