Hey Paula,

The North Face Surge backpack is not waterproof. You could treat the nylon material with a water sealer and make it a bit water resistant, but you would still have the issues of the non waterproof zippers. Still the North Face Surge is a great pack to have..!!

Hope this helps The Chad...

hey pete,
Both vests are good, so it boils down to personal preference. If you are cocerened about running out of water go with the hpl 020, it holds a half liter more water and only adds .5 extra ounces to your weight. I personally don't go through alot of water when I train (I should consume more), but hydration and nutrition are what win ultras..

hope this helps,
...what 50K are you training for ?...

yes, they are wind and waterproof....

hey terry,
I use these with my tent and they hold up well. Frozen ground is hard on all tent stakes, but I've found with a little extra care when pounding them in, they work fine.

hey kansasam,
No one seems to know... I talked the backcounrty.com chat and Mark E. responded...
"usually on the weekdays we have people that can go back in the warehouse and check things out, so if you chat back monday we can go look and see if that has 24 hour time or just 12"

hope this helps

**Weight: 5 lbs 4 oz(trail); 6 lbs 11 oz (total)**
To get to the 5 lbs 4 oz you need to leave all the extras that the tent comes with at home...such as bags for the tent, poles, and stakes, etc. You can save a little more weight by purchasing lighter stakes (titanium), and custom made poles. It all depends how much effort and money you want to spend to save a few ounces...

Hey Barbara,
The cover doesn't go all the way to the ground. It does go past where the bath tub floor starts, and as Dave mentioned the bath tub extends about 5 inches up. You can tighten down the fly with the straps but if you tighten them too much you can cause the tent poles to flex. There is suppose to be a small gap between the fly and the ground for ventilation so that the tent doesn't hold condensation.
hope this helps,

Thanks Kelsey..
I appreciate the info, and hopefully I will stay dry..!! :)

Thanks Phil,
that was exactly what I needed to know...
