Black Diamond Hooped Bivy Sack    This product is no longer available
 
bibler hooped bivy sack   11-04-03   

Worked well in bighorn mts, wyoming. Positive: Very light, made solo infinitely better. No setup. Packs smaller than my sleeping bag. Kept me completely out of wind/snow/frost. Negative: I'm 6' even, wishing I got the extra-long, as putting clothes/raingear/camera in sack with me for the night made it pretty crowded. Some condensation on the interior floor after nights of 10-20 degrees fahrenheit, but easily wiped dry. Overall: definitely worth it.

Alpina BC 1550 Backcountry Boot    Read other reviews of this product
 
burly boot   01-16-06   

I purchased this boot for my "Alpina cross-terrain" backcountry cross country skis, with Rottefella NNN BC bindings. It has been a great setup, and it floats extremely well even in soft snow (when I am with friends who are wearing snowshoes, I seem to sink about 2-3 inches for every 10-12 inches they sink). The boot is very sturdy, and almost as comfortable as good hiking boots for walking. It is warm, but I'm glad I went with the slightly larger size for extra thick socks and toe-wiggle room.
