I agree, the eLITE is a great ultra-light, general purpose headlamp for lightweight backpacking or for stashing in your ten essential kit on dayhikes. I've also used it on late afternoon runs to increase visibility. Just cinch up the headband to fit around your arm or around your waist and turn it to "flashy red light" mode. The eLITE is also just plain cool-great gift for anyone that likes nifty design.

This jacket packs down to fit in the palm of your hand, so it makes it into my pack on everything from dayhikes to climbs to multiday trips. I'd say it's almost worth having in your ten essentials kit. Blocks wind well and protects in light rain. If it does get soaked, I throw on my Patagonia DAS Parka and the Ether Wind Jacket dries in about 10-15 minutes. The front pocket is great for storing liner gloves or silk-weight balaclava. S size is a bit tight for my 5'5'' 145lb frame, but I have fairly wide shoulders.
