This tent will suite solo "ultralighters", but not sufficient for 2 as stated. I had mucho condensation on my first few nights, which is a bummer when you have little head room. Ventilation... not so good either. No vestibule, which with rain results in a wet floor or even worse, wet dirt. Also keep in mind that you're probably gonna pitch this tent with trekking poles, so just hope that one of them doesn't break, it's not fun (true story). I returned mine after the first trip. I would recommend going with the MSR "TWING" instead.

I got this watch as a Christmas gift last year, And it is one of my favorite pieces of gear to have with me! I have a knack for banging watches around and putting some scars on em'. So I was VERY happy to see that this thing is a tank! You can beat it around (I have) and there will not be a scratch or mark on it. Besides that, the functions are great and very accurate in my observation. All of those great qualities are topped off with a great look. I wear this watch daily and just about everywhere I go.

Super grip! love the color strip on the side too! All around a great buy!

This liner is definitely sufficient and I'm not knocking it. However the size is a bit cumbersome for those of us who need space in their packs. If you're more into recreational type camping rather than backpacking, then this will work well. Backpackers try a silk liner. I'd say you'll get an extra 5-7 degrees of warmth from this one. However, if you're doing some summer backpacking, you can cut out the sleeping bag all together to use this.

This is one of the best investments of all my gear! It runs a little short on length, so you may not wanna wear it "out and about". I'd recommend going up a size with this. For 20 degree weather all I need is a shirt underneath and this and I'm good. For windy days or rain use this bad boy under a waterproof layer/jacket and your good to go! Packs away into a small stuff sack, saving you a lot of room and weight. You'll think twice about packing a bulky fleece when you have this as an option. You will not be disappointed.

Detailed and up to date. Now you only need to find your destination, enhance the detail as desired and print! No more bulky maps just print the area you need. So easy and you'll save a ton of money. Plus you can view others trips and a few tips about planning your own route. You'll get 25 map credits, 1 map for each. After those are used it's only a dollar per map.

When I'm out, I'm usually not in any hurry. But I will say the rate of water that goes through this thing is pretty good, even when it's not on fast flow. Very simple to use. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the shape, it's a little bulky. I've gone through approx. 23 gallons on the same filter, so I can say it definitely does it's job. If I ever get sick I may sing a different tune. For now I am satisfied with this buy.

I really like this handle bar, my only complaint is that after about 20 min. of riding, my wrists ache. The length, the weight, and strength of these bars is amazing. If you have weak wrists, I think a bar with a higher rise will be a bit better.

I couldn't be happier with this tent! It's Light weight, packs up pretty good, the stakes are titanium! Breathablity is fantastic (obviously). The vestibules keep you and the floor dry in rainy conditions. On dry nights remove the fly and enjoy the stars! To save weight, take only the fly and footprint, that is if you don't mind some creepy crawly's.

The best thing about this stove is it's size! You can tuck this thing into just about any place. Burns well and operation is self explanatory. It's perfect for 1 or 2 people. If you're cutting weight, this is a must. So, ditch the bulky stove and save some space in your pack!

These shoes are a great buy. They look great and they're water resistant. It took a bit for me to break them in, but once I did I was very satisfied. I Love these shoes. The only reason I grade it 4 stars rather than 5, is because they cracked along the inside at around 20 miles. The terrain was extremely harsh and rocky, so I wouldn't expect many shoes to do as well as these. The traction and tread are great, and once worn in they are very comfortable to wear. You definitely wanna break them in before a hike. Reasonably priced.

I love this pack! But that logo is a little bit lame. 2 liters is more than sufficient for a nice ride. I can fit all the things I need for a ride. Tubes, levers, pump, bike tool, etc. Fits very comfortably! I totally recommend it!

You gotta love Gerber's multi tools! They're equipped with suspension (Come on leatherman, Get with the program). Very cool look with all the tools you'll need. A tough Knife!

good for solo cookware. The "frying pan" is tiny, so you'll probably only wanna cook for one. Very light with adequate room inside for a backpacker's stove or small can of fuel. TIP. Bring only the bigger bowl and pan.

The pack does what it should. If you want a good priced pack with decent room, this one will not disappoint but neither will it impress. The looks and color selection are pretty cool. It would be better with an adjustable susp. system. Great for the casual camper looking for a good performing weekend pack.

Cool headlamp...(I'm not too sure why I got the yellow one though). It fits comfortably, it's very bright, Works in wet weather, It's the reason I'll never carry a regular flashlight again. If you need a great lamp at a good value, you cant beat the corona.

I'm definitely satisfied with the jacket. The price is great, the look is good and the performance is more than adequate. It's very light and it packs well. I would recommend it for normal rain conditions.
