Nice snag-free wiregate

Written on Apr 15, 2019

Good gate action and the unique approach to a snagless wiregate (i.e., the piece at the tip of the wiregate which interacts with the keylock nose) means a particularly slim clipping profile. Good size for those of us without dainty hands or when wearing gloves, but the i-beam structure does feel somewhat thin. I wouldn't want to leverage this carabiner over any edges, which you'd never want to do with any carabiner, but occasionally gear shifts with unintended outcomes. Also, it isn't too difficult to nudge the gate open by smushing the nose against a flat surface. Overall it competes well with the BD Hoodwire, but perhaps a hair less refined than the offerings from DMM and WildCountry.

Nice air mat

Written on Jan 09, 2015

Warm and relatively easy to inflate for a hand-pump mat. Not as easy to inflate as a mat you simply blow up, but it does avoid introducing moisture from your breath into the air chambers. I like the shape at the shoulders; on regular flat (e.g., 20 inch wide thermarest) pads, I find my arms falling off the sides. With the head-to-toe oriented air chambers, my arms stay on the pad and off the cold ground. Can't speak to durability as I've only used it a few nights.
