Montane Via Trail Gaiter - Men's
After having to dump my boots out constantly at Great Sand Dunes National Park and not infrequently among the rockies, I wanted a simple gaiter to keep stuff out. But I didn't want to glue velcro to all my shoes.
This stays on great and blocks sand, scree, etc. Materials are sturdy and I love the easy replaceable sole strap. Fits my cankles.

Warm, wind resistant, packable

Montane Prism Hat
In the winter and shoulder seasons, I struggled with getting the right combination of stuff on my head to keep out cold, block the sun, and vent excess heat. I use this hat in combination with an earband, a super lightweight visor, and a balaclava if it's really really cold. This hat alone is perfect for frigid early starts. Hat + visor for when the sun comes out, and visor + earband when I'm doing an aggressive ascent. Unlike other hats I've had, this packs down tiny so I can pull it on and off as needed with climbs and breaks and just stuff it in a pocket instead of having to remove my pack to stow it. Also small enough it can live in my pack all summer for unexpected summit storms.
Build quality is excellent.
I have a medium head in women's helmets. This fits great.

Goal Zero Lighthouse 600 LED Lantern
I've had this for over 5 years with moderate use, including periods of intense use during power outages, camping, home renovations. The hand crank I guess is better than nothing, but my nephew was trying to get it up to full charge on a car trip (for fun, because kids) and he only got it up ~25% in about two hours. I like that you can just use half the light to save power and glare, and that you can extend the legs out to cast the light further. I wish the red lights could be on steady and not just flashing/emergency flare kinda use. I think this should be about half its list price.
Fit my 15 year old Leki poles

Kelty Snow Basket For Trekking Pole, Pair
These screwon, stay on, and are sturdy. They are a bit flexible so they won't break, but they are better built than other ones I was looking at in-stores. Good size for fluffy snow. They do fit my old Leki poles perfectly (but not my Komperdell/REI brand). Not easy to get on (like any other option) but that means that they will stay on well.
