Fjallraven Sarek Trekking Jacket - Mens

Written on Feb 08, 2018

This is an excellent jacket, but not worth the full retail price IMHO,especially since it is made in China. So, I was pretty stoked to buy this at a bargain price form CampSaver. Sizing is good - I usually wear Large and tat is what I got in this jacket. I can wear a sweater and down vest underneath without feeling like a sausage, but at the same time the jacket has a fairly trim profile. If you plan on wearing it in the rain, get the Greenland Wax and use it! If I was to change anything, i would have a better means for securing the hood when not in use, but that is a minor gripe.

Patagonia Down Sweater Vest - Mens

Written on Feb 08, 2018

This is my go-to layer for the colder months (and when they blast the A/C at work in the summer). It is great over a sweater and is not too bulky for a shell to be worn over it. I got one for my teenaged son and he managed to put a big nasty hole in it in a bicycle wipe-out. I sent it to Patagonia and they fixed it right up and it looks good as new. I paid for shipping to Patagonia's shop and they fixed it and mailed it back on their nickel. This sort of service is one reason I don't mind paying a bit extra for their products. It also washes up pretty nicely.

Patagonia Nano Puff Pullover - Mens

Written on Feb 08, 2018

This is an excellent lightweight layer for cool weather. If it's really cold, I will wear it under a down vest. This is a close fitting garment, so don't plan on piling layers underneath. Only downside for me is that the pits get stinky quickly, but such is life. It packs down small into the pocket. Nice color.

Fixe Top Anchor Hanger

Written on Feb 08, 2018

I purchased three pairs of these for hanging hammocks in the back yard. We have had two people in a double hammock weighing in at over 350 pounds and there was no problem with these hangers holding the weight. They have endured a lot of rainy weather and look none the worse for it. I also like that they have rounded edges and a fairly low profile, and nobody has snagged any clothing on them when the hammocks are not hung. I have not used them for climbing so i cannot speak to that application.

Trangia Spirit Burner

Written on Feb 08, 2018

I love the simplicity of this stove and wish I had discovered it sooner! I introduced it to may dad, an avid camper and no frills kind of guy and he was ready to buy one for himself. The one thing to be careful of is that the flame is hard to see and this can present a hazard. I quick wave of the hand above the stove will tell you if the flame is lit. Fuel is easy to find and is cheap.

Patagonia Marching In Roger That Hat

Written on Feb 08, 2018

This was purchased to replace an older Roger That cap. i like these because they are comfortable caps - the sweatband is not irritating and is good for all day comfort. I also like that the patch does not scream PATAGONIA, since i already sport that logo on other clothes and I don't like feeling like a walking endorsement. That said, I love their products. The blue is very vibrant. I would probably go with they grey if you don't like vibrant color.
