Awesome shoes.

Review for
Salewa Wildfire Vent Approach Shoe - Mens
It's light, dries fast and out of the box, they're amazingly comfortable. I'm glad I didn't get the gtx version with goretex. I'd much rather have 60% better ventilation 100% of the time, than being dry when there's water. The ankle isn't high enough to stop splashes going in the shoe, without gaiters.

Decent bag, but a couple things to be mindful of
Written on Jun 01, 2015
It's well designed and has a lot of nice features. Works well with my sleeping pad, even though it's not a thermarest (Klymit static V). The whole system is pretty well thought out. First problem is rating, it's not a 0 degree bag, it's probably closer to 10F. Second is the bag comes with a storage sack (good) and a "field sack" (useless) which doesn't have compression straps. I just use a compression sack for a 25F synthetic bag I have (7"x18") and it works perfectly. You could probably go down to a 6" diameter compression sack.
Lightweight, low profile, easy operation. Excellent all round auto-locker

Review for
Edelrid Pure Slider Locking Carabiner
It's very light weight. It's low profile enough to be able to be rotated in a hanger, as opposed to the bulk you find on regular autolockers. It's my go to locking carabiner now.
Most lockers can be unlocked by turning the knurl. This can be done, as long as you can touch the knurl. For example, if the gate is facing away from you, grabbing the sides of the knurl to turn the autolocking mechanism is how you unlock it. With the slider, you need to get a finger on the slide locking mechanism. If access to the slide mechanism is blocked, you can't unlock, obviously.
Just like all climbing gear, understanding the gear's limitation is critical. For me, the low weight and profile offset the unlikely possibility of not being able to unlock.
