Good base layer
Written on Jun 16, 2018
This is a very comfortable base layer. It has a silky feeling. I put one on per mountain trip: sleep, climb, trek, wash, swim, etc. It is very light, but not flimsy. I use it for treking, running, gym, travel, etc.
Greatest mountain equipment

MSR WindBurner 1.0L System
I have the old MSR Whisperlite, this is heavier but such an improvement. It is faster, easier, safer, cleaner and essentially dummy proof. There should be downside (everything has one), but as a new user I have not figured it out. Maybe if I drop the stove from waist high it will break, but it will have to wait for it to happen (my Whisperlite is drop proof).
Gone are the days of shielding the stove or putting up the wind barrier.
Boil the water, drop in the freeze dried stuff, and voila. Clean it boil the water make tea, and voila.
Would be very interested in the cons - except for the weight differential.
Can it be adapted to the Whisperlite fuel bottles? Can it burn any fuel type?

SL is a better choice.

I found the fabric to be kind of coarse and plasticy, next to skin. I returned mine, in favor of the lighter SL, which has a silky feeling. I live in SoCAL, I use it for running and in the gym most of the time. In the mountains, the minor difference in insulation I can remedy with layers.
Quality product but over priced

Arc'teryx Sidewinder SV Jacket - Men's
I purchased this jacket as well as a Northface, and an Outdoors Research. I also checked the prices on Millet, Patagonia and Marmot. The quality of the product is similar to its competitors but it is much more expensive. I already own a BETA SV jacket, the reason I was looking at the Sidewinder is due to the cut. Arcteryx does not properly size their layers. I am a large, with the base and two layers, the jacket I currently own becomes a sausage raper. The Sidewinder has a more generous cut allowing for layering. However, it is overpriced for its quality, after all it is a Gortex shell. I have been buying Arcteryx for years and I have seen other brands catch up, but Arcteryx has produced no price worthy improvements to justify its premium. I will be returning the jacket.
