Review for Helinox Chair Zero

I’m 63 years old and a little overweight. I was reluctant to purchase this wondering if I could get in and out of the chair without significant embarrassment. I’m happy to say that it functions really well, I was able to easily sit in the chair and get out without having to get on my hands and knees. I found it really comfortable to have back support rather than relying on a tree or sitting on a downed limb. I’m definitely going to carry this with me on future trips.

Quality light; needs a few minutes improvements

Review for Black Diamond Voyager Lantern/Flashlight

I purchased these lights for my son and my daughters boyfriend. They both expressed how easy they are to use, the dimming feature and easy to throw in a daypack or go bag. Both thought the extension seemed a little flimsy. I was super happy with the sale price otherwise I wouldn’t have purchased at full price.

My daughter loves her blanket

Written on Mar 03, 2019

Review for kelty-bestie-blanket

I purchased these blankets for my wife, daughter and daughter-in-law. My daughter in particular “loves” her blanket. She describes it as fluffy, comfortable, cozy and lightweight. She loves the color. My daughter-in-law describes it as soft and comfy. I think it was a great bargain and happy I purchased them. We highly recommend them.

Vasque breeze

Review for Vasque Breeze III GTX Hiking Boot - Men's

This boot is extremely durable, lightweight, waterproof and breathable. Most important to me is the ankle support; I feel very confident in any terrain. This is the second pair of Vasque breeze boots that I have purchased. The first pair lasted well over four years of frequent use. I have a tendency to wear down the outside of the heels which effects my gait so I need to replace footwear more often for this reason alone. I purchaaed my first pair just before a seven day backpacking trip and literally took them out of the box and hit the trail. I have never had any blisters with this boot.

Nano Puff Hoody

Review for Patagonia Nano Puff Hoody - Mens

I recently purchased a Puff to replace one that i have abused for the last three years. I bought the same size as previous and found the waist cut to be more fitted (slimmer) than my first one. Just an FYI when purchasing. This is a versatile piece of equipment that i use for hiking, skiing, backpacking...My old one is now my "beater" coat for working around the house. Highly recommend.

Review for Osprey Magnetic Bite Valve

I have used one for several years, primarily while backpacking. I always know where my H2O source is. It makes drinking very convenient which promotes hydration. (I still have to remember to drink though)
