I own two of these. They are fantastic little boats. I packrafted a good chunk of the Rogue river in Oregon in one. Have shot sections of the Salinas and King river in CA in one too. Lots of little bends and lakes as well. Super durable. Survived many encounters with the gravel river bottom. Just about two pounds. Takes about 7-10 minutes to unpack and fully inflate with the bag. I can carry two of these, two paddles, two pfds plus beers and snacks in a big ruck sack. Will really elevate your day hike game -- hike in and float or paddle out. I've done up Class II in these. The trick is to inflate the seat before the boat, and to put weight in the front. It paddles so much nicer with a good amount of weight up front. I've run 275 pounds total weight.

Wasn't planning on writing a review but the other reviewer had such a bad review I had to chime in. Doesn't even own one, and made more comments about the looks than anything else. Function over form in the backcountry. What a dingus.

I bought this jacket for a trip to Bergen in February 2018. I wanted something that would blend in an urban environment (I chose the color black) but that would also keep me dry on the trail.

This jacket fit the bill to a T. No frills, lightweight, weather resistant. I chose a size large so that I could layer underneath it.

My jacket is now four years old and looks brand new, and I find myself reaching for it each year during the rainy season, especially when I need weather protection but want to keep things minimalist.

Great jacket.

I just looked this tent up to see if they still make it, not because I need a new one. It's not the lightest and doesn't have the most advanced features, but it is extremely durable and has never failed me.
For car camping, this is an unbeatable value. Feels like home. I have literally been using it all across the U.S. for over 30 years. It's in my personal gear hall of fame.
