So I was looking at each of the website's descriptions for the detergents. It appears that Atsko markets their wash as "Residue Free Detergent" that won't "clog the pores of your fabric".
All Free and Clear claims there is "no irritating residue". However, if there are UV brighteners it may...
Ya I'd have to agree, with the amount of money spent on this gear, a person would probably be wise to take every precautionary measure they can to keep it up to par.
Thanks! The ALL Free n Clear is actually what we use normally due to my daughter havi
Good to know as this is what we normally use due to my daughter having sensitive skin. Thanks guys!
Hey guys, great info here on the thread. I had purchased the ArmaTech half zip and ArmaFleece Hoodie earlier and was very impressed. After reading the reviews here I took the plunge.......So I now have the Bora pants, vest, beanie, neck gaiter and jacket, along with the Ghar jacket. Everything...
Just ordered me a pair of Hanwag Alverstone II GTX. Seem to be very similar to the Scarpa R-Evolutions with a little more flex according to what the customer service rep told me. I'll post up some initial thoughts on them when I get them.
I've researched this a bit as well and found that, as others have mentioned, additive seems to be the correct answer for the multiple sleeping pad R-value question.
As to which pad would go on top? According to a few forum posts I've read on backpacking light, they say, "in theory", the closed...
I'd be interested in hearing your thoughts on the Danner's once you've had the opportunity to use them for a while. Look like a nice boot.
For whatever reason, I seem to think I need something with a full rand. I like the idea of having a surface there around the bottom of the boot for a little...
After buying the high-end stuff I would say, IMO, yes it is worth it simply due to the fact of the durability and warranty (lifetime). Have had several "lighter weight" cheaper sets (FroggToggs, Cabelas Space Rain, Onyx, Red Ledge), and the condition I hunt in typically has me in brushy areas...
Following along here as I was just about to possibly pull the trigger on a pair of Lapponia's. But as Krojemann mentioned I'm a little worried about the heel issue as I've had the exact same experience with Crispi Guides. Seemed to be a great boot but really chewed up my heels when going up...
Hey Newmexican,
I was a faithful First Lite guy but wanted a softshell system which they did not offer at the time. Was not impressed with the Corrugate guides for my specific uses. So, I checked out Sixsite and their no questions asked LIFETIME WARRANTY and thought what heck why not.
I've got...
Hi Alec,
The seams have not been sealed. As far as the netting goes, yes I believe you could repair the netting yourself. The best would be to completely sew in new pieces on the upper portion of both ends as there are little holes all over. The other areas could be patched witch some gear...
I've got a Tarptent Moment DW I'd let go cheap but I'm thinking at 6'3" you may be a bit big for it. It got an 84" long footprint I believe so that might be cutting it a little short. Anyway, If you think you'd be interested let me know and I can send some info and pics.
