    New backpacking gear from Tusx

    IdahoElk, I found the sizes to be pretty accurate, if you want to layer up underneath I would suggest going the size up if your borderline. I just had a look on their website and it looks like the large is out of stock, so the decision may have been made for you :) Regards Mark.

    New backpacking gear from Tusx

    Good2eat, I had a look and yes it is pretty good for you guys over there. That flat rate of $20.00 is in AUD, at the moment it will be under $14.00 USD. That is for a package up to 5kg (11 lbs) . Pretty good value. Mark.

    Pants with functional dry seat ?

    GKPrice, The Sitka timberline pants do look like a good pant, although I haven't had any experience with them. Although they do look similar to the Tusx Schist pant, there are some differences that set them apart. The Tusx pant has No centre seam in the dry seat meaning less wear a more...
