  1. VE-25 is tight for 3 people. It's listed as a 3man tent, and if being cozy is fine, then 3 is ok. but it really is a 2man with space tent. As for durable, VE-25 is a time tested design. From what I gather from online info, the exped. is $80more, same square footage, 1 extra pole. ^^If those are correct, then I'd go with the VE-25 hands down
  2. I'll have a pic later today. But it's a pretty standard item. A new one is $135, so...if $75 is unreasonable, let me know.
  3. Oops - slightly older Frontpoint. no reinforced forearms. price? not sure - first offer I think is fair and it's sold.
  4. Iconic duffel - huge - very good condition. Size is XL. Just a lot of writing on the top lid (address). The cordura has three spots of wear on the bottom - doesn't go throught to the yellow (it's a double bottom). Shoulder straps are there.
  5. Not pay shipping? It's a very well thoughtout, relatively light daypack for only $50 bucks! It's pretty durable - dyneema grid - and you're supporting a company that actually supports the environment.
  6. Too heavy? maybe you are thinking of the gamma MX? I have the alpha comp jacket, it is an excellent all around piece. As for weight, I got it without the hood, and keep a patagonia "pneumatic" anorak in my pack. ^^small, light, and the material is activent (thin gore)
  7. If you are looking for a simmer control - I would go with the Primus omnifuel, since it's a solid item and takes bottles and cannisters. And the pump is metal
  8. I like my XGK II. mine has the solid fuel line, but they went back to a flexible line, and added "feet", and pot stabilizers with teeth. Not sure if the flexible line is gain/loss over function. flexible = packable, solid = less buildup?
  9. Both Size large, Aconcagua and Everest. Everest has long sleeves. Taking offers. The designs never fade due to some treatment. 100 poly t-shirts both very good condition see attachement for pic of the Aconcagua shirt
  10. Bought for a canoe trip that didn't materialize. Would like to get back what I paid. totally brand new (round pump of course)
  11. "Redrock", regular torso, v.good condition. for details/pics msg me plz
  12. There are two patches on the inside legs, and the hem needs some glue. other than that perfect. XCR 3ply, pics available, will post a link shortly
  13. Exc. cond have pics. serious inquiries only please Also, I have $191 in Patagonia credit I am not planning on using. if someone is interested and would like it at a slight discount, let me know (it's fully transferrable)
  14. These pants are small to medium in sizing. They have a 30" inseam and the waist is about 31" or 32" unstretched. excellent cut lots of room to layer. Condition: AS NEW. Serious. These are my in-city overpants. Slap em on to keep wind at bay and over work clothes to-from work. No scuffs/wear or anything like that WHAT-SO-EVER (used my steeptechpants to ski in/winter camping) Details: 3ply gore-tex, gusset in crotch, two way zipper fly, suspenders but NO highback, rear zipped "wallet" pocket, snap at hem and hip, flaps over side zipper - NO gaiters so uncomplicated on/off with boots. And one-hand adjustment to tighten the cuff without a buckle: there's a fabric retainer so less bulk/no breakage. fabric is 5.4oz and 4.4oz micro ripstop gore-tex, model is Torre pants. attached an actual pic of the pants, and a catalog pic of the matching jacket. Don't need em, since I just got Arc'teryx theta Sk's http://static.flickr.com/36/96954673_25d7496396.jpg?v=0 http://static.flickr.com/32/96956856_e55083f75e_o.jpg Pants are relatively light, but HEAVY DUTY. still have my torre jacket and it looks like new questions: just email me gearup5000 at yahoo.com $150 delivered? I need marmot ultimate gloves in medium, or arc'teryx gamma SV's in large, spy goggles would be nice. work out a $$$/swap deal lemme know
  15. It's a size medium windbreaker. velcro cuffs, drawcord at the hem AND one behind the neck, zipper and snap front placket. The kangaroo pocket turns inside out to make a stuff sack. How bout...$27 delivered? Pic here: Picture of jacket
  16. I have had the gamma's for a year, but never used for ice. THe one thing to know is that they are NOT windproof. If it's windy, your hands will get cold pretty fast. I have to locate my thin 2-nd skin liner gloves and try them out and see if that helps. Outside of the wind issue, they fit great and and have unbelievable dexterity. Think of...leather driving gloves. Also, the pull tabs on the cuffs are great - when getting the 2nd one on the tab says "bite me"
  17. Torre pants still available. Your SA pants are in the mail as of Monday
  18. I haven't tried mine out in snowy conditions, but I have in wet ones, and what I do is keep a very light, no frills windbreaker with me. simple nylon hooded pullovers pop up non and then on ebay, however I got lucky and scored an activent one This way, if you have a jacket, you get full protection with a lot of flexibility. Activent also cuts wind/very water resistant, so if th softshell gets too hot, toss the activent/other over a regular fleece/sweater.
  19. Anyone use one of the new packs in serious rain?
  20. I would get the kangaroo pocket for convenience. Possibly with an all weather flap. For small items, it's invaluable.
