OR show gear

[layton]

Not a whole lot to see unless you're psyched on a myraid of choice for clothing, sleeping bags, jackets, and backpacks.

 

The prizewinners in my book:

 

Metolius - offset mastercams

 

Cilogear - unwoven dyneema packs (~1lb for 45L which wayne and I tested with 7 days worth of stuff crammed in)

 

Brooks Range- unwoeven dyneema tent with reflective outter, clip in hole, and sets up with ski poles and avy probe. 1lb. with weight of probe and poles taken out. 2lb with probe. probably could get easton to make a lighter pole for summer if no avy probe is along.

 

DMM: new cams, lighter than camalots with almost the same design

 

some other great ideas/protoypes, but nothing that's workable yet from other companies.

 

Won't somebody PLEASE design a decent pair of durable approach shoes? jesus!
