    These are the lightest "hammock-rated" carabiners. I've used them for 30+ nights with no issues. And yes, I know how to tie all manner of knots, including that stupid Hennessy lash.

    I like my full zip precip pants but I don't plan to use them in warmer temps anymore (they do breathe pretty well) because I'm going to get a ULA rainskirt.

    BAD ADVICE! Get some ripstop repair tape, ideally in a matching color. I have some on a North Face down vest that is probably 20 years old. If you sew it it'll pucker and look like shiite.
