17.6 lbs. This is disappointing as I've done a lot to try and save weight (though I wouldn't consider my efforts extreme...)

Does anyone know of one?

Did you really use an item for 4 years and then return it? Did they give you any kind of flak for that?

This is the pack I purchased for my wife. It is fairly light (nothing earth shattering at 2lbs 13oz) but is padded out pretty well (this was really important to her). It has the same mesh...

This is a clever idea. Thanks.

I have wanted to do this to reduce the bulk of my food bag. However, I haven't been able to figure out how I would seal it back up as it cooks. Do you have a solution for this?

I have the Exos 58 and an MLD SpeedMid. I just stuff the tent in the outer stretch pocket. I never have a problem with it coming out and if it's wet when I pack it it will generally not get the...

Thank you all for your responses. Special thanks to FarmerChef, that was quite detailed and highly appreciated. I do have a residual question. We both pack a fleece AND a down puffy jacket. The...

Dogwood, I think the same can be said for most companies. The fact of the matter is Marmot is NOT the same company it was at the time you reference. UGQ offers what the OP is looking for at a...

Support your cottage industry - UGQ Flight Jacket 50 They also make a 40 degree version that's under 200 as well.

When I was a kid (13-19) I would hike with a poncho, poncho liner, and some food. Now I have a kid of my own and I'm far less careless (apparently). Last year she started getting really into...

I really like the REI Endeavor Convertible Pants (http://www.rei.com/product/843370/rei-endeavor-convertible-pants-mens-30-inseam) They are a bit expensive but they're really well made. They have...

I've found the 1/8" shock cord (about 6" with a knot on each end) tied in-line with my guy-out (with two clove hitches) works really well. Adds probably about .75 ounces?

I've read several first aid posts and taken particular note that no one else seems to carry hemostatic agents. Maybe I'm paranoid because I hike with my 6 year old a lot but I want to be able to...

I wear an LL Bean puffy and people look at you entirely cross-eyed... it's odd because for the money I think it's a great jacket! Resist down and everything!

I've recently acquired the Merrell Proterra's (low) and they're pretty good. They are light and flexible but offer a minimum amount of support. I used to wear trail gloves but rocks would hurt. ...

I bought the 58 because I often times take my 6 year old daughter and have to carry some of her stuff. When I'm solo I just cinch down the compression straps and away we go.

Thanks Rocket... I'm glad I'm at least not the only one.

For those of you that use your hat. This may be a dumb question but aren't you afraid of getting food smell on it? I hike with my young daughter and am really obsessive about hang bagging...

Gerber Paraframe (the bigger one) 3.5" blade and weighs only 2.7 ounces (yeah, I said only...) I guess my take is that when you NEED a knife you don't want something you need to baby.

I've sworn by the Merrell Trail Gloves for 2 years now. However, they are not for everyone as they afford you hardly any protection from rocks. On a whim I purchased the new Merrell Proterra lows...

I agree with the merino wool sentiment. Best bang for the buck are the golite merino shirts (SS or LS). I have 2 of the former and one of the latter and they are great. You can wear the LS in the...

Thanks for the help guys. I ended up just buying the Westcomb jacket with my REI coupon and dividend. I didn't have anything else I really wanted and I could have saved some money but of all the...

Which LLBean jacket do you have? I have the Ultralight 850 with Resist Down and it is far from useless in the rain. I wore it all winter, snowshoeing, downhill skiing, and around town. In this...

I splurged and bought a Westcomb Ozone Hoody and then I noticed the outlet deal as well. I bought my wife an REI Venturi 45 for $71! I had never heard of the Venturi but it's 45L with mesh on...
