Product Rating:

Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters

Features:

Tough as a crocodile, Outdoor Research Crocodile Gaiters keep snow out of your boots when snowshoeing, climbing mountains, cross-country skiing, or just plain snow hiking. They feature waterproof and breathable Gore-Tex®/Taslan® nylon uppers and Cordura® lowers for durability. The Crocodile gaiters seal around your legs with a full length strip of 2 inch hook and loop closure. The tops cinch tight with 3/4 inch webbing and cam buckle. These gaiters also feature hook and loop shear tab at the bottom of front closure, double-riveted boot lace hook, and field-replaceable urethane-coated nylon instep strap.

Marmot Plasma 30 Sleeping Bag Review

Marmot Plasma 30 Sleeping Bag

Features:

This bag is panned by Marmot as the culmination of their R&D prowess, and the Plasma line is currently their crème de la crème of their ultralight down bags. The main points they tout are super lightweight fabrics used, high fill power down, and a vertical baffling system called Flow Gate Construction.
