Zephyr 2

GREAT tent if under 100 USD. Recommended, but warning if you plan to use in heavy rain. UPDATE AFTER HAVING USED IT ON 4 TRIPS: The tent has been used for backpacking and car camping in four occasions; it has been used a total of 13 nights outdoors. Two occasions were hot weather (80's F) and two in cold, windy and rainy weather (around 30's F). It's still in perfect shape. I do use a polycro ground sheet and am very careful handling everything except for zippers which are doing great regardless. Full review

Awesome, lightweight tent. Loved it during my backpack hiking to Humboldt Peak, Colorado. Full review

Ultra-Light Air Pad

This pad can get you down to high teens with its R-value rated at 3.6 (I only used it in about low 20s). It's not the most packable pad but can be handled. I have not had any problems with durability and seems like it will last. This pad and its price is a great budget option for those that aren't concerned about packability and just want to keep off the ground. The Alps Mountaineering Ultra-Light Air Pad self-inflating sleeping pad (say that five times fast) is a great budget option for those who… Full review

Nimbus Jacket

The ALPS Mountaineering Nimbus is a rain jacket that I’ve found to be waterproof and also very breathable. It’s cut a little large for layering. Disclosure: I enrolled in the ALPS Mountaineering product review program, bought the jacket at MSRP, and received a 40% off MSRP rebate for my first review with a further 20% off MSRP for my second, for a total of 60% off MSRP. I bought my ALPS Mountaineering Nimbus Jacket a couple years ago mainly to wear while deicing aircraft. The price was right… Full review

Cascade 4200

I loved this pack from the start. It is several years old now, but I've only used it 5 or 6 times for weekend trips. I have noticed the material beginning to come apart where the stitching is. This is taking place at nearly all stress points. Very disappointed with the build materials of this pack!!!! I would give it a 5 except for it falling apart. I would upload a photo if I had that option. Full review
