Camp Creek 4-Person

I can walk in and out without bending (5'7"). Easy to set up by one person if you don't get flustered. Easy up. Easily repacked. Door width and height. Don't have to step up way up and over the door jamb. I have not used this particular tent yet, but can't wait. I plan on miles with it this coming spring/summer/fall and will definitely confirm the usability and comfort of this tent. Full review

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

Mystique 2

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
