PreCip Jacket

For its money the best lightweight jacket I have had. Beat the OMM Kamleika one (3x the price) hands down. Just needs a better hood visor. So when I got my OMM Kamleika Jacket in 2013 I was really buzzing as it was seen as the ultra runner's dream. Turned out to be the worst thing I bought since breathable jackets were conceived. Its tiny pack space (one saving feature) was its undoing. It fell out of a side pouch one day. Aside from the ripoff price I did not miss it, especially when I found… Full review

Phase 30

Ultralight, warm, comfortable, tiny pack size, amazing value for money. Everything a sleeping bag should be! EN Rating Lower comfort limit: 30.0°F / -1°C EN Rating Extreme limit: 5.4°F / -14.8°C I am a ultralight "gram counter" when it comes to camping gear and I wasn't happy with my old sleeping bag, which weighed under 800 grams but only had a 8°C (47°F) comfort rating. Then I discovered the Marmot Phase 30, which was a lot warmer (-1°C / 30°F) comfort rating, but more importantly, was… Full review

Starlight 2P

The two-person is a nice tent with lots of screen area for ventilation and visibility to outside. Four stakes (use Groundhog model and not those provided) and two hoops to set up and you are good to go! Rainfly is an issue, even with thorough drying after use, the coating has become sticky and tacky and cannot be replaced or repaired. Marmot will provide me with a discount coupon and accept the tent as a return. I do like the designs; if I use the tent in dry weather, I can live with a defective… Full review

Twilight 3P

It is an amazing tent that lasts, and lasts, and lasts. We have been using this tent for 10+ years now, and still are hesitant to get a new one. This Marmot hosts us with ultimate confidence even in very harsh conditions, where I have seen more expensive tents around leaking (and cheap ones half-filled with water and/or flown away entirely). We were always warm and dry. What else would you ask from a tent? Setup is extremely fast and easy, with no ugly fitting of poles into soft holes, which I see… Full review

Limelight 3P

2013 Version. Excellent straightforward design and quite decent ventilation despite no vents in rainfly (the design relies on high skirts of rainfly for ventilation and zero obstructions for air flow in resultant plenum). I am an older guy and re-entering camping and tents and found the setup went very well. Experienced tent users put this up in ten or less minutes. Takes me thirty, oh well, age... :) Also the fact I'm not experienced. I recommend practicing on all tents, and I have practiced with… Full review
