frkino on Macpac Standard Serac 1000 Down Sleeping Bag (-17°C) $659.99 Delivered / C&C/ In-Store @ Macpac

Yeah I noticed the price of high end down has gone through the roof lately (even compared to everything else going through the roof). I…

Fredorishi on The North Face 1996 Retro Nuptse Puffer Jacket A$366.16 (Was A$610, Sizes S to XXL) Delivered @ Mainline Menswear

Not sure why you got negged either, seemed like a normal question to me. If not climbing mountains, you can get away with one of the…

In terms of specs, for eg this (but lots of other ones, this was just first link for first jacket that came to mind):…

The specs of this jacket are pretty bad. Heavy, not THAT warm, 700 down. Can get better down in better outer material for same price and…

Sandaz on Sea to Summit Quagmire eVent Gaiters XL Size (Traditional Style) $30 (was $119.99) + $9.94 Postage ($0 with $101.73+) @ Offtrack

If it was me I'd get something explicitly designed to be snake bite proof for what you describe.

Some of the other sale stuff also worth a look, eg ultra-sil dry bag is great, as is the S2S mug albeit a bit heavy

Nice re FlexTail, might get one for lazier trips. The schnozzle thing is not so nice to use. I was also looking at the Exped 5R when buying…

superuser on Macpac Prophet Rain Jackets $324.99 Delivered (Free Membership Required, RRP $649.99) @ Macpac

I guess depends on your definition. Even the most hardcore membrane jackets get wet eventually. But it's on the upper end of waterproofing,…

Is it stamped or forged? I am finding conflicting info online

agalea101 on [Prime] Garmin Fenix 6 Pro Smartwatch $474.05 Delivered @ Amazon AU

It's also worth thinking about what features you're interested in. Many of the ones on the Garmin watches work great, but some not so much,…

They're an odd size for me. I have a narrow foot, but for some reason the toe fits perfect but my heel lifts out. I spent like 30 min in a…

Waterproof membranes are rubbish for draining water once they get wet. You either get non-waterproof and aim for quicker drying or try…

juph0rry on Supersonic 3-Layer Rain Jacket (Factory Seconds) - $259 Delivered @ Mont

I'm afraid I don't know my stuff enough to answer that one. Lots of forum discussions on Neoshell on hiking forums, but I remain ignorant :(

ColdFusion on Supersonic 3-Layer Rain Jacket (Factory Seconds) - $259 Delivered @ Mont

It means it's new, but your perspiration, body oils etc. may cause stains over time as you wear it, which is why they've reduced it.

Telios on Supersonic 3-Layer Rain Jacket (Factory Seconds) - $259 Delivered @ Mont

The Gore-Tex patent expired in 1997, which is why the market is now flooded with lots of different shell fabrics. While it's hard to get…
