I have had this tent for going on 5 years now. It has serve me well during extended backpack trips and mountaineering/climbing adventures.

The zippers at the dual entrances are very durable, as with the stitching and overall construction of the tent.

I have also found that it hold heat in fairly well, on those cold nights, while breathing fairly well as to not induce large amounts of condensation raining in on it occupants.

I do wish that the tent did not weight 6 pounds as that greatly adds to the in-ability to add essential gear for distant solo expeditions.

Overall this is a solid tent.

Just bought a couple of these when in the Valley. Needed to hook some gear into my packs webbing and was looking for a light biner.

My buddy Jason has these on his whole rack and on his slings, he swears by them. As for me, these are about as light as they come and are very durable. I'm glad to have added a couple of these to a burgeoning rack of gear.

I have now had this filter for almost 7 years. This is the same filter that I use to use in the Marine Corps during the early 90's.

I like the ease of uses in comparison to other filters. It is very ergonomical in action, which enables me to enjoy pumping several gallons of water at a time when needed.

There are other filters that can pump a higher volume of water and filter out more stuff. However for the size and weight - this is the filter for me.

I had troubles with it this last year when doing a desert trip, where I pumped from a tenjane that had a lot of allege. Plug up after two nalgene bottles. However I solved the problm with a pre-silt filter made by Sweetwater and a new cartiage. Worked like a champ again this last trip in Yosemite's Lyell canyon.

I like the fact that I've been able to save weight while have gear that I can eat with and now worry about breaking eating something tough like steak with.

It allows me to be able to afford a few of the ceature comforts of home or throw that must have piece of gear in.

Geat gear. I've been known to also give it as a stocking stuffers @ xmas to backpacking members of the extended family. Thats how well I like this product.

I love this product!!!! What more can I say. I finally have something that is large enought to actually cook a meal in for more than myself and doen's feel like I'm hauling my entire kitchen cabinet with me.

I also love the fact that it is nonstick. So while cooking is great clean up is a bit easier. Just remeber that you better not use any sand to help scrub the pot's of inside.

I have enjoyed these quit a bit over the last three years that I've had them.
