Accidently forgot to put on my wool sock over the polypro liner one day, and never even noticed untill I took the boot off later that day. Bomber construction, and super warm.

I love all the features of my Vista. One of the downsides is sometimes it is hard to get a signal below treeline, however, I have heard alot of the same for other models of GPS as well. All around great tool. Just don't forget the map, compass, and extra batteries.

While pretty expensive, the Soliras is designed for a pretty specific use, and outside that, it is too much lamp for most. I am on a search and rescue team, so the Soliras's super bright search light bulb was is a major plus. Also, due to the cold temps that I encounter, the Lith-Ion battery works wonders. Most definitly not an all around light, but great at what it was designed for.
