mont-bell Versalite Dry Light Tec™ Jacket & Pants

To use a mont-bell product is to experience first hand the Japanese concept of kinoubi -- function is beauty. For over 25 years mont-bell has created some of the most functional and beautiful outdoor products anywhere in the world, products you'll love to use year after year. The Versalite jacket and pants are ultralight, waterproof, and breathable. The jacket is only 10.6 oz. (with stuff sack) and the pants are just 7.1 oz. The 30-denier Dry Light Tec fabric lining feels dry to the touch. They're completely seam taped. Even the zippers are water resistant so there's no need for storm flaps. The jacket has two large front pockets with zippers and drain holes. Underarm zippers offer venting. A one-handed elastic draw cord for bottom hem is hidden in pockets. The 3-piece hood adjusts your peripheral vision with an elastic cord. A velcro tab adjusts the height. Elasticized cuffs have velcro adjustment. Pants have 12-inch zipper for easy on/off, elasticized waistband with draw cord, draw cord on ankles, and a zippered fly with snap. Stuff sacks included.
Backpacker magazine said, "At 1 pound, this suit is simply the lightest full-featured rainwear we’ve used. Both garments are made from Dry Light Tec, mont-bell’s proprietary waterproof/breathable fabric. Even in humid conditions, the slightly textured inner face felt only the slightest bit clammy. The jacket packs a full complement of features into 10 ounces: pit zips, hook-and-loop cuff closures and a hem drawcord, water-resistant zippers, and two zippered hand pockets. The 7.1-ounce pants are similarly streamlined but functional, boasting a comfortable waistband with elastic and drawcord; zippered fly; and 12-inch ankle zips."
Jacket is Navy/blue, pants black. Medium, large, XL

Rainshield Rainwear

Rainshield Rainwear - Just 9 1/2 oz.!

This innovative technology allows your body to breathe while repelling moisture, keeping you cooler and completey dry. It's ideal for light duty and casual use -- not recommended for off trail use. Fabric is not as strong as nylon. It's a no-frills rain suit -- it doesn't even have pockets, but waterproof, very light, very breathable, and very inexpensive. Machine washable.

Equinox Ultralite "Full Moon" Chaps

Chaps always made sense because of their simple design. They are made of super light and tough 1.1 oz. silicone-coated ripstop nylon. Since most of the heat and sweat you generate comes from the midsection, that part is left open. Your jacket overlaps the chaps. Adjust for your height with four options. Drawcord at ankles. Open in back and front, show 'em your "full moon." Just 3.1 oz. Mesh stuff sack is .2 oz. Colors: Royal Blue or Black.
$29.95 No. 6050

Gatewood Cape/Shelter

The Gatewood Cape is designed to provide full protection when worn as a cape or used as a shelter. Unlike ponchos, capes don't have long slits along the sides. While the poncho may allow for more ventilation, it won't keep out wind blown rain. Dual zipper pulls on the front of the Gatewood Cape allow you to regulate ventilation while still providing full protection. And the open-skirted design allows fresh air to enter the bottom. The cape is made with high strength 30 denier silicone-coated nylon.
As a shelter, the Gatewood Cape gives you significantly more protection than a poncho/tarp. Its design easily sheds rain or snow, and wind simply flows around it. Any sudden change in wind direction won't leave you scrambling to re-orient your shelter or force you deeper into your bivy. The center pole support allows the shelter to handle wind and snow loads. If you don't use hiking poles, you can add an optional 1.8 oz. carbon fiber tent pole.
A poncho's shape leaves one or more sides exposed to the elements, but the Gatewood Cape is a shaped tarp and eliminates all exposed sides, keeping you safe and secure. And shaped tarps are much easier to consistently pitch correctly. Setup is extremely easy and the center pole with 6 stakes anchors the shelter rock solid to the ground. The taut setup eliminates flapping from wind that is common with loosely-pitched tarps.
With 35 square feet of coverage, there's plenty of room for you and your gear. You have a handy stash pocket for small itmes that doubles as the stuff sack. You can adjust the vestibule to different heights in different conditions to increase ventilation. A long zipper on the vestibule makes opening and closing the shelter a snap. For the adventuresome day hiker, the Gatewood Cape makes the perfect addition to your 10 essentials survival kit. It packs incredibly small at only 8" x 10" x 1.5" and provides piece of mind knowing you've got great protection. Stakes not included.
Weighs just 11oz. Color: Gray.

Terramar Micro-Silkweight Shirts

Terramar's micro-silkweight with EC2 and Qwik-Dri helps pull your body moisture away and release it when it's hot, keeping you cool and dry when you're active. In cooler tempertures, both help to retain heat, keeping your body dry and comfortable. The process is electrostatic and is not dependent on wicking. Outside Magazine said, "...the fabric carries a mild negative charge that pulls positively-charged water molecules off your skin. Shocking, but effective: The Body-Sensors remained dry even when our tester zipped up to force overheating." Microfiber polyesters are finer than a strand of natural silk. They make a super light, strong, and soft fabric. A short-sleeve medium is only 4.4 oz. A long-sleeve medium is only 4.9 oz. Machine Wash. Med., large, XL.
