light precipitation. Super thin, semi-translucent high thread count
nylon keeps body heat inside and cold gusty winds out. So light and
compact that you will never think twice about tossing them in your
pack. Great when traveling internationally, moving through the
backcountry on multi-day backpacking excursions, or just for the
occasional Light & Fast peak ascent.

pocket for small items. The
fabric is 15-denier Ballistic Airlight polyamide ripstop nylon with
Polkatex DWR treatment. Stuffs

![]() Equinox Ultralite "Full Moon" ChapsChaps 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. ![]() Gatewood Cape/ShelterThe 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.
![]() Equinox Ultralite Terrapin Poncho/TarpServes double duty as both poncho
and shelter. It's cut large for coverage and versatility. Reinforced,
rust-resistant snaps form wrist openings and secure sides. Top cinches
closed and four corners have durable nylon loops for tie downs for
conversion to shelter. Made from tough 1.1 oz. silicone coated ripstop
nylon. 58" x 90". Just 7 oz. 7.2 oz. with stuff sack. Color: Varies ![]() Red Ledge Jacket and PantsWaterproof & Breathable,Both

Multiple washings will not damage the waterproof/breathable
characteristics.Backpacker magazine said "...Red Ledge's proprietary
TH4 waterproof/breathable coating shed all the weather I encountered,
including pounding wind and hail." "...the Thunderlight offers
waterproof/breathable rain protection at one-third the weight and
one-fourth the price of many high-end shell jackets and pants."We
couldn't have said it better. This is a great, feather light product at
a bargain price. Jacket: Unisex sizes M,L,XL Color: Green $49.95 No. 6409 Pant: Unisex sizes M, L, XL Color: Black $34.95 No. 6410
Terramar Micro-Silkweight ShirtsTerramar'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. ![]() RailRiders® Performance ShirtEnjoy total function and great
