Ok, all you gear junkies, once you read this review you're going to go out and buy one of these, so get ready to spend about $180. The Light and Motion SoLite 150 is the "killer app" of night illumination. 3M gave it the best "In-New-Vation-Award" for 2011.
In May 2011, Igloo introduced the new Glide Pro 110-Quart Wheeled Cooler. This cooler has improved leverage so it makes it 50 % easier to move a fully loaded cooler. National Outdoors was chosen to test out this new cooler, and we put it to the test in the desert of Southern Utah.
WOW! That's about all I could say once I turned on the Lupine Wilma. This is by far the brightness bike light I have ever seen. It's hard to say "bike light" because it can be used for so much more. The Lupine Wilma X is designed for extreme sports. It comes with a headband, so it can be worn like a traditional headlamp. The light can be dismounted quickly, so it's great for adventure racing.
The Marmot Sawtooth is a lightweight (3 lbs. 1 oz.) sleeping bag that provides heavy 600+ Fill insulation. The bag is rated to 15 degrees and the semi-rectangular shape provides plenty of wiggle room.

Here you can see the shape of the bag. It's more rectangular than it is a mummy bag. I have broad shoulders and I was able to roll over without taking the bag with me.
The REI Quarter Dome T1 is a sturdy, one man, three season tent. The tent itself weighs in at 2lbs. 13oz. When the guy lines and tighteners, stakes, pole repair tube, pole and stake bags and stuff sack are added in the total pack weight is 3 lbs. 6 oz. Sure it's not as light as a bivy sack or tarp, but if you're looking for adequate shelter from the elements with room to move around in, this is a great option.
The GoLite Mens Adventure 3-Season Mummy Bag is rated to 25 Degrees. This rating is achieved with 650+ renewable goose down. The bag weights 2 lbs. 9 oz. and is made from GoLite's Tier 1 Recycled Materials. I found this sleeping bag to be warm, comfortable and very durable; not to mention it's very eco-friendly.
The Timex Expedition E-Altimeter Watch combines a rugged style with an altimeter function. Unlike other digital altimeter watches, the E-Altimeter watch has an analog display. This lends to the classic styling that can be worn for any occasion.
The GoLite VarioSleeping Bag features two temperature ratings. One side of the bag is insulated for 25 degrees, the other side is rated for 40 degrees. This makes it an excellent bag for camping from spring to fall. The rectangular shape adds room for ample movement. You can also use this bag as a comforter, or zip it to another GoLite sleeping bag.
