Golite Neve Jacket Review

Since we just started carrying Golite, I figured I should try it out. I first tried the Neve Jacket. It is a performance soft shell jacket. Golite claims it is as bomber as a storm shell with the benefits of a softshell. Initially I just wore it around town to see how it feels. The fleece liner is really comfortable and the jacket fits fairly nicely. The only problem I had with it was the high collar. When the jacket is zipped up the collar can be a little obtrusive due to being a little stiif. This eventually became better when the jacket was broken in.
The jacket is highly breatheable as I found out when I tested it out during some hiking in Europe. Germany in November is quite cold and wet. However the jacket held up against the elements extremely well. The rain and snow beaded up and it performed as well as any storm shell I’ve owned.
The jacket is well thought out and has many nice features. Pit zips for when it gets a little too hot as well as a MP3 player pocket on the inside. Overall the jacket is really nice. The initial fit isn’t great but once its broken in its great.

Campman.com now carries Nemo Tents

Here at the store we are excited to announce that we will now be carrying Nemo Tents. If you haven’t seen their tents they are pretty cool. Several of their models include air supported frames. Nemo has done away with the tent poles and placed air bladders in substitute. Now you don’t have to worry about breaking a pole and puncturing your tent in inclement weather.

Beyond the air supported tents they manufacture high quality backpacking tents. The Tenshi is an expedition quality tent that has earned awards from Climbing Magazine as well as Rock and Ice. Nemo has also come up with some ingenious accessories such as the paw print which is a washable floor cover that has sleeves for your sleeping pads. Not only does it keep them in place but can make a pair of single pads into one luxurious pad. Nemo also manufactures carbon fiber poles for some the models for those who like to shave every pound that they can.

The tent collection produced by Nemo is well thought out and has many features that make their tents highly functional as well as high quality.

Hennessy Expedition ASYM Hammock Review

We have been selling a lot of these hammocks lately so I decided to give one a try. Its an ultralight alternative to carrying a tent. They are extremely light. It is a must better alternative to a tent if the weather isn’t really nasty. I’ve read that it can stand up to just about anything but haven’t gotten to test it in inclement weather yet. It really interesting that you get into the hammock from the bottom. At first this seem like it could cause some problems but once your in the hammock just closes around you and it fastened shut with strips of hook and loop fastener.

The Expedition ASYM hammock has a rain fly and no see-um mesh to protect you from the elements and bugs. In additions it comes with the tree-hugger straps that allow it to be tree friendly. The straps help minimize tree wear. You can set it up it up in 2-3 minutes. It also sits up off the ground so you don’t need to worry about if it rains and the ground gets wet. You are safely suspended in the air.

Overall if you do your research you will find that the line of hammocks and accessories made by Hennessy are top quality and are a reasonably priced. The other hammock that I haven’t had time to test yet it the Explorer Model. It is built for a the larger backpacker. However I hear that it get just as many rave reviews. A Hennessy Hammock is on my list of things to bring on my next backpacking trip.

Symbiot Sportback Review

I blogged about this product briefly a couple of months ago. However at the time I really hadn’t had time to use it. It really is a cool pack. It applies the stress caused by weight in a more uniform manner. The Symbiot Sportback is great pack for running as well as just utility around town.

It may look funny and feel a bit weird at first, but you soon become accustom to it and hardly even notice its there after awhile. It fits quite securely to the body so you can even run without it bouncing around much. There are tons of pockets for all your gadgets and room for quite a bit of stuff in the back pocket.

Here is another review of the product from the Travel Gear Blog. So if you’re tired of back pains after wearing a pack try this new product.

Fire Season is here. Coaxsher packs a hot commodity

Low snowpacks have left a lot of the west with severely dry conditions. Here in Utah we have had the largest fire in the history of the state. We have had a huge influx of help from forest firefighters from all over the country to help keep the entire state from going up in flames. Thanks guys.

Here at Campman.com we pride ourselves on carrying great gear. The search and rescue packs from Coaxsher are the best in the business. They recently have been flying off the shelves. I am all about being prepared when out in the woods, but when fighting fires its even more important. So here is a little plug/review for them. All of the products are almost bombproof and come with a 100% satisfaction warranty.

The Scout is the most basic model that will carry your communication and navigational gadgets on your chest so as to have quick easy access.

The RCP-1 Pro is one step up from the Scout. It has a couple of more pockets in case you need to carry some extra gear.

Lastly the FS-1 Ranger is a backpack system that will carry everything you need. It is modular and you can taylor it to your needs for the day.

All of them are made with the highest quality materials so as to last through the most tenuous of situations. If you are a forest firefighter, ski patroler, search & rescue, firefighter or anyone else who needs a high quality modular chestpack or backpack then pick up a Coaxsher pack. You won’t be disappointed.

Don’t Bug Me Patch – A great way to protect your kids in the outdoors

I saw the Don’t Bug Me Patches a couple of months ago and was very curious about them. I decided to give them a try and see if they really worked. Every year I go up to Island Park, ID ,right outside of Yellowstone National Park, during the end of June. There are always lots of mosquitoes around in the evenings.

So I thought this would be a perfect way to test the patches. I even convinced my sister to put in on my nephew (2 years old). Well this is the first year I have walked away without a bite. Also as soon as my nephew put one on he long longer was being bitten either. I couldn’t believe it. The downsides to the patches is when I purchased them, they did initially smell like a medicine cabinet. However I the box air out a bit and the smell disappeared. Also you have to put them on two hours before they will take effect. Anyways I’m totally sold on these things. If you put them on ahead of time they are fantastic.
