I just found out I'm scheduled to close the store the 23rd. I'll be there until about 9:30. If the party will still be raging (or at least still on) around then I'll still come by. |

I tend to roll with the bag (or the bag tends to roll with me) so the BA bag wasn't an option. I can just see me rolling over, all my insulation under me and my pad to the stars... They are lightweigh ... |

Not to be a nay-sayer but the Sahara's have zipper issues. I have five pairs and three of them have bunk zippers. I've also seen a lot of them returned for the same reason. |

Those Gerber Flashlanters are sub-par in quality, I've seen more than I can count returned because they break. You'd have seen them in the garage sales but REI has an agreement with Gerber that they w ... |

Well, my bill says COX highspeed but I'm thinking that my squares must not be moving as fast as your squares. That or I finally found my niche; avoiding blue shapes... |

Most all of the functions are the same from brand to brand. They do have to be set, re-set, and then re-set again quite a bit (especially the electronic compass models). I've found that the altimiter ... |

The tempe store has carried the Leki tips for quite some time, but in the last year the sales have declined sharply. A lot of people are going to BD or Komperdell poles, so the assortment has been low ... |

I've also got to give kudos to their Hydromedary line. I kept getting small leaks in my camelbaks (I blame me and my propensity to abuse gear), but since I got the MSR bladder, I haven't had a single ... |

I have the Geko 301 and I think it's the best unit for backpacking that you could get. It's lightweight and has all the features you need to assist with navigation (but none of the extra useless stuff ... |
