today had the chance to try the Montura in Active, and it is light and packs supersmall (really impressive). So I am still not sure this can be really compared to the Pro with 40D, it seems more that...

to be honest i cannot find so many brands using the Active. Just Montura and Salewa.



does the Pro40 really packs down as the Active?

Hi all
I own the Arct Gamma LT and the Black Diamond Alpine Start Hoody. I carry either one or the other, and if I have to carry the hardshell (expected rain/snow), then I do not carry the Gamma,...

May I ask why you are replacing it? What are the functions that you are missing? Sorry if silly questions, but I never used any of these watches.

Are the skitouring functions installed by default or you need to install those? Are those exactly like for the Instinct which seems more towards mountaineering?

Which Garmin model did you use? Besides the battery life, how does it compare for skitouring and running?
I am asking simply because everyone speak about the Garmin

Could you please clarify what is the gear tracking?

I was considering that indeed then I read all reviews and complains about software too sluggish and slow


Sent from my iPhone using TGR Forums

any function skitouring specific?

is the forerunner also good for skitouring? has it the skitouring function? or can it be installed on every Garmin? thanks

Thank you very much. The instinct comes up often. However I thought it is an old model now, so it might be lacking battery efficiency, software clarity and usability, etc.
Is that a silly concern? ...

Thanks
I want to save money so I am considering second hand. And looking at "Suunto 9 Peak" or "Garmin Fenix 5".
There is a lot of material around these watches and definitely more than what I am...

I use the Jones 32l backpack, and learned that both the Ortovox and BD are lighter, even though few hundreds grams.
I would guess the heaviest stuff is the avalanche set, so probably one could...

looking for something which:
1- helps my life rather than sucking time from it: so it has to be simple or I am not interested.
2- measures my heart rate without a band around my chest while...

orthotics will never help to recover, they simply provide support to what "is falling aside". I use Superfeet insoles, the Orange in the snowboard boots, and the half insole in my dress shoes.

Thank you every.
Quick question: when you workout, do you use (or would you suggest to use) the knee brace or not?

thank you as well, however my original question was slightly different.
my gloves are NOT 100% leather. Leather is just in the palm, so less than 50% of the whole glove. And my question is how to...

He meant washing machine, dryer not so common here and we explicitly spoke about water and temperature

would you put your leather/goretex or leather/softshell gloves in the washing machine? yesterday at the store the guy suggested to put the gloves in the washing machine and then treat the leather...

I was diagnosed with runner's knee (i.e. the patella doesn't track properly), as i felt a pain while comind down the stairs. And the day after split touring I usually had massive pain. Luckily enough...

Ski Trees, thank you. To answer about the Gamma: I bought it after reading here great things about softshells/windshells and the most rated are the Gamma, the BD Alpine Start, the OR Ferrosi. And to...

i read here and there that everyone loves the active insulation pieces like the Nano Air/proton LT/etc, but also the light puff (micro, etc).
I have the Proton but do not have a micro puff, while i...

Thank you everyone.

hi everyone.
Trying to buy the old classic Patagonia R1 full-zip, however it seems not available anywhere, so tried to focus on the fabric (Polartec Powergrid) rather than the specific model/brand....

wow, never heard this brand.
However everything looks too warm for Italy where I am

So at the end I think I'll try and am now thorn between these two which seem similar in therms of construction

wonder how is the smell factor after 30y??

also, which is approximately the wool weight corresponding to midweight Capilene? 180? 220?

have always been using the zip-neck Capilene mid-weight (NOT the thermal weight). Due to the unbearable stink i was about to try something else, then i was gifted with the new Capilene with some...

hi everyone. Have already 22, 32, 40l backpack.
Now I'd need something smaller to be used during very hot weekends (30 celsius degree and above) for daily hiking, where i would carry the essentials...

Found this old thread searching for Polartec Alpha. How Alpha compares to the old classic Pagatonia R1? Do you think could be similar to it? I have been pointed out to Mountain Equipment ECLIPSE (in...

Looking at your list, it doesnt look much different from my stuff. Where do you see the...

i understand this is the web and everyone is patronising and condescending... thanks for the very useful tip.

would you suggest a wireless powerbank to save some weight?

sorry, you are right, I forgot to add: we are going to sleep into a "refuge", a structured shelter, where they provide dinner, bathroom, breakfast, bed, water, blankets. We have been told to bring...

What should I...

Thanks everyone. My point was more space saving than keeping it dry. The Macro doesn't compress into its own pocket and has a separate bag that is not the smallest. The compression pack I got is...

My split falls in between two sizes of the size chart provided by the skins manufacturer. Better, it is included in both ranges.

Would you suggest the smaller or longer size? What would be the...

looking to get a SeaToSummit compression sack for my Pat MacroPuff M size.
I see the sack comes with different size, how do i know in advance which is the right one?
thanks in advance

gave a look to several online instructions, and all the examples are with full leather gloves. My gloves have just the palm in leather, the rest is either softshell or goretex/other membrane. What's...

thank you. Now it makes sense, if everything else is loosely mounted. On their website they say "Increase or decrease tension in the UltraClip with the turn of a screw." so i stupidly thought that it...

thanks. I guessed it is so, but i do not see it could happen in practice, since the set screw
moves against another screw that is attached to the board

according to this sentence it is silly to use leather on the palm of gloves? or am i misreading it?

on a different note: i never treated my gloves with leather wax, but wondering if doing so will...

how do you store them "separated"?
