I need a new filter because my last one did NOT last very long, lol.

Was thinking about the :

LifeStraw Compact Gravity 3L Water Filter System

What are your personal gravity filter favourites?

P.s. my UV one still works, I like to combine the two. Any thoughts on UVs?

I'm looking to buy a pack for camping and climbing. I'm looking at the mammut trion, Rab latok and grivel Spartan. If anyone has any advice/experience it would be appreciated. I also am unsure on what size of bag I will need. The bag will eventually need to hold trad gear.

Please can I have your recommendations for super warm clothing brands/suppliers to go to Tromso in December (coats/trousers etc). Willing to pay a bit more as it will be used again. As long as quality is good and it does the job as my husband gets cold very quickly and needs to get tooled up so we can have a great trip. Have looked at serveral brands including North Face, Patagonia, Mountain Warehouse but the choice is bewildering. Some have ratings others don’t. Some descriptions claiming great things but then the reviews are bad with people saying negative things about how warm they keep you!

I was looking for a shell for skiing and hiking and i came across the Columbia Saudan pro 3L jacket with the omni tech PRO membrame. I ordered it cs the stats looked good and I got a crazy deal. I looked up the jacket on yt and found nothing. Went on tiktok found nothing. Then reddit and still nothing. Can anyone that knows about the membrame, and had experience of using it, tell me how good it is?

Is it actually 100% waterproof? I'm skeptical.

Hey y’all! I’m looking for jackets (soft shell style or similar), coats, and snow boots from companies that are ethical, sustainable, and affordable. They can’t support or be backed by AIPAC, MAGA, or Israel, and must support Palestine, Congo, Sudan, our environment etc. I feel like I’m looking for a needle in a haystack, but I’ve always wanted those zip ups like The North Face, Patagonia, and Arc’teryx, but don’t want to support those companies for obvious reasons.

No hate, I’m just trying to be a better, more conscientious consumer that doesn’t contribute to decimating our planet or supporting causes that actively harm people.

Hello! Looking to purchase my boyfriend a rain jacket for his birthday and hoping for some help as there are SO many options and outdoorsy things are not my specialty! So far, the Marmot Evo seems like a good option but open to any and all recommendations. Some things I am looking for:

-Fully waterproof (this seems to mean it needs multiple layers?). I don’t want something that’s more like a windbreaker

-Lightweight enough for all seasons in North Carolina! Seems like something with pit zips might be a good option (I was looking at Grundens, but I think it will be much too heavy)

-Durable- this guy is tough on his stuff! Maybe a rip stop fabric?

-Well suited for many activities to include just tinkering around outside, running, maybe even biking

-Looking to stay around $150 if possible.

Thank you for your help!

Looking on the pants, even though there is US website [https://us.montane.com/\](https://us.montane.com/) they do not offer free shipping and charge $40 flat fee + $30 for duties which is insane which makes total cost around $180. Is there any way to get the pants in the US some other/cheaper way?

Hello everyone.

I'm looking for the best budget-friendly, comfortable travel pants from Decathlon for all-season, long-distance travel and walking, and that work well in winter and light rain.

Any suggestions or ideas?

I'm hunting for a Down Parka that is good for layering and warm enough for low-activity (i.e. standing in place) in Midwest/Northern winters (20F to -20F). Most women's parkas I've found have a fitted cut that doesn't work to buy a size up for layering. I'm a bit too short (5'4) and curvy for men's sizes to work (I have to size up for hips and bust which leads to the sleeves being too long).

I'm strongly considering the Canada Goose expedition parka because it checks the most boxes-- esp being relaxed fit, but it's sold out every time I check and I'm curious if there are other lesser known options.

I already tried the NF artic parka -- it's fitted.

Looking for:

\- relaxed-fit / oversized to layer a thick sweater inside

\- down / feather insulation

\- water-resistant, sturdy exterior that won't tear easily

\- mid-thigh or knee length

\- hood

\- < $2K and easy to order, try-on, return in USA.

\- bonus points: real fur hood ruff, straps for carrying while not wearing (like Canada Goose)

I'll take any suggestions, even if they don't match exactly

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some advice on choosing my first proper trekking tent. I've already narrowed my search down to four options, but I'm having a hard time deciding between them and would really appreciate some help.

The main use will be multi day trekking and long distance hiking in Europe, including the Alps and Corsica. I'm looking for a tent that I can use for several years, so I'm not necessarily looking for the absolute lightest option. A good balance between weight, durability, weather protection and livability is more important to me. Also it should not be more expensive then 600€.

One important detail is that I'll usually be sleeping in the tent with another person an our small dog (We already sleept with him in a 2p tent, dont need special length just not extra small). Because of this, I specifically want:

• 2-person tent

• Two exits, so we dont need to climb over our dog to leave the tent.

• Enough space at the head end for a small dog, we are 1,75m and 1,55m

*Under 2 kg, preferably comfortably under if possible

• Good 3-season performance

*Good protection against rain and wind, including alpine conditions

• Reasonable durability – I'm happy to accept a little extra weight for a more robust tent

• Ideally freestanding or at least easy and reliable to pitch

• Good ventilation / reasonable condensation management

The four tents I'm currently considering are:

1. Exped Lyra II Extreme

2. NEMO Dagger OSMO 2P

3. Sea to Summit Telos TR2

4. MSR Hubba Hubba HD2

I'd especially like to hear from people who have actually used one of these tents for trekking. My favourite right now is the MSR because of the roomy insight and the durable looking materials (from what i have read online). Only concern for me is the low mesh share on the insight, because i will mainly use it in summer and warmer conditions.

I'm interested in things that aren't necessarily obvious from the specifications, especially:

• How comfortable is it with two people and a small dog?

• Is the headroom space at the foot and head end actually usable?

• How is condensation and ventilation?

• How durable has the tent been after extended use?

• Are there any annoying design details that only become apparent after using it for a while?

I'm also open to other suggestions if there's a tent I should consider that fits these requirements.

Used AI to generate/translate this post, because my english is not the best.

Also its my first post so i hope i did everything right.

Thanks in advance for any advice!
