Does anyone have any recommendations for waterproof pants? I’ll be travelling to South America soon and looking for something that will withstand rainy conditions.

Hi, anyone have opinions on a jacket I can wear over dress shirts, with dress pants, that isn't too bulky. Has a bit more thickness than say a North Face Nano, and is waterproof? Looking for something I can wear around 30 degrees and up, possibly something to throw on even during a cool summer day if it's chilly or raining. I have a dog and trying to find something not as bulky as my winter jacket, and is waterpoof. I was looking at the Helly Hansen crew 2.0

Looking at buying one of these two coats, but I am not sure which. I was leaning towards the one with the wool lining, as it looks super warm, but I am worried on two fronts. Will it to be warm when doing anything but sitting around, and will it be bad to have the wool been part of the coat if water gets in?

I am not a big time hiker, I usually just do 1 - 2 night camping/hiking trips with about 10 - 15 km walked a day depending on terrain.

Thinking it might be better to stick to a distinct layering system?

PS. I understand the downsides of waxed cotton

Hi all, I hope this is okay to post here. I've created a sub for people interested in renovating/refurbing/repairing paraffin pressure lamps and stoves, aka "fettling"

It's not just for those from the UK, but I thought it only fair to put down some kind of geographic location so people know!

Feel free to have a look and join in. I'd like it to be aimed more at the skills and techniques used, rather than buying/selling/valuations. I've added some posts about the lamps I'm currently working on.

Hope you find it interesting, and I'd love to know any feedback you have!

I’m a wildlife photographer. I frequently find myself hiking in remote meadows with heavy dew. Any advice on some pants? I’ve been using heavy canvas, but they immediately get wet. If it gets really nasty, I use goretex bibs.

• is windproof
• moisture resistant
• stretchy - flexible

That will work in conjunction with my mud layers to keep me warm. I hate being cold in the wind when I’m hiking or snow shoeing. I’m based in the US

Hi guys, I am currently woking on a university project about the demographics of different outdoor sports. It would mean the world to me if you would participate in this short survey I have created for this cause. It is completely anonymous, the information you provide will not be attributable to you personally. Thank you all and have a nice day!

Hi everybody, sorry to bother you all. I am working on a business project and I need survey responses from people who surf/anyone whose interested in surfing. If you could help circulate this link that'd be great! Thank you!

Hello! Any locals to Telluride / Montrose willing to rent me some camping chairs, a cooler, and two bikes in mid-June? Will pay!

I like trekking poles but I think they would work great as survival tools. I imagine add ons to trekking poles such as a camera mount for go pros or phones and an added fire starter for the hardcore hiker. Let me know what you all think!

Hello! I don't mean to take up much of your time! Currently, I am working on a business project with my team! We are sending out surveys over our product which is Wearable (Smart) Sunglasses! Our plan with these sunglasses are meant for fitness-oriented and outdoor enthusiasts (hiking or other outdoor training)! Some features I will briefly mention are monitoring heart rate, navigation, timer, speed, display weather alerts, and other features. Users can track their pace and follow their running, biking path, or trail with an integrated visual display within the lenses. The sunglasses will be compatible with other devices and its own app. So, if you are over 24 and enjoy doing fitness activities or being outdoors, we would appreciate you if you could take our survey! It would take less than 10 minutes! You must also be U.S. based! Thank you for your help!

Any folks have opinions or experience with Merrell mid-height hikers? I'm considering buying a pair of each of the Rogue Hiker Mid, the Nova 3 Mid and the MQM 3 Mid, to assess for my light hiking needs. I do 2-3 small mountains a year and my legacy Hi-Tec are long in the tooth.

Does anyone have any ideas for gear that can no longer be used but the materials might be useful? I don’t know if it needs to go into the landfill, but I can’t use it. Example- I have some tent poles with no tent. I would love to be able to just gift it to someone who could use the expensive materials rather than putting it in the landfill.

Looking for an affordable sleeping mat:

• summer use
• preferably 30” wide
• lightweight (for backpacking)
• sturdy (one month trip)
• comfortable for side sleepers
• under 150 bucks

Does something like this exist or do I just have to shell out 250 bucks for a thermarest or big Agnes 😭

I buying both but deciding which type to allocate more of the funds to. Put more on the softshell or more on the fleece.

I’m fine with suggestions but this post is less about which version/brand ,more of a which “type”

All things being equal, is it even possible to rationalize which item should be splurged on vs “budget” purchase? Is one more inherently valuable than the other?

Climate is New England which is generally cold. I spend lots of hours on my bike which in-part is the impetus for the purchase.

Other activities include dog walks, trail rides , etc .

Considering to buy a pop up gazebo in New Zealand? Any advice? what should i be aware of?

Hello, please help me. What is the difference between these two?

Hi there, I'm trying to find out about the new ePE membranes that are slowly replacing the Gore tex membranes. Has anyone tested it and can give their opinion on its performance? Your input is very much apreciated!

Hive Mind, please help! Torn between the Craghopper Caithness, Didrikson Bea or Ilma, Berghaus Rothley. I need it to be properly waterproof for walking a lot regardless of weather. Craghopper has great specs but not recommended much? Warmth not an issue as I can layer. Recommendations welcome! Thank you!

Hi all, looking for some descent cheap rain gear for work.

I do sanitation so I’m hopping on and off a garbage truck all day. I was looking at some Grunden bibs. I’m in the south so it’s about to start getting warm so prefer something non insulated for now. Will prob buy another set later for the cold.

Any suggestions?
