What’s on your (UL) wish list?

[Jeroen Wesselman]

Just anxious to know what you all are wishing for….
My wish list seems to change or evolve every time. When i think i have it all i stumble on something i 'need to have'

In no particular order;

1. Six Moon Design Gatewood Cape : the ultimate poncho tarp ?
2. Nunatak Arc Specialist : i am very fascinated by the quilt concept, for a very long upcoming trip i would love to have this one as part of a super versatile 3 season sleep system. I am saving up!
3. La Sportiva Trango S EVO GTX: this very long upcoming trip will include a lot (I hope) of (UL) mountaineering trips. After using heavy plastics for over a decade this would be the ultimate upgrade (downgrade in weight, more than 50% lighter than my plastics)

Of course there is (some) more but these three are the ones i would like the most…oh if i had the money…

So, what's on yours?

[Michael Fogarty]

1) Nunatak Arc Specialist with 1oz overfill and sized to 6ft
2) Titanium Goat DWR top bivy

The other 3 items that were on my wish list are or should be getting close to being under production? A MLD Zip pack, Grace Solo Spinntex tarp and bug Bivy.

Materials for my own poncho tarp.
Same thing, except for a bivy.
ULA Conduit. I've always like the look of it. Not sure exactly what I would use it for since I don't end up doing many long trips but since its a wish list I'll put it on here.
Bushbuddy. There's lots of wood around here…
A hiking partner that can keep up or at least not slow me down much. Maybe an attractive one while I'm at it. (Ok, so its not gear, but still…)

I seem to have acquired most everything that used to be on my wish list; GG Whisper (in the mail), down quilt, GG Nightlight Torso, windshirt, spinnaker tarp, etc.

A Cuben 'Mid—-but I gotta convince MLD, Oware or GG to make one and I gotta start saving my pennies.

– 40 Below TR overboots with Simple Slipper (not putting the trail runners away this winter :) )

– A headlamp version of the Fenix LOD CE or at least a better way to attach it to my pack or baseball hat.

– A version of the Ibex Nelson with a balaclava style hood and thumb holes (or any wool hoody in 17 micron or less)

– Last but by no means least, a pair of BMW Featherlite mitts, but I hear they will be back in stock come Fall.

Black Diamond Mega Lite

[Mike Barney]

A 16 oz 2 man version of Glen V P's 11 oz Cuben tent;)

[Aaron Sorensen]

I've always wanted someone to make a lite-weight running pack.
Something heavily padded with enough strength.

Throw in some good suspension and make it about 1800 ci and it should come in around 7-9 ounces.

There is nothing out there even close to that.
