SD LIVE event tomorrow: Layering strategies…..

I wish the discount applied to Canadians. ; )

Dave:

Good news! While we are not able to fulfill web orders in Canada, we have figured out a way to provide the "thank-you discount" in Canada for this and future LIVE events. Canadians (and all international customers) will need to place their orders by phone, providing the code to the agent. You will be responsible for shipping and applicable import taxes.

Excellent.

While I will not be able to attend, I look forward to hearing what you guys have to say!

If you miss the event, the video will be available on our blog a couple of days after……

First the war on vestibules, and now this!?!?

;)

Cool event. Nice to see you guys doing stuff like this.

"Hot Zone". It was like it was out of Seinfeld.

Those chaps look great – and the weight is ideal. 11 oz for the top and bottom is very good.

Moved to Gear Deals as it is definitely commercial.
No problems with the idea though. Interesting.

The 30% off code was SDLIVE3 until tomorrow midnight.

I am already using an OR Echo baselayer, an R2, A Westcomb Crest Hoody and poncho/tarp so I already breathing well.

A couple of interesting ideas here, I thought — particularly

1) The way a backpack's hipbelt is covered by the new rain jacket. For those who like to keep their camera in their hipbelt pocket, no more worrying about it getting wet! Nice thinking there.

2) The dual-purpose intent behind the stow pocket on the down jacket (turns it into a pillow). Again, good thought process behind that.

Most BPL'ers already use their wind shirts extensively, so that part of the video is not new for us, but for the "average" hiker who has never tried a wind shirt, it could be a revelation.

I like a lot of SD's ideas…my only problem with the products is that they tend to run a bit on the heavier side (new rain suit excepted). Sometimes it may be worth the extra weight to me; sometimes not.
