BPL brand gear

I wonder if this thread should become, a collection of photographs of the BPL branded gear that sits in our closets. So I will start with a BPL pot (not for sale)

BPL stopped making gear several years ago.  Its a shame too as I have a few of their pieces that I really like and still use:

BPL Firelite 550 Cookpot

BPL Cocoon UL Hoody

BPL Cocoon PL90 Quilt

BPL Cocoon PL90 Balaclava

BPL Merino Bottoms

Some of their products now have replacements in the market made by others, but a few still don’t have direct replacements.

That is exactly what I was looking for and sorry it no longer exists.

You are lucky to have that great gear Brad and still get use out of those items.

Roger nice pot.A bpl 550.

I think these were the BPL Gear Shop’s greatest hits:

Stix trekking poles

Cocoon synthetic clothing and quilts

Thorofare shirts and pants

115 weight merino pieces

Absoroka backpack

All the little widgets and cordage

I think these were the BPL Gear Shop’s greatest hits:

Stix trekking poles – Good Replacements are Black Diamond Z Ultra Distance, or Locus Gear CP3

Cocoon synthetic clothing and quilts – Synthetic Quilts EE or MLD.  I am not sure there is perfect replacement for the Cocoon clothing.

Thorofare shirts and pants – Ex Officio Minimus Shirt is pretty close.  I haven’t found a pants replacement.

115 weight merino pieces – I am not sure there is a great replacement.  Patagonia Merino 1 seems to be the closest. 

Absoroka backpack – Lots of great backpacks

All the little widgets and cordage – Zpacks has a great selection

I mourned for a long time when I lost my BPL merino beanie at an airport.  It was the perfect fit for me.
