There's an extra underscore in the link above. This should work.

Winter ISPO 2011: Day 2 – Powered by Nutella

Damn you Danny! Just when I thought I had all the gear I wanted…….

Thanks a lot!

Dan – We were impressed by the Bitterroot parka. Golite did say that they wanted to make what they thought was the best jacket out there regardless of price point. They didn't feel that any extra down would make the jacket noticeably warmer, for instance. But, using Quantum GL on the inside and outside makes the jacket lighter. I believe the Rab Infinity only uses Quantum GL on the outside.

Wolfgang – Thanks for the comparison between WM and Yeti bags. It is great to hear about the real-world experiences. Yeti did say that the only other company in the world that has the same quality down is WM.

Thanks for the clarification on the Passion 3.

Of course the full zip increases the range of a sleeping bag. Yeti stated that they wanted to make the best bag, not necessarily the lightest. I suppose if you're paying that much for a bag, you only hope to buy one! Cheers.

+1 on the Nutella!

That buckle design of Klatermussen isn't unique at all. It was invented by Berghaus at least two decades ago when the first plastic quick release buckles came to the market. They weren't that strong yet and sometimes failed. Therefore Berghaus developed this type of buckle since it doesn't break very easily.

The name of this buckle is bergbuckle and most berghaus packs still use it

Could be bought separately in two sizes (for 40mm and 50mm webbing ) and its quite cheap :-)
