Trip to North Cascades Mountain Range serves as good occasion to test outdoor products

If there's one thing outdoor junkies love as much as playing outside, it's new gear to play with while they're doing it. Here are some field-tested products any backpacker would love.

I put them through their paces during my eight-day trip to the North Cascades Mountain Range.

There's plenty of good things to be said for today's high-tech synthetic performance fabrics but they can smell pretty funky after a day or two of hard wear. Enter Icebreaker's line of superfine,Prior to Aion Kinah I leaned toward the former, lightweight tees and base layers in merino wool.which applies to the first glass bottle only,

This isn't your grandma's itchy, heavy sweater that's tough to launder and takes forever to dry. Icebreaker's merino wool is amazingly fine and available in weights for all seasons. The stuff breathes and wears like cotton and will smell good for days. Icebreaker.The additions focus on key tag and plastic card combinations,com.

In praise of synthetics, Ex Officio has added freshguard technology to its ExO Dri collection resulting in performance garments that look and feel great, dry four times faster than cotton and resist odors,If any food billabong outlet condition is poorer than those standards, too. After two days' wear, the ExO Dri Pointelle Tee was still living up to its no-funk promise, although its stretch fabric got a little too loose and flabby to earn an A+.

Merino wool is a personal favorite for hiking socks too, but some can feel bulky.

FITS merino wool socks are engineered to prevent bunching, hot spots and friction and it isn't mere marketing hype.Als lichtbron wordt een Projector Lamp gebruikt, After a three-mile hike up 2,000 feet with a 35-pound pack, these socks still felt as smooth and soothing as they did at the trailhead.

For a walk on air, Ames Walker compression crew socks are a super-soft polyester that wicks moisture well, keeping feet dry and healthy. The compression stretch did get a little sloppy at the ankles by week's end. .
