Petzl Anodized Grigri Belay Device

1 recommendation

"A must-have for sport climbinbg trips. Personally, I like to belay off of a grigri but my partner is not so keen on them. Go figure. Autolocking feature makes dealing w/interminable hangdog sessions way more tolerable as your partner works a sequence."

NALGENE 32 oz water bottles

9 recommendations

"These things are must-haves, imho. They are virtually indestructible and carry enough water to keep you hydrated when you are adventuring in the great outdoors. Plus they don't make the water or tea taste funny. Also great for having at the office or around the house for a handy, spill-proof drinking vessel."

Giro Animas Helmet

1 recommendation

"The helmet is the most important safety item that you can wear. I’ve always liked Giro helmets for the design, light weight and number of vents (leading to a cooler head). They also have a great crash replacement program. I’ve broken 4 helmets over the past 10 years. Giro helmets have saved my life."

Kelty Moraine Pack

1 recommendation

"Kelty packs last forever. I got this one a couple of years ago (after my previous one got stolen), and use it for day hikes and weekend backpacking trips. As long as you get the right size for you and adjust it properly, they're very comfortable. This one also has little holes on the sides for your hydration tubes, so you don't need a separate CamelBack bag."

Fisher Space Pen Bullet Pen with Clip

"This pen is the perfect complement to the small Moleskine notebook. It can click on the elastic strap from the notebook, is the same width as the notebook, and won't fall of if you have the notebook in your back pocket. In addition, this pen will never leak and the lid covers the pen extremely securely so you won't accidentally write on yourself either. Because it is pressurized (it was invente..."
