Comment on Winter OR Round-Up: Arc’Teryx Gets Down by Zombie Cucumber

Zombie Cucumber — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 17:24:15 +0000

I’m a big Arc’teryx fan, but almost all the down spec’ed for premium (read: expensive outdoor brand) down products comes from “food-grade” geese. And because those geese are used to produce foie gras, they’re treated horribly.

Comment on Hoka One One Mafate 2 Trail Runners by Daryl Reed

I had (haglunds) achilles insertion surgery a year ago and since returning to running a few months ago have been struggling to find a trail shoe. Could you comment on the stiffness of the heel counters? Currently running in Skechers go trail or go rides on roads. Trail just to minimal for any serious distance and gets a little sloppy late in runs.

Thanks,

Daryl Reed

This is a video review of the arete. It goes much more in depth and takes a more detailed approach to breaking down the shoe into its components. I hope you enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VVGpA7eUB0

Comment on Outdoor Retailer: Ibex Introduces 100 Percent U.S.-Sourced and Stitched Merino Wool by nborchelt

Eric H
Yep, you’re right! Australia does produce the majority of merino, most of it used by state-side brands. Icebreaker, originating in New Zealand, is the most prominent brand in the States, but they certainly don’t give us the 80 percent that you mention. Thanks for the clarification! Suspect our love for that sheep zombie movie clouded our perspective.

Either way, state-side merino wool production is a great trend to see.

Hi there Gorp folks,
Thanks for the caravan compartment review, its great that you were able to find a range of useful applications for these travel storage devices. You noted in your review: “The zips do feel a bit flimsy compared to more hardcore product like your day pack, but they’ve held their own over months of arduous testing. If that changes, we’ll let you know.” You are correct: these are #5 coil zips, a day pack is a #8 or #10-essential for the torque a pack experiences but in our humble opinion overkill (and weight) for travel storage items. For backcountry use, please allow us to also recommend that you consider our mentor roll top compression series sacs: http://www.innate-gear.com/category/roll-top-compression-sacs
kind regards
Greg from Innate
