Pros: Adjustable Beam, Long battery life, Spare Bulb, Bright, Stable, Durable
Cons: Heavy
Best Uses: Backpacking, Adventure racing
Describe Yourself: Avid Adventurer
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
If you need a strong light but need to conserve batteries for the long haul then this is the light for you. The LED setting will go all night on a single set of batteries, but having the Xenon bulb will get you out of a jam when necessary.

Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
These shoes are built for endurance running or hiking. Super traction and roll stability and good toe box make them the perfect shoe for ultra-endurance events. They are the only shoes I trusted when racing multi-day adventure races. I could be on the gnarliest trails staring at my maps and not worry about where my feet were going next. The Hardrock would soak it all up like it was pavement.

Comments about Marmot Precip Jacket and Precip Pants:
These are the jacket and pants that go with me when I don't know what I'm getting into. Whether it's unpredictable weather conditions or an undetermined length of time, the Precip Jacket and Precip Pant is the gear that I know will get me through the worst of times. They were with me during the Subaru Primal Quest 10-day adventure race in the Pacific Northwest and are still with me today, looking not much different than the day I bought them.
