11 Apr 08 Backpacker Magazine Gear Guide online - great resource

Well, I was subscribed for many years to Backacker magazine and it has always been one of my favorite resources for reasonably objective reviews of equipment, trail guides and more.

What they lacked in terms of an online presence back in the late nineties they have more than made up for in recent years… I just headed over to their Backpacker Gear Guide online and it’s quite expansive and well presented. It would be nice to be able to filter their equipment by Manufacturer (since I love my Arcteryx Bora 70 backpack) and also to see volumes in litres instead of just cubic inches, but those are relatively minor quibbles.

Worth checking out…

Now… back to lunch and then back to work hehe.
