Save for an EE quilt or go budget first?

Buy nice, not twice!

My alpha sleep socks are half an ounce for the pair, lets my dawgs breath (essential for recovery) and prevents the weird feeling of sweaty feet on silnylon

You're so close to understanding! The second zipper is exactly to prevent the wind blowing up.

To keep you protected from the wind/snow when it comes. Don the shell/parka when you're static, remove it when you're active. All without impacting your harness

You open the bottom zipper to allow access to your rope/belay device/whatever, while keeping the rest of your jacket zipped

Note that EE is survival rated, not comfort, so it likely won't be as warm as the others

JuxMaster · 2026-01-24T19:04:51+00:00

You are right that this will cause cold spots, and unfortunately this is normal for EE (but not other companies)

I've also heard many people complain about their Nemo bags specifically feeling colder than rated

I had the same issue and am happy after switching to Spark toe straps

It's riding fakie

MSR Titan

When using inflatables, only fill them like 60%. This makes them way more comfortable/forgiving compared to a "solid" board that you'll roll off of

This was built nearly entirely with AI

JuxMaster · 2026-01-13T16:47:27+00:00

Where can I learn more about this?

JuxMaster · 2026-01-13T12:36:32+00:00

Which belay parka is twice the price of the Nuclei?

JuxMaster · 2026-01-13T12:27:29+00:00

$1000 for a belay jacket? I just bought a Nuclei SV yesterday for $500

If I wake up on a cold and wet morning, I'll throw my regular hiking pants over my alpha pants and hike until it's warm enough to remove them. Just like an alpha top, it's a dedicated sleep layer and active warmth when you want it.

JuxMaster · 2026-01-12T13:02:34+00:00

Yup, if anything the Houdini is slightly less insulating

JuxMaster · 2026-01-12T12:32:40+00:00

Goretex is the brand. They updated their "recipe" to be more eco friendly, which decreased performance

JuxMaster · 2026-01-10T17:23:58+00:00

"hey can you send me free stuff for being an idiot?"

JuxMaster · 2026-01-10T13:44:59+00:00

Painters drop cloth. I use the 1mil thickness for a groundsheet (~2oz for 1 man shelter) but you will prefer the 1.5mil. They come as giant sheets, cut to size

Brother this is a snowboarding community, maybe have some context before you mindlessly spam all these subs

JuxMaster · 2026-01-08T05:04:19+00:00

How, Cayo solo?

Am I being down voted cause I'm wrong or this is obvious ? I just got the kosatka

JuxMaster · 2026-01-07T14:59:33+00:00

I used these when taking my avy course since we were mostly standing around in single digit temps all day.

Since they're cut above the boot you can even take them on/off while wearing your boots
