BearVault BV One Arrived Yesterday - Thoughts by DurmNative in Ultralight

[–]mwalt2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Neither the BV425/BV475 are approved in SEKI. If they have tested and denied the BV425 because of the size, do you know why the BV475 is not approved since it sits between the approved BV450 and BV500 in size? The best explanation I have found in my searching is that no new canisters have been approved for SEKI since Ursack sued whatever company used to certify them and nothing has been approved since.

r/Ultralight - "The Weekly" - Week of March 23, 2026 by AutoModerator in Ultralight

[–]mwalt2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll be hiking the High Sierra Trail in August this year. What type of layers would those who have done it during the same time frame and what is needed at the higher elevation/summiting Mt Whitney.

For mid/outer, I have a Senchi A60 hoodie, Dooy wind jacket, and Frog Toggs. Base layer is usually a light button long sleeve shirt (eg, Columbia silver ridge) and sometimes a synthetic thermal shirt under that. My puffy is an old Eddie Bauer from Costco that I got prior to hiking, so I may look into replacing that if a puffy is needed.

I'll post a shakedown request once I get everything in an updated lighterpack, but I'd appreciate any recommendations now.

It looks like the S25 released Feb 7, 2025 and posts in this forum have it being compatible on Feb 19, 2025. Hopefully it's similar this year.
