Backpacker Editors' Choice Gold Award - Backpacker.com
  Since 1993, the editors of BACKPACKER magazine have hit the trails with outdoor gear to see which performs the best in extreme environments. Products are put through a rigorous and diverse testing process in the outdoors. Those earning the seal of approval are awarded the coveted BACKPACKER Editors' Choice, which spotlights new and innovative equipment that raises the bar for comfort and value. Each year a product that has withstood the test of time as a consistent top-performer earns a place in the BACKPACKER Hall of Fame and the prestigious Editors' Choice Gold Award. In 2006, that distinction goes to The North Face Cat's Meow, a three-season sleeping bag filled with POLARGUARD® Δ continuous filament insulation. |
Weighing just 14oz the Patagonia Micro Puff Pants eliminate any excuses for being caught unprepared when an adventure goes bad. They are windproof, water repellent, compressible and will keep you warm and cozy throughout a long unexpected night on the trail or on a ledge.
