So what new Gear are you planning on buying this year? Me, a new 0degree Marmot Down Bag and a new 4th ses tent... Still looking around to see what I like for them. Everything else I think will carry over, as most of it is still new. Just wondering what we are looking for this year.

My primary gear purchases this year are going to be more toward obtaining lightweight clothes. My big purchase this year will probably be the Montbell Thermawrap Jacket. It's a synthetic-insulated coat, but is as warm as down, without the worry of getting it wet. And it only weighs 10 oz. for a large size.

I'm pretty happy with most of my other gear,
