Hi there, i've got just a question. Can I use the O'neill Thermo X 13 Oz for kiting instead of the westus in Summer?

Hi Giulie, I got these for my grandson for lifeguarding. As long as you aren't dragging them in the sand/rocks on take off or landing they should be find.

I use mine for doing laps in the pool in the winter. Even though I am inside sometimes the pool is still a little on the cool side. Keeps me nice am warm. Also I bought the men's shirt because the sleeves are a little longer than the women's and fits a lot of better.

I use the SS #4 XL to fit the Hennessy Asym Zip Expedition. Works well, but w/o the fly. No experience with the non-XL #4.

I don't know about the snow peak cup for nesting but the taper of it will have it move around a little when nesting, not too bad though. I have 2 cook kits I use depending on what I'm doing. 1 is the backpacker bottle and a MSR seagull stowaway pot and the backpacker bottle a bottle hanger bail and a GSI glacier cup that I keep on top of the bottle. The other set up is the pathfinder store's grilltop bottle stove with a Olicamp cup nesting inside of it then that nest inside if the Stanley camp cookset with that all nesting around the backpacker bottle with the GSI glacier cup on top of it. It's a stainless steel set up similar to the swiss volcano stove. I'm sure you can make it work for you but the bottle is a solid peice ok kit. If it's the only piece of kit for water carry and purify/cooking I can take then I'm not disappointed at all. I've boiled water in it, cooked some soups in it and also have used it to make char cloth in but I will say it is a little work to clean the inside of it if you do. A hint get some bar keeps friend cleaner and a wire or scotch brite scrub brush on a long handle it will help just clean it real good then it's right back ready for action. Well good luck!

I use mine in a "changing tent" I would worry the extra weight would not be well supported. I usually carry an extra 5gl covered bucket of water for refills. Melteld cooler ice works great also, just let it warm in the bag 1st.

If the dispenser and Gage will unscrew from your 22 ounce can it is more than likely possible that it will screw on to a 12 ounce can I do not believe there is any difference normally. I have done this with other brands but I have not done it with this one I do believe that they are all standard except for some cheap brand refrigerant with proprietary connectors because they do not want to be reuse the gauge it is disposable. I do believe that you're safe. just to note my local Walmart carries the same refrigerant arctic freeze for the same or less Price than Amazon. that is if you do not want to wait

good point. this will be my first summer using it. it did wonders for the winter. my bedroom and bathroom over the garage hit 80 degrees for the first time since I owned the house. I will definitely keep an eye on the temps this summer. Worst case I should delicately be able to remove the insulation for the summer. Shoot me a message in August. I will let you know if my house burned down. lol

If you like being super warm when you sleep sure! I used it this past summer in 50degree at night temps and was comfortable. ..I'm also the type that can't sleep with socks on and like it to be just a bit nippy when I sleep....That being said it's by no means a heavy sleeping bag - I purchased a different coleman for my husband with same temperature ratings and his is warmer/thicker. ..makes no sense but it it what it is!.....To thin it out a little maybe wash it a half dozen times before you use it?

Yes, although if you have adequate finances, I'd consider also getting a Neoair Xlite, since it weighs less and provides adequate insulation and comfort. Having said that, ~16 or 17 ounces for this guy is not too much either, although if you've gone ultralight, you know that every ounce counts. But if you can only buy one bag, and want to use it for summer and winter, this is the one to get!

It's really going to depend. If youre quick with a steady hand 350C is good, 300C is probably on the lower end.

agree with beerfest answers.susanne you can make the temps vary by reading previous post

I would suggest that you check with Thermos corp. They should have a website.Good luck!

i use the 4oz clear flip top container found here http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/cooking-gear.html (it's about 2/3 of the way down the page you will see many sizes) There are probably alot of similar things on amazon. I like the 4 oz for an overnighter or 2 day trip. 1oz of fuel will boil water fairly easily in most alky stoves. I take several 4 oz the more days I go but you could just get a bigger one. I make little hashes with a sharpie to let me know where an ounce is. Might want to experiment outside in normal cold and windy conditions and just see how much fuel it takes to boil and use that as your hash. good luck! i use the 4oz clear flip top container found here http://www.arrowhead-equipment.com/cooking-gear.html (it's about 2/3 of the way down the page you will see many sizes) There are probably alot of similar things on amazon.

One of friends has Accord and it fits. But still I think for high-temp. climates it might not be a good choice. I live in Houston and it doesn't work.

Hey Sam, I have humped all kinds of gear in high heat areas, both jungle and desert during my military career, and it all sucks and makes you sweat. I have never used the ribz in that kind of heat, but would guess they are a good deal cooler than a backpack of some sort, as they just don't cover that much area on your body. My ribz seem to just float at my sides and never really bothered me at all. Combined with a smaller backpack I think it's a great way to distribute that weight a little more evenly. I keep my must - have items and some emergency kit in the ribz and everything else goes in the pack. That's my system but there are many others. I say go for the ribz in any and all weather. Good luck!

I have used the travel bottle warmer with 5oz tommee tippee bottles. You can use it with any bottles its adjustable.

You really need to analyze your work flow. While I could see cycling a few items in and out overlapping their preparation, it's not ideal. You are going to have swings in temp, especially if you are putting frozen items in. I've used sous vides for years in a restaurant environment and one of the best things about them is how they mostly remove time as a cooking factor. If you were going to make steaks for a group and had a few people arriving at 6 and a couple of people that couldn't make it until 8, you could put all the meat in at the same time and there would be almost no difference in the outcome. Extended cooking times break down and soften meats but a small variance of a few hours won't do much. I love my SVS because it sits on my countertop and I use it four or five times a week. That being said, the Polyscience circulating units are much more powerful, precise and better suited for cycling items in and out of the bath because they actively circulate the water. They are very compact and portable and allow you to use a vessel of your choosing. On the downside, they cost a lot more, require setup and most people don't have them insulated as well as a SVS. (Ping pong balls are the best trick in the world if you go with a Polyscienc type unit, if you cover the top of the water with them, you bath will be well insulated and it's effortless to get things in and out.) Sorry for yammering on... Seriously though, get a sousvide and it will open up a whole new world of culinary possibilities. Just don't get on the "everything is better out of a sousvide bandwagon, it's just not true."
