I used it at high altitudes on the Andes mountains and it worked ok. But would go for a pack from Marmot. Much better quality.

My boyfriend and I walked the entire 2184 miles of the App Trail in this jacket in 2012 and we still wear it on a day to day basis during our city walks and also in the crazy backcountry weather. No holes. It still looks brand new. I doubt you'll have any issues.

I've gone down the river several times with this tube and I have only had it get a small puncture once. We always bring duct tape for some emergency repairs just in case. I have a video of the double tube, river run ii, which is made by the same company. Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz7m8T-I1wE&feature=youtube_gdata_player You can compare if you like.

The poncho liner otherwise known as a "woobie" is a must for cuddling with it, do not leave home without it. It will pack down way smaller than the patrol bag, but is not as warm. I would recommend to anyone to buy both, you will not regret it, because you can mix and match them depending on the temperature. I have used the woobie in the +50°F range and woobie and patrol bag for +30° weather. I have the mss 4 piece system and use my woobie to mix and match for the weather expected.

The actual tube fits in a protective canvas donut like sleeve. so there is some protection from tearing or cutting the tube its self. I have not tried that. seems to me snow would have more resistance than water and would put more stress on the rope loops but ive seen crazier things towed. I would consult the manufacturer.

Hi Jose- That's great question. The dog that I bought this for loved to slid on his back onto the snow (he did it with and without the backpack). The velcro never let go. ALSO, you can't see it but there is a clip from the base of the pack that clips to the other part-so even if the velcro fails you won't lose your goods. My dogs are extremely active and crazy. It's been good so far. I hope this is helpful.

Servive jr. Jacket thermal all weather, in other words it can be used in all types of weather and still stand the test of time. I have one serving my camper while I am living in it while building my house. I live in the south and for the past few weeks we've probably gotten a total of around 15" of rain, and the cord is still out there, 24-7.

Our dog is a 30lb Golden mix and she has sharp nails also. We live in Minnesota with a long winter and have one full winter in the boots and no problems with punctures. They are tough boots. Jim W.

Hello Ron..I have been asked to comment on your query. The Velcro strips supplied with the insulation pads are pretty decent, in that the adhesive part works well....I cannot comment on the temperature range for application (I live in Qatar, so everything is mostly done in the higher temp ranges)....but did think it worthwhile to mention that you need to watch out for the fact that the rear section (Unltd Wrangler) of insulation, because of its size, detaches itself from the Velcro side of the strip quite often. This is a minor hassle and just needs to be "pressed" back in place. I am considering placing extra strips of Velcro in these "problem" areas.

I do not have direct experience with the protector, but looking at the respective stat sheets on the two cases, it looks as if the Survivor is held o a more rigorous standard. On the survivor they quote more detail on dust and water resistance as well as a specific military grade drop standard. I hope that helps.

Had mine in 50+mph and about 3ft of snow. It held up great, I upgraded the steaks and seam sealed and kwick sealed the entire tent. The vents zip from top to bottom and Velcro on the bottom.

I don't believe it is particularly 'tough' if you are asking if it would hold up to repeated abrasive wear. It has the same texture as a windbreaker. That, combined with the reflective interior material, makes it very effective though.

Sorry to say I have no idea. i suggest calling the manufacturer. I can tell you we love this thing! Very strong and sturdy. i have no concern for it puncturing or tearing

We have both a Large Long Marmot Sawtooth, and a Regular Marmot sleeping bag (down)- 35 (if I remember correctly) for both, the Large Long fits easily in the Medium with room to spare, and the regular fits well in my Regular Marmot. No issues... Medium should be fine. We love them.

I haven't had a chance to use it yet, as my camping trip had to be cancelled. It looks and feels exactly like my Ex's Goretex USMC issued jacket. The jacket was 100% waterproof, and very lightweight. I'll try to remember to repost and update my review when I actually get a chance to try it.

It's not soft, it's tarp like material. It just better made and thinker. Plus has the reflective material to help you body retain more heat. You could use it to put under a tent to keep the floor of the tent dry. This wouldn't be good for a soft warmth post polar bear plunge.
