Mikes Ultimate Products

Mountain Hardwear out dry, the comfort revolution. The Epic glove's unique construction allows total waterproof protection with no bulk.



Mountain Hardwear z-weld technology in the women's Silvretta jacket allows construction of seams and pockets with no stitches or seam taping. Totally waterproof and stronger than most stitched seams.



Arc`teryx Coreloft Atom LT Hoody men`s and women`s jacket is super compressible ultralite thermal insulation. Great for backpacking, backcountry skiing, climbing and mountaineering. New material has similar warmth of existing continuous filament insulation but much more packable with less loft loss. Nearly no moisture absorption.





USDA Pct maps all newly redone and updated. Printed on waterproof, tear resistant paper.

Mammut Mt. Crest Lth for men and Mammut Mt. Vista for women are the most perfect classic all leather boot using modern materials and construction techniques. Injection molded rand won`t delaminate. Lamb skin lined with high memory foam underneath to make the most soft and padded upper ever in an all leather boot.




Big Agnes is making an ultralight design even lighter with the Fly Creek UL. So long stuffy bivy sack. A full tent that weighs less then most tarp tents and bivy sacks.



Holly awesome techfit AT binding! Thank you G3 for you new ONYX.



BD Justice. Only one thing to say, all about the down!



Thermarest Neo Air. The lightest, most packable comfort mattress that is actually insulating. Easily a three season mattress. New materials and construction techniques allow for a big cushion with no more bulk then a few sheets of nylon. Horizontal baffles increase the comfort by allowing you to sleep on top of the mattress without being taco`ed into the middle of the mattress.



Petzl headlamps. Updated electronics make an efficient LED design even more efficient. With a supplemental red LED you now have a light for all occasions.



Patagonia Nano Puff men`s and women`s. Using primaloft one, the nano puff is super warm as well as weighs almost nothing. Plus its more packable then standard primaloft. Combine that with the no frills design of the garment and you have a layering staple that you can take anywhere while doing almost anything.
