Good Food ain't Cheap....Cheap Food ain't Good....

When buying equipment I look at Quality and Function first, then cost. This can be a very expensive statement to make for many of us. My main concern is the product must work when I am on a mountain, protecting the team and myself. There is no store on the mountain to honor a warranty. The gear must work.

The HPC-Tested logo signifies the product is in my gear locker and tested in the real world - the mountains.

Some items listed I have included a more in-depth gear review. Just click on the !
