It is a quest that never ends…swapping out gear for something “better.” This is what I have done with my rain jacket. I have been using the Sierra Designs Cyclone Eco jacket and while it is a great jacket, I just wanted something a little lighter. Two other things that were important to me in my search were hand pockets and pit zips. (Ok, 3, money too…) So, I searched around, read some reviews on a few different jackets and finally settled on one, the GoLite Tumalo 2.5L Pertex Storm Jacket. Using a 40% off code, this jacket was a great blend of nice features for a great price, and with the features I desired. So, here is a video review I did with my initial impressions:

Today was too pretty to stay inside. After running wild at the park Luke came and laid beside me for a minute. Such a good boy.... sometimes! #dogslife #goldenretriever #goldenretrieverpuppy #lukethegolden #eaterofumbrellas #beautifulday #iphone8plus #nofilterApparently, the old #chromedome #umbrellas make good chew toys... #backpacking #hiking #dogproblems #goldenretrieverphotos #goldenretrieverproblems #chewtoys #frustratedLuke has been caught in the act... that poor sloth! #dogslife #poorsloth #goldenretrieverMy old @zpacks Hexamid Solo Plus tarp and Hexanet set up at 11,500 feet at the base of Mt Whitney near Guitar Lake. Right after setting up we had to break down and move.... the rangers asked us not to set up on the grass. Made for a nice shot though! #leavenotrace #zpacks #hexamid #cubenfiber #mtwhitney #jmt2018 #johnmuirtrail #guitarlake #imissthetrailThe Instapot really is a handy appliance! Just made homemade potato salad with it (after building pressure the potatoes and eggs were done in only 4 minutes!) It should go great with the New York Strips that have been marinating since last night! Can’t wait for dinner!! #instapot #potatosalad #rvlife #glamping #dinnerMy breakfast view this morning! #breakfastwithaview #rvlife #glamping- Follow Stick's Blog on WordPress.com
