Thanks for this comment! Gear rankings are always subjective, and we don’t all agree on what belongs at the very top. If you do a search for Durston on our site, you’ll see we’ve got plenty of love for Durston – they’re on our trekking poles, ultralight tents, and backpacking backpacks lists. That said, we love hearing when someone finds a piece of gear that really works for them. At the end of the day, finding what you love and what fits your style of hiking is what matters most!

Thanks for this comment! Our testing finds these didn’t make it very far beyond the 600 mile mark, with straps and soles deteriorating quickly after that point. However, we put these through the wringer on a wide number of trails and river trips for the first half of their life and expect the same from our next pair as well.

Thanks for this comment. We appreciate your insight with this app and we’re glad you found something that works for you. Cheers!

Thanks for this comment! We’re stoked you found the review helpful and are having a positive experience with these jackets. We agree that they are a solid investment and perform well for the price point. Happy hiking!

AugView Compass stands alone as the ONLY accurate smartphone compass app available – with or without internet access. You can correct your own (device-specific) smartphone sensor errors using Augview Compass. Also, you have a moving map with GPS location.

AugView Compass is available on both the Google Play store and the Apple store.

AugView Compass will benefit personal, commercial, and military applications that make use of accurate compass azimuths.

Research, documented at http://www.tru-path.org, proves that AugView Compass is capable of a) analyzing any type of compass [electronic, military rangefinder, smartphone app, or magnetic] and b) prescribing the parameters necessary and sufficient to correct the residual [after calibration] compass azimuth errors for such compass.

In particular, take a look at this link: https://tru-path.org/2025/02/06/fixing-rangefinder-smartphone-residual-compass-azimuth-deviation-errors-military-rangefinder-errors-vectronix-plrf25c/

Everyone has a smartphone; and the “find-my-car” / “find-my-spot” feature is a favorite.

Thanks for this comment! You’re right – the price of this tent has gone up significantly since our review. We’ll be updating our Budget Tent Guide soon with more wallet-friendly options.

Thanks for commenting – we love to hear it! The Trango is also one of our faves when it comes to durability. 💪
