"Light and Fast"

Its a motto I certainly like to use while racing and its also the catch phrase of Montbell, a technical outdoor clothing/camping product company.

My recent visit down to Boulder allowed me to meet a few of the team players running the show out of the US headquarters and what a great visit it was.
I started accumulating Montbell's products a number of years ago when adventure racing and through my past years of expedition style bike racing when needing to carry a self-sufficient worthy system that is light, fuctional and dependable.
We have become friends over the past year and this year Montbell and JayP are down for a sponsorship. Kudos!

Montbell - Clothing System4.29lbs of wheather protection clothing. This will be the only extra layers I will carry going to Nome. The sleeeping bag/bivy system has a ditto of a wieght. A sub 10lb sleeping clothing system that I am comfortable in, in -30F.

As racers we are always looking to cut wieght and mainly worry about the actual equipment. One might start looking at thier clothing system wieghts I know I have saved pounds going with a full Montbell system.

A few of my favorites:
- insulation, 10oz. savings off my previous comparable
- sleeping/bivy, I prefere the long bag for storing goods.
- wind breaker jacket, winter/summer at 2.6oz this is an indispensable kit item.

Stay warm and be happy while going "Light and Fast"
