Rebecca spent last weekend in Salt Lake City gawking at gear and has a list of some of the stuff she liked. I like the sound of this:

Grabber Sleeping Bag Warmers: I get so cold at night that the chemical hand warmers are my best friends. They are always awkward in a sleeping bag, though. They are scratchy and get lost and fall out when I toss and turn. Not anymore! Now there is a soft fleece pocket for stashing your Warmers – huggable like a teddy bear.

Rebecca promises more gear tips to come. Incidentally, she went representing the eternally handy backpackgeartest.org, which has way more gear than testers. Drop Rebecca a note if you think you’re up for that kind of thing.
