Camelbak Fairfax Hydration Pack
The Camelbak Fairfax hydration pack is ultra lightweight and mainly designed to be used by cyclists. I will be using it mostly for hikes shorter than 2 hours. The pack comes in a choice of 4 dual colors, and the pack I have is Dark Cheddar/Graphite. The hydration bladder has a capacity of about 1.5 L (50 oz), and has a dual port so the hydration tube can exit either on the right or left side. The shoulder straps have loops to dress the hydration tube, and a breast strap which can be adjusted horizontally as well as vertically.

Zeal Orb Sunglasses in Caramel
By Suzanne
It has been a few weeks since I first gave the Zeal Orbs a test drive while running. If you remember, I was impressed then by the high quality ZB13s and how they cut the glare no matter what the conditions and kept the bugs out of my eyes. I loved being able to walk inside and outside without having to take them on or off like I had to with so many other pairs of sunglasses in the past. But that was all at the beginning of the summer before the heat, sun, and humidity level increased. And I was really interested in how durable they were in the great outdoors.

Timex WS4 Expedition Watch
-
- The Timex WS4 Expedition watch is named for its wide screen and four function capability, the functions being; altitude, barometer, thermometer, and compass. The screen is rectangular and is about 1.5 inches by 1 inch, and the band is almost as wide as the screen on the watch. This is the widest band I have worn and I am finding it very comfortable. It has a camouflage design which I find looks better on my wrist than when I was looking at it on the web site.

For the past month I have been enjoying the Solitaire Capri Pants while hiking and walking on the beach path. They are stylish and comfortable. An added plus is they dry quickly and offer sun protection.
Check out my thoughts here.

First of all, I was hoping to have more trail miles with the pack by now, but gardening, mowing the yard, and the very hot weather have all put a damper on my enthusiasm to get out and do much hiking. The two trips I did manage were fairly short but still long enough to get a feel for the Mountainsmith Lookout 45. Both trips were in the woods near my home. The one on May the 17th saw a high of 77 F (25 C) and a low of 59 F (15 C). The next trip was on June the 4th and saw a high of 84 F (29 C) and a low of 66 F (19 C). I hiked about 4 miles (6 km) total on each trip.
