Excellent choices AdrenJunky. I haven't used the gloves but I've heard good things. I looked and didn't see the BASE liners, but I saw the OR PS 100 Liners and figure they are close.. synthetic wicking light liner material. All around high quality and value on everything.

Nice pack.. hopefully I'll see some daypacks too, but that's a serious hiking pack.

The only concern I have is the cotton in the M-65 and 5-11 or am I mistaken about their composition?
