I added up a similar and very specific list a few days ago. The price of this full kit list today could easily make a grown man weep to get it under 10#.

5.25 oz/ 150g
* boots/inner boots
2# 8 oz/ 1134g Scarpa Phantom 6000 with Baruntse liner

Lots of different combos available. This is the best I could do for the warmth involved and a systems approach. How does your gear's weight measure up to 1984 standards? And the more specific question I think, "how much better/warmer is it?"

What on earth is a hollow biner?? Yikes!
State of the art bitd. The best wire gates beat them for weight now.
Sorry, they aren't in production yet. I have a pair made from the same Polartec Neoshell Marmot is using for the Zion and a pair from the Neoshell laminated to the same material Patagonia is using for the Northwall jacket and pants.
Both rock. I have high hopes for the Northwall version. Weights are virtually the same. You'll see some side by side comparisons here soon.
any commercially available equivalent? i really need to replace my old patagonia softshell pants. any recommendations?
cheers
