Ghost Whisperer Hooded Jacket - Men's by Mountain Hardwear — Lightweight, 800 fill warmth and well fitting, this is my favorite mid-weight puffy jacket. I use this on early mornings and when the sun goes down, and as a belay jacket on crisp winter days in the desert. As well as on a glacier moving in cold weather.

G2 Evo Mountaineering Boot - Men's by La Sportiva — My favorite double boot of the many I have tried. Very light, very warm, very nice features. I have used these for winter ice climbing, mountaineering, courses and also on Rainier in the spring. I have summited Denali 4 times and they are still in great shape!
Stormtracker Sensor Windbloc Glove - Men's by Outdoor Research — My softshell of choice for cool to colder days while moving. They have great dexterity, and blocky the wind well.
Absolute Zero GORE-TEX Down Mitten by Mountain Hardwear — Extremely warm mitten that I have taken on all my Denali expeditions. They seem to run a little large to allow a liner glove inside as well.
Exposure Gore-Tex Glove by Mountain Hardwear — These are my warm gloves that I use on summit days or cold weather moving days on Denali. They are warm and dexterous allowing for clipping gear at high altitude.
Polartec Power Grid Full-Zip Hoodie - Men's by Mountain Hardwear — Warm sweater for summit day

AMG 105L Backpack by Mountain Hardwear — This is my rainier and alaska workhorse pack. I am currently testing their next year's AMG 105 and live what they are making. Watch out for the waste belt, it is exact measurements on their fitting chart, so if you are on the ends of their sizing, it may fit you weird.
NeoAir XTherm NXT Sleeping Pad by Therm-a-Rest — I've used for 3 seasons on Rainier and in alaska. It adds a lot of warmth without adding much weight. I love this pad!
Aeros Down Pillow by Sea To Summit — I take this pillow on every overnight trip in the mountains. Its the smallest and most packable pillow I could find, and have loved using the last 3 years.
Z Lite SOL Sleeping Pad by Therm-a-Rest — I have a 3/4 length one of these, and find it really convenient for packing since it folds/ unfolds very quickly. It straps to the side or under a pack without taking up much room.
Ultimate Cover Sunglasses by Backcountry — Love these! Have used them for a year now and love the wide viewing range and 2-4 category
