NYBRAD said:I would have to say bootlaces and snowshoes as being the things I seem to break the most. I have to relace my Sherpa's every year, and every year it's harder to find the materials. If I didn't like the bindings so much, I would buy one of the new solid deck shoes. The Hypalon gaiter straps seem to wear out quickly for me on my OR's and my internal gaiters on my Arcterx Bibs too. Funny, all these things are made of the same type of material?
My repair kit definitely grows in the winter.

Not everyone has problems with them...dave.m said:Lemme guess. An MSR?
Leki poles prevent this problem by allowing the basket to rotate on the shaft--never enough torque on the shaft to loosen the twist-lock mechanism.SherpaKroto said:2) Poles. I've gotten in the habit of constantly adjusting them. The problem stems from twisting your wrist as you pole and move forward. That will cause the poles to eventually loosen. When you try to pull the pull out, the basket snags, the pole separates, and you are left with a fragile connection at the end of two pole sections. Any weight causes it to snap.
Kevin Rooney said:I did the same thing, hikerfast. I even sewed them to a pair of MH Conduit sidezips. Figured the damn things weren't meant to be heirlooms, so why not keep them up where they belonged?

My humble little SVEA 123 has been churning away without a single failure in the 20 years I've owned it. The only regret I've ever had with my SVEA has been the times when I've let a bud talk me into letting him bring his "field repairable" MSR instead of my SVEA.

Kevin Rooney said:When you place your water bottle in it's insulated jacked, put the bottle in upside down. The threads rarely freeze that way, whether you dry them off or not. Has to do with the way water freezes, and the fact that the zipper allows a bit of cold air to enter, and it's right at 'zipper height'.
MadRiver said:I’m surprised no one has mentioned crampon straps. I have tried wrapping the straps around the front straps or by putting the excess strap inside my gaiters, but nothing seems to work. I’m toying with the idea of sewing a double D ring on the side of my gaiters, thereby helping to secure the excess strap.
