    Backpacking, Climbing, & Mountain Gear - Meikael Beaudoin Rousseau

    Curated gear collection

    Meikael Beaudoin Rousseau's expert gear recommendations on Rendezvu

    Products in this list

    • Hyperlite Mountain Gear Elevate 22 Pack by Hyperlite Mountain Gear — The simultaneous durability and lightness of this pack amazes me. I've used Hyperlite packs for 8 years and they have never failed me. I'm not sure I could break it if I tried!
    • Hornet Elite OSMO Tent: 1-Person 3-Season by NEMO Equipment Inc. — Really great ultralight tent if you're looking for something more spacious than a bivy!
    • Insulated Static V2™ Sleeping Pad by Klymit — A good compromise of affordability, durability, and comfort. This is a great lightweight inflatable sleeping pad.
    • Recco Vision airNET Harness by Black Diamond — I've had this harness for years and I absolutely love it! It's light, comfortable, and perfect for big alpine pursuits. I honestly also often wear to sport-climb because I like the non-bulky feel.
    • Sterling Nano XEROS 8.9 mm Dry Rope Orange 8.9 Mm X 70 M by Sterling — Good lightweight rope for alpine adventures!
    • Crocodile Gaiters - Men's by REI — Snug and very very durable! If you have a tendency to nick your gaiters with your crampons these will usually withstand that.
    • Helium Bivy by Outdoor Research — My go-to shelter for multi-day fastpacking and mountaineering trips. This weighs only about one pound and provides all the shelter you need. It's honestly way easier to set up than a tent and much less noisy if it's windy thanks to its low profile.
    • Hornet Elite OSMO Tent: 2-Person 3-Season by NEMO Equipment Inc. — Really great ultralight two-person tent for backpacking.
    • High Point Waterproof Jacket 2 by Brooks — Will protect you from water and wind! A must have on multi-day trips or bigger day trips with uncertain weather.
    • MSR PocketRocket 2 Stove by MSR — Super reliable ultralight stove. I've had mine for six years!
