Brooks Range Cirro Extreme Jacket Review

Brooks Range Cirro Extreme Jacket Review

The Brooks Range Cirro Extreme jacket is a lightweight “no-nonsense” jacket made by a reputable company. I spent last summer using their Ultralight Quicktent and consequently I had high expectations for this jacket. After a winter season of rock climbing, skiing, and camping, this jacket was a constant companion in temps ranging from 40° to below freezing with a high wind-chill factor. The Cirro Extreme has ended up replacing all of the other jackets, both down and synthetic, in my closet.

Brooks Range Tension 40 Tent Preview

Brooks Range Tension 40 Tent Preview

Brooks Range has outdone themselves with this new offering for Summer 2014. I was a little afraid to take this featherweight (weighing in at barely four pounds) out in the late fall in the northwest. It rains a little out here.

Brooks Range Ultralight Quick Tent

Brooks Range Ultralight Quick Tent

Brooks Range calls it a Quick Tent, but without a floor, dedicated poles, zippers, and a mesh enclosure I find it hard to call this a tent. I prefer the term shelter. There is room to sit up inside and plenty of room for two people or one person and two packs and then you can still cook inside too.
