2 person · Ultralight
A pound and a half lighter on lighter fabric, which is less forgiving of rough ground.
4 person · Car camping
Standing height inside and two doors. Heavy, because it is meant to live at base camp.
Solo · Thru hiking
Single side entry, fits a 20 inch pad, and disappears into the bottom of a pack.
Measure from the bony bump at the base of your neck to the top of your hip bones. That number, not your height, is what decides the size.
| Small | 15 to 17 in |
| Medium | 17 to 19 in |
| Large | 19 to 21 in |
Hip belts swap for a different size free of charge within 60 days, so ordering the wrong one is not a problem worth worrying about.
| Cascade 55 55 L, 3 lb 4 oz, carries to 40 lb | $239 |
| Cascade 35 35 L, long days and single overnights | $179 |
Both use the same harness, so if the 35 fits you the 55 will too.
Down is responsible down standard certified. R values are lab figures, not marketing ones.
| Emberline 20 20°F, 650 fill down, regular and long, left or right zip | $279 |
| Emberline 32 For warmer nights and shoulder season | $219 |
| Loft pad Inflatable, R value 4.2 | $129 |
R value 4.2 is enough for shoulder season and cold nights, and it is not enough for deep winter. If you are sleeping out in January in the mountains, you want more than this pad gives you, and we would rather say so here than read it in a return note.
Rentals run from the Bend warehouse only. Twenty dollars a day for a tent, twelve for a pack, and the rental comes off the price if you buy the same model within thirty days.
"Sent a six year old Ridge 2 back with a delaminating fly. They repaired it and posted it back inside two weeks, no argument, no receipt hunt."

Duties and import tax are collected by your carrier, not by us. Fuel canisters and bear spray cannot ship outside the US at all.
Sixty days on unused items in original packaging, with a free prepaid label inside the US. Thirty days on used gear that failed in normal use. Exchanges ship as soon as the return is scanned, so you are not waiting twice.
Fernwood branded gear carries a lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects: seams, zips, buckles, fabric delamination. Accidents, animal damage and UV wear are not covered, but we repair most of it from $25 rather than tell you to buy another one.
The assistant in the corner knows every weight, price, shipping rate and return rule on this page. Ask it what you actually need, and it will tell you when the cheaper one is the right answer.
