Anyone have a direct link to someone at Zen-Ray? I have a set of ED3's that could use some tuning before scouting season starts but their support email hasn't responded and their website seems to always be in a state of maintenance.
TIA!

With 2018 just hours away I wanted to see what piece of gear you all picked up in 2017 that changed your life? If you have to be a negative Nancy you can toss out what piece of gear you completely regret buying if that's more top of mind for ya.

How do you sleep? Side, stomach, back? I have an Exped SynMat UL7 in Long/Wide and for me at 6'1" and 235 lbs it is as close to my bed (well my old bed, have you tried a Purple mattress? They're amazing) that I can get in the backcountry. I'm a side sleeper and no part of my body touches...
6'2" 235 lbs and I have the Exped UL7. I am also a side sleeper and I don't touch the ground at all when I'm on that thing. It is really the best purchase I've made. After 3 days in the backcountry my hips would be killing me, upgraded the pad and I'm more energized. Biggest problem now is...
I've been using the Ignite 20* for a couple years now. No complaints. Paired with a bivy and tarp it's kept me warm on nights in freezing rain and wind.
