(We hunt refuges where you have to do a lot of walking, and it rarely gets below the low 30s.) I just don't know if they're going to develop the Cazadora model in 5mm - I hope they do, because we're really happy with this design. <br /><br />Holly Heyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03134909592916671876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5478505267875308908.post-75718682131767741142009-06-04T12:22:19.536-07:002009-06-04T12:22:19.536-07:00This is so awesome on so many levels!
