Imlay Sun Hoodee Man's and Woman's
I melt in the heat. Thus, I consider myself an expert on the functional aspects of sun hoodies — and I suspect no on would consider me an expert on the fashion aspects. Focus on Function yields:
Very light, breathable, very white fabric. Diaphanous
88% polyester 12% spandex - very stretchy
Pony tail exit on both man’s and woman’s
Hood big enough to go over a helmet
Man’s Medium weighs 245 g / 8.7 oz
Modern general sizing - Tom is 5’10” 165 and wears size Medium. In ‘outdoor gear’ I generally wear a Large. I think fitting by sleeve length will be most effective.

We applied the Sheath-Heavy design that worked so well for the Canyon Fire to our 9mm rope, to get a somewhat bigger, somewhat stouter and better-handling rope — Canyonero! The sheath is 52% of the rope, so there is 8% more sheath than core. It is firmly woven for longest life, and uses 100% polyester to minimize water absorption. A nice handling, long-lasting static rope that works great, especially for heavier canyoneers and for Class C canyons with harsh rock, as in Ouray, Colorado.
The Canyonero is longer lasting (than the 8mm and 8.3mm) for 10% more weight. We also gave it a few more core strands, so it has a rated strength of 5000 lb.
The FiddleStick is an advanced canyoneering anchor tool. It is a new approach to retrievable anchoring, opening up a wider range of possible anchors, and making it possible to descend more canyons and leave nothing behind (aka “ghosting”). As an ADVANCED anchor tool, it requires skill, practice and understanding to use safely. Even when used properly, it has the possibility of failing, resulting in severe injury or death, or being stranded in a canyon with your ropes hopelessly stuck.
I was selling both my FiddleStick and BluuGnome’s Smooth Operator, but now the Smoothie can only be ordered directly from Luke at BG-Gear.com
Both are generally used with an Amsteel pull string that pairs (threesomes?) with the SECO-050 rope bag.
