I have a friend who has done the eco-challenges in New Zealand, Nepal and I don't know where all else. His idea of fun is running 100 miles before work. Anyway ... I can put you in touch with him via email if you'd like. I'm sure he'd be happy to answer any questions.

I think I will try REI and Patagonia first and see what sort of results they bring. Letiole: I'll hold off on contacting your friend, pending the results of the REI and Patagonia search (and after all, what's short 100 mile jog before work ...). Thanks to both of you for your responses. tls
