I have all my gear, too, but am looking to get it a little lighter for long summer trips. I did my part by recently asking about lightweight headlamps, but that was in the Gadgets section. I expect that the status of the economy is slowing down the interest in new gear.

We do continue to get a trickle of questions in Lightweight Gear, though. I just hope that the tanking economy doesn't wipe out a bunch of these innovative "cottage" manufacturers. I try to steer folks in their direction when I post here or on other hiking forums (fora?).
