[pct-l] New Trail Glasses

[Hiker97 at aol.com]

In keeping with Switchback's tradition of being a friend to all in the  
community and keeping you informed of cool gear ideas, I came across some super  
light reading glasses for the trail.
 
Go to evil Wal-Mart and their reading glasses section the Pharmacy  
department.  Consider their Flex-Lights reading glasses.  They  come in different 
strengths for $7.86.   Without the case they weigh  in at 10 grams or .3 ounces.  
They have no screws, so that really reduces  breakage problems on the trail.  
See _www.select-a-vision.com_ (http://www.select-a-vision.com)  too.
 
I like the strongest type (+2.50), so I can easily read maps, guides, etc.,  
in the tent at night with my headlamp.
 
I am now looking into a super light holder to go on my neck cord with my  
other items (compass, lip balm, knife, etc.).
 
Your new friend, RustyKnees
