Janna - 
Welcome to the zoo.  It's a hiker-friendly place whether you're a
thruhiker, day hiker --- or any other kind.  

For your question - probably the best "database" is the Gear issue of
Backpacker magazine, although we use the Campmor catalog a lot.  But you
can probably wring an opinion or two out of this crowd.  

Anyway - hang around for a while and you'll figure out just how crazy we
really are.  

Walk softly,
Jim
