Fuzzy Burliness

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Monkey Man Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 17, 2007

Never in my life have I owned a better fleece! This is by far my favorite jacket to throw on when its cold outside. Its got great style and looks. The fuzziness of the jacket attracts a lot of questions regarding its warmth and comfort...It keeps me nice and toasty without being the least bit irritating, and its like a magnet for girls to cuddle up with you.

Excellent Fit - Spherically Challenged

Electric Technician Sunglasses - Polarized

Electric Technician Sunglasses - Polarized

Rating for this product: 3 July 27, 2007

These glasses are an excellent fit for anyone with a smaller face. They're very comfortable and super steezy. The only thing I don't like about these is that they seem to be spherically challenged when it comes to depth perception. I always feel like I'm taller than usual in them, and find myself getting dizzy when focusing on something directly under my feet....I don't know if its because of the shape of the lens or if its because they're polarized...

Better for road....not trail

The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

The North Face Arnuva 50 Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 July 5, 2007

These shoes fit true to size and are a comfortable way to go - if you're running on the road. If you're doing any serious trail running your feet will hate you. The sole on this shoe is really soft which makes it horrible on any type of rock/pebbles.

Rating for this product: 4 July 5, 2007

These shorts are really comfortable because of the liner - but that liner makes them a little warm in the heat of the day.

Patagonia Strider T-Shirt Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 5, 2007

This is my new favorite shirt! Stylish enough to wear out on the town, but cool enough to run in. This shirt is cut perfectly and looks great. Nice to wear out in the sun with its UPF protection.

Squeky

The North Face Arnuva 50 BoaTrail Running Shoe - Men's

The North Face Arnuva 50 BoaTrail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 July 5, 2007

These shoes were a bit short...didn't fit like all my other size 9.5's. After a while these shoes start to squek....not sure if its the boa lacing system, or if its something in the sole, which by the way is too soft for trail running.

Best climbing shoe of all time

Five Ten Moccasym Climbing Shoe

Five Ten Moccasym Climbing Shoe

Rating for this product: 5 July 5, 2007

I've been through several different pairs of climbing shoes, and these have been my favorite by far. I've used them on sport routes, crack climbs, and bouldering and loved them for each type of climb. Aggressive enough to tackle whatever you throw at em, but comfortable enough to climb without pain.

Jetboil JetPower Fuel

Rating for this product: 5 May 4, 2007

I love that you can fit the JetPower Fuel into the JetBoil! When you're packing light, and there's not much room this is very convenient. I'm very pleased with the efficiency of the fuel as well. Great 4 Season mix especially at altitude.

Base layer heaven

Mountain Hardwear Hyperdry Crew - Men's

Mountain Hardwear Hyperdry Crew - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 May 4, 2007

I love this shirt for the simple fact that its so versatile. I can wear this as a stand alone piece when I'm out trail running, or I can wear it as my base layer when I'm out on a early morning hike. Really well fitted. Its a little on the thin side of things, so you probably wont want to wear it as a fashion piece. (kinda see through).

Bomber!

Mountain Khakis Original Mountain Pant - Men's

Mountain Khakis Original Mountain Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 4, 2007

These are by far my favorite pair of pants. I wear them when I'm working, when I'm out on the town, when I'm at work, when I'm climbing...you get the point. They are super comfy. The gusseted crotch allows you to do just about anything and stay comfortable the whole time. Very durable and reliable. I like these better than Carhartts.

Black Diamond Skylight

Black Diamond Skylight Tent 3-Person 3-Season

Black Diamond Skylight Tent 3-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 5 August 25, 2006

This is a really great tent. Super durable materials and great functionality make this tent one of my favorites. It's pretty interesting to have the poles on the inside of the tent. I was surprised at how easy it was to set it up even from the inside. One feature that is really nice is the reflective materials where the poles are to be inserted - Makes setting it up in the dark a breeze. It’s also very good in the wind and rain. I had no problems with either.

This pad is pretty sweet. It was nice and thick and provides great insulation on cold nights. It basically self inflates, you only need to give a few breaths of air to inflate it fully.

Arc'teryx Naos 55 Backpack - 3230-3600cu in

Rating for this product: 5 August 14, 2006

This pack is pretty sweet! Lightweight, waterproof, comfortable, and super durable. I am really impressed with the construction of the pack. It’s not over loaded with straps or pockets that you don’t need. It holds all the gear I need for a trip, and it’s easy to get in and out of with the great roll top opening. This is just an all around bomber pack! No complaints from me.

green river....

Kelty Green River 6 Tent 6-Person 3-Season

Kelty Green River 6 Tent 6-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 3 August 14, 2006

This tent will impress you with its size, that’s for sure. You can easily fit 6 people in this thing, and it will work great for family camping. A few thing you do need to be aware of are: It is impossible to set up by yourself. The stitching is really weak and can tear easily. (especially the front flaps for the vestibule poles). This tent is weak in the wind and just bends right over. Not a bad tent, but could have used a few improvements in its design.

Awesome Harness!

Black Diamond Momentum Harness

Black Diamond Momentum Harness

Rating for this product: 5 May 10, 2006

This harness works great. It’s super comfortable and lightweight. Plenty of room to hang my equipment from. I mainly top rope and sport climb and I've never had a problem with the harness being uncomfortable or being in my way. I'd suggest this harness to anybody looking for something basic and comfortable.

Rating for this product: 5 May 10, 2006

This is the lightest, most packable jacket I've ever owned. I love it. This jacket performs tremendously well, it is lightweight, packs up really small, and looks really cool too. It’s great for running at night because of the reflective stripes. The PrecipPlus material is great.
