Best Down Bag Ever

Marmot Pinnacle Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

Marmot Pinnacle Sleeping Bag: 15 Degree Down

Rating for this product: 5 October 30, 2009

This bag is ridiculous! I have never been so warm. I have terrible circulation and freeze in a tent, my feet are always cold and my body is cold too, my boyfriend told me to get a down bag. This bag changed my camping experiences. It is so down filled I can sleep on my side comfortable in the tent and I was so warm I had to strip down. I am so happy with my purchase of the Marmot Pinnacle, it's worth every penny! On our trip the air temperature was a little below freezing and I had just underwear on, so I'm imagining on a colder night I'd be fine in just a light baselayer for sleeping. Great bag, recommend it.

The small is small

Isis Everyday Bra - Women's

Isis Everyday Bra - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 September 15, 2009

This bra is really similar to one patagonia has that is really a "bralette". If you have a B or smaller it might offer some support but those with a C or D cup need not apply unless you are doing some mellow yoga. Really a simple bra, not much support, but is way cute for climbing or lower impact stuff. It stretches a lot. I thought it was a little girls bra when I opened the small, it looks teeny! If you have a C or bigger bra size order a medium or larger.

Icebreaker SuperFine 200 Kent Polo - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 4, 2009

This polo is another fine piece by icebreaker. It's dressy enough to wear out or to work. It performs like merino should so if you take a long walk after work in the heat or cold, it does well.

I got this for my boyfriend and it looks great on him and the black color looks really slick. It's the new go to shirt for him, matches everything and is super soft and comfortable.

Rating for this product: 5 August 30, 2009

Theses glasses are so good that I lost mine two nights ago and have already re ordered a pair. An expensive mistake to make but well worth it. I am a tiny female, under 5 feet with a small face and have a hard time finding a pair of sunglasses that can perform well. I wear these for every sport including running and hiking and even in the water with a proper holder. They are so versatile. I have ordered several different lenses through the years and wear my toasters for every light condition. Well worth the money, don't lose them!

Icebreaker SuperFine150 Detour Polo Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 2 August 4, 2009

I have never met an icebreaker shirt I didn't like until this one. I bought this for my boyfriend not realizing it had the unfinished edges and an asymmetrical pocket. It's an ok shirt if you're hitting the club but not to wear to work or to dress up for an event. We returned it for the Kent polo instead, a basic clean cut polo shirt.

Nuun U Natural Hydration Pack - 8 Pack

Rating for this product: 5 July 28, 2009

Nuun U Natural is really good and has a nice light flavor. It lasts a lot longer than Emergen-C and doesn't taste like crap an hour later if you don't finish your water. I use a whole tablet after a hard workout and it has a refreshing taste. The tangerine ginger is awesome! Totally good after a sweaty yoga session or a long run. My only beef is it takes a good minute or two to dissolve and sometimes I am not very patient! It is worth the wait and tastes great!

Rating for this product: 3 July 16, 2009

If you're a C or larger this bra isn't good for anything other than yoga class. It's cute though but I have found with patagonia sports bras to size up. I have a 32 inch back measurement but a C/D and I have to get a Medium in this cup, the small is suffocating. It's cute and fun and a great top for yoga, if you're a B or A cup, this bra would be great for other sports!

These are one of the best shorts from Stonewear and overall, on this site. I can do every sport in them, they are my go to short. I go running in them and there's a small pocket for my ID or chapstick. I can hike, do bikram yoga in these and climb, the shorts are the best bang for your buck.

I have been having the tri berry after my runs lately and it's pretty tasty. It does take a good 1 minute or so to dissolve which I'm not very patient so that's my biggest complaint. Other than that, it tastes good and I feel that it helps me get back into balance after a long run. I've also used it after a sweat session at Bikram class, it rocks for that too.

The stitching is cute and the fabric is way lightweight and I agree on the generous fit, I got the 6 and they were so large I would have had to get a 4, however I decided on another pair for pricing reasons. These are another awesome Cloudveil product, nice construction, smooth lines and designs and good length. A nice pair of casual capris. Lighter weight cotton than most cotton shorts.

Agreed on that they are little bigger than other TNF items, I am normally about a size 4 and am a 2 on these, I even tried shrinking the size 4's that I got and ended up giving them a friend and ordered the next size down and they are perfect! Great length for riding on my bike and hanging out around town or doing a quick hike. I love these capris, my new summer favorite.

Rating for this product: 3 May 20, 2009

I agree, I ordered this two times in XS and S and both didn't work for me, a first for icebreaker. The arm holes were just too big for my scrawny arms. I am also C/D cup and the XS on this one was way too small even though I'm thin. However, I've seen this shirt on my very slim friend and it fits her like a dream, for me, it just didn't work. Also, the fiesta color doesn't show up well with bc.com's photo software but it's magenta/fuschia color. Not my favorite icebreaker piece.

Rating for this product: 5 March 2, 2009

This is a great shell but be wary of that white color, it gets dirty fast. I didn't love the chest high pockets in the front, but i wasn't with my pack that day, so it's a good feature if you ski with a pack or are ice climbing with a harness. I stayed dry and the wind was nuts and I was still just fine. My only complaint is the hood doesn't detach which I would have liked to have as an option. Otherwise a great piece of gear to add to your closet. If you order the appropriate size you have plenty of room for a layer underneath.

Rating for this product: 3 February 27, 2009

This rack is way way tall, I'm five feet and have serious trouble reaching it. So when the arms open up, to close them I have to climb into the backseat to get up to them. It's a good rack and the pull out feature is really nice for me being short. Installation was relatively easy if you already have cross bars. I noticed the screws came loose holding the rack down, but I have the tool in the car to fix, kind of annoying you could lose a screw if you don't notice that. However, I bought this because the regular one was out of stock thus costing me lots more money. If the regular one is in stock, I'd save your cash and just get that one. and yes, they don't close if they are pulled out, highly annoying.

I am 170 lbs and 6' tall and I had to return the large because it was way too big. I ended up buying the medium and it fits fine.**just wanted to add from the BC team we just added a size chart for this item to clear up the confusion.

Cloudveil Inversion Jacket - Women's

January 7, 2009

Hey Kathy, I have this jacket and it rules. It is longer than a mountain hardwear coat but just as durable. It hits below the waist just at the hips for me and I'm an XS. It is WAY warm and worth the money esp if you can get it on sale. It is not waterproof but for all outdoor activties if it's not dumping snow or rain you're all set. You get way warm if you're moving in this, I ski in mine under a goretex shell and i'm soooo toasty. I do not believe it is totally wind proof but it rocks just the same.

Icebreaker BodyFit200 Legging w/Fly - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

As usual, icebreaker kills it with the body fit leggings. I have the women's and got these for my dad for the holidays and he is loving it. They are the warmest and thin enough to wear even if you just want to put them under jeans. You can sweat in them while skiing for days and days and they still won't smell!

The North Face Chilkats Winter Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

For the holidays I bought my other brother these boots after buying a pair last year for one of them and myself. I like them. They are a basic winter boot, nothing "hardcore" but will be fine for shoveling, getting around town and I even use them snowshoeing and my feet stay dry. They are not super warm if you're not being active...i.e. if you're standing around at a parade and it's 5 F outside your feet will get cold. If you're moving around on a walk, you'll be fine.

Another icebreaker purchase for my dad after getting him one shirt he had to have another for the holidays. It's meant to be a layering piece so if you want a casual look size it up. He has gone hunting for some good 3 and 4 day trips and not had to wash it and it he stays warm. If you haven't bought icebreaker yet, do it and try this shirt, I have the women's one and it's amazing!

Best Down Jacket

Cloudveil Inversion Jacket - Women's

Cloudveil Inversion Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

this thing rules. I got the Xs because the mountain hardware coat made me look like a marshmallow. This is fitted but yet still performs. I was skiing in below 0 temps the other day and put this on under my gore tex shell and I was SOOO WARM. It is great around town day to day and does well hiking and walking too. Stylish and still technical, I love this jacket and if you can grab it on sale it's so worth the higher cost. My only beef is my feathers when I first got it were coming out a little bit with the fine 700 fill down, but that seems to be lessening now. Great coat, do it.

best boots ever wear tall socks

KEEN Winthrop Boot - Women's

KEEN Winthrop Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

I have never gotten so many compliments on a pair of shoes. I love Keens, these boots are lined with the boiled wool so they are warm for the whole winter. They also have the silicon leather on them so my feet stay dry when going to work. They are the coolest boots, I recommend a tall sock though if you don't tuck them into jeans, if you have short socks, the wool can be scratchy on your shins.

worth the money

Arc'teryx Scorpion Pant - Women's

Arc'teryx Scorpion Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2009

After getting sub-par brands I sucked it up and got these and am so pleased. They are your usual ARC smallish sizing. I'm a size 2 to 4 and I went with the small so I'd be comfy with my layers on underneath. the XS was pretty tight for me but I curvy, if you're a straight athletic build and a size 2 the XS would probably be fine. Anyway, they are pretty much waterproof with the Gore-Tex Soft Shell and I stay warm with the soft fleece lining even skiing in -5 F temperatures with good merino underneath. I actually get TOO warm in them if I have thicker layers on but they are awesome. I think touring would be too hot in these in the backcountry but for resort skiing and shorter hikes I'm totally fine in these and the construction is so much better than my crappy old ski pants. These don't rip and they are just bomber. I wish Arc'teryx made petite pants, being 4'11'' mine are so long that when I take my ski boots off I have to roll them up to wear with regular winter boots.

Clifbar Nectar Bar - 9 Pack

Rating for this product: 5 October 27, 2008

Awesome bars but the price is pretty similar to what you'd pay in the grocery store so unless you already have a big order with free shipping and live somewhere so you don't have to pay the sales tax, I'm not sure ordering food online at a high cost is worth it. I didn't really save any money but I do love backcountry and had another order so it was fine to ship it with it. Great bars, all fruit and chocolaty goodness!!! If backcountry had some more flavors of the nectar bars I'd be more inclined to order several boxes at once.

I returned them as well, agreeing with the above poster, I am about 5 feet tall and I was swimming in them. They are way light weight, a little too light, I wanted to rock climb in them but they wouldn't have done well for that. Good for summer hiking but way way too long for me.

Rating for this product: 5 September 26, 2008

The new colors on the Kleen Kanteen are awesome. I got the brown one and it's sick, looks great with a white sticker on it. It washes easily, isn't toxic and keeps my water chilled in the hot yoga classroom which is a huge advantage. If you come and go from different atmospheric pressure, the lid can be hard to open, I commute to a high mountain location and come down to a lower mountain spot often so when I get down I have use some muscle to open the bottle back up. Awesome bottle, definitely recommend getting one of these. Do not drop them though, they will dent.

Rating for this product: 5 March 5, 2008

I'm not a big person, I'm busty but I'm not big. Anyway the mediums on the top and bottom are probably built for someone who is a size 2 to 4, it didn't even cover my bust or my bottom. I'm a D cup so forget the medium and even the large on this particular top looked awful! Great top though i bought a different roxy one that fit better and it's awesome. The bottoms didn't even cover my behind in a medium and I'm between a 4 and 6. So if you are getting this unless you want to look like you trying too hard at the beach, size up!

Rating for this product: 5 December 27, 2007

I love the Smartwool balaclava. I had used a fleece/poly combo for years and this is way better. It doesn't get smelly after I wear it for days on end and I ski like crazy. I get really cold and this does the job, it can cover all the way up to my goggles.

The only thing that is a consideration on this is I am a very small female and this is a one size fits all and it's a little big for me. So if you are a tiny person, you might want to think about that, it still works, it's just a bit big, but I still don't get cold even though it's large.

I love it!
