Great backpacking boot

Vasque Ranger GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

Vasque Ranger GTX Hiking Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 18, 2009

Very sturdy, yet breathable boot for carrying weight on your back. These boots, I think, are a little too heavy for day hiking with a daypack. But for backpacking, they are great! Very comfortable with no break-in period!

Excellent top

CW-X LiteFit T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

CW-X LiteFit T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 18, 2009

I have a few of these tops and they are super great! Not only are they very comfortable and lightweight for the hot summer trail, but they wick very well to keep you dry and do not stink due to the anti-microbial aspect. They are very flattering too! Wish these came in more colors, I would definitely buy more.

Pretty good

Ex Officio ExO Dri Pointelle Scoop Top - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Ex Officio ExO Dri Pointelle Scoop Top - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 May 18, 2009

This top is pretty good. The good aspects are that it does live up to it's claim that it's antimicrobial, so it doesn't stink when you've been sweating all day o the trail, and it does wick quite well. However, the only complaint is that the color on the website is MUCH darker than the actual color of the shirt. But that is not Backcountry's fault. Ex Officio's site has the misleading color as well. The only other complaint is that there is a seam right above the chest that goes across the entire chest area that is a bit annoying when your pack straps press against it. Otherwise, a pretty decent shirt.

Excellent!

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap

Outdoor Research Sun Runner Cap

Rating for this product: 5 November 17, 2008

This cap/hat is perfect for rafting on the river, hiking, and is lightweight, very comfortable, and blocks out all the sun off of your ears and neck. It's very versatile in that you can change up the neck flap depending on whether you want more or less coverage. Great on the water, dries fast, great for hiking for excellent sun protection. Highly recommended.

great active short

Arc'teryx Rampart Long Short - Women's

Arc'teryx Rampart Long Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 September 25, 2008

Love this short! Does NOT ride up, yet it's a lower rise, and is very comfortable as it has stretch. Great for hiking and climbing..very flatterting fit for a long short, too. Doesn't make you look manly. Sizing is true to fit as well

The North Face Vaporwick Minya V T-Shirt - Women's

The North Face Vaporwick Minya V T-Shirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 August 30, 2007

Liked the idea of this shirt being super lightweight at first and how it was described; however, when I actually received it, it was so thin that it felt as if it was going to fall apart. A little rubbing from the pack and it would tear..a little too fragile for me

Helly Hansen Fire Technical T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Helly Hansen Fire Technical T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 27, 2007

This top not only fits well and complements the body, but is very comfortable, dries quickly and has excellent arm hole openings, so when you're sweating up a storm while hiking, your pits don't get nasty. Good air flow. Great under a pack as well. Swam in lakes with this shirt and it dried very quickly and did not stink after all that, either. An excellent choice.

Columbia Karma T-Shirt - Women's

Columbia Karma T-Shirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 27, 2007

This top was airy and the arm holes were large enough to air out your pits (no sweat!). Dried and wicked very well and has the added plus of the UPF sun protection. Great under a pack and flattering fit. Great colors, too. I went on a 10 mile day hike where I sweat a ton, and this top kept me dry and comfortable. Highly recommended.

The best active pant ever!

Mountain Hardwear Winter Wander Pant - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Winter Wander Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 27, 2007

I have several pairs of this pant, and am bummed that Mountain Hardwear discontinued it. It was the best all-around pant there was out there. Thank goodness this site has some left!! I've used this pant for multiple sports...hiking, rock climbing, trekking, etc. It can handle it all. Durable fabric that is thicker than most but yet it moves with you as it has a stretch component, so you don't feel restricted at all reaching for that toe hold, etc. Kept me warm on winter climbs and to top it all off, has a very flattering fit. This is the best pant ever!

Mountain Hardwear Ellinor Capri Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 27, 2007

Got this pant for climbing and hiking/trekking, and it has done the job very well. Shorter, capri length excellent for climbing or for hotter hiking days, has a very flattering fit, and moves with your body. Highly recommended to any active woman who wants comfort with the added plus of a flattering fit.

Great quality

The North Face Momentum Shirt  - Women's

The North Face Momentum Shirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 15, 2007

This fleece serves a dual purpose, which is ideal for varying weather conditions. I wore it as a base layer on a super-cold day, and it kept me warmer than a Hot Chilly's base layer. I also used it as a 2nd layer underneath a Hot Chilly's base, and the combo of the two was phenomenal. Lightweight without the bulk.

Rating for this product: 4 January 15, 2007

I used this WindStopper for both snowboarding and rock climbing. It's lightweight and with a warm base layer underneath, it kept my core warm and not effected by wind at all.
