Must have for cold runs

Under Armour EVO Coldgear Print Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Under Armour EVO Coldgear Print Crew Shirt - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2012

Flashy top! My wife's favorite top for the cold weather runs. There is no longer a need to layer in bulk for the cold temps (30 and below). She is 5'7, 140 pounds and wears a medium. It is a form fitting shirt, but doesn't constrain as she runs. Definitely a keeper.

New Balance MT20 Minimus Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 August 1, 2011

I normally wear a 9.5 to 10. I ordered the ten. These are very snug. I think they would get very uncomfortable after a few miles. I will probably go up to at least a 10.5 - maybe even an 11 before trying to run. They look like a fun shoe though. I can't wait to get out in them...

Good Jacket for snowboarders

Spyder Armageddon Jacket - Boys'

Spyder Armageddon Jacket - Boys'

Rating for this product: 5 March 7, 2011

My son wears this jacket for snowboarding. He is 100 pounds and almost 5 ft, Medium build. Size 16 is a good fit. The quality of the coat is great for boys who are rough on clothes. He will be able to get a couple of season of use. The jacket is unique and colorful and he is easily found on the mountain. Definitely a warm coat.

Awesome Pictures

GoPro  HD HERO Naked

GoPro HD HERO Naked

Rating for this product: 5 March 7, 2011

This camera is a great buy. My son has used it for snowboarding. The chest mount harness doesn't work the best for snowboarders, because you would only get a side view. The helmet mount was a better fit. However, the camera did not hold with original adhesive but was reinforced with a stronger adhesive and hasn't fallen off.
The editing of photos and videos on your computer are straight forward. You can easily publish to YouTube and take frame shots. Not a lot of voice recording is captured, but the pictures are great. Captures pictures that I wouldn't normally get.

Sanuk Vagabond Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 29, 2010

These things are awesome! I wasn't sold on the look at first, but once I put them on any style concern I had went out the window. These are way too comfortable. I wouldn't wear them for anything active, but for kicking around the house, about the office, or strolling through the neighborhood this is the footwear of choice. Also, they really are kind of a warm weather thing; snow, ice, rain and so on aren't so awesome in them.

Rating for this product: 4 November 6, 2009

I like these socks quite a bit. Very soft, comfortable, breathable, All good stuff. Why only 4 stars then? After one wash the tops of the socks seemed a bit bigger than they were before and didn't quite fit as well. I will continue to wear these, but in the future I will probably be buying the same sock only this time with the upper.

Second pair of these shoes. Once they have been worn until they won't stay on my feet anymore (not actually sure how long that will actually take because the last ones went for more than a year before they disappeared) I will replace them with another pair of Salomons. Awesome shoes - get some!

Salomon Impact Twinskin Tank - Women's

Salomon Impact Twinskin Tank - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2009

This was a very form fitting tank. Did not get any chaffing underarms (usually do even with Glide) Loved the material, loved the fit, loved that the bra is self adjusting however, not a lot of support with inner bra. Material is very Definitely would need to wear a sports bra for added support. Loved the tomato red color. I like my tanks to be a little longer. I am 5'7" and 145 pounds.

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2009

This skort fit like a running short, but has the cute skirt over top. I have never run in a running skirt so it was different to have extra material on top of my shorts. But couldn't tell a difference between shorts and a skirt. the shorts did not move during the run Loved the fit around my waist. Size down for compression.

This is a classic piece of clothing. First and foremost it is comfortable and warm. It fit just as I expected it to. But beyond that it draws attention. It has been the ice-breaker for many conversations. Get it! Form and function blended together for a reasonable price. How can you beat that?

Cutter Fuse Floor Pump

Cutter Fuse Floor Pump

Rating for this product: 5 February 24, 2009

OK, I admit, I am comparing this to a cheap plastic floor pump (that has outlasted a couple of friends more expensive "brand name" pumps), but this thing rocks! The valve adapter goes on/off easily, the pressure gauge is up high so it is easy to read, the air volume is pushes is awesome, there is a pressure release button to get the tire pressure "just right", and it feels like a solid well built piece of equipment.

Love the material. I am a bigger build and 145 pounds and a B/C cup size. I ordered a large. It was a tight fit, but I love the tight support. No movement at all. White and Lilac is super cute. The back closure give an added tightness.

CW-X Stabilyx Tight - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 9, 2009

I took up biking a few years back because running pounded my back and knees to the point where I couldn't enjoy it anymore. When I saw these I thought I would try them to see if they lived up to their promise and would allow me to get back on the road. I have worn these now to run, for skiing, and biking and haven't regretted the decision. They are a wonderful product and I will buy again when the time comes.

I bought these tights for running, but have used them for skiing too. Great compression and support around the knees and lower back. Wash well. i tend to overheat so so I wear them for winter running, even though they are 3/4. This is by far my favorite style of CW-X.

Oboz Ignition Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Oboz Ignition Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 22, 2008

I liked the innovative design of this shoe - a little hard to get on at first, but hugs the feet comfortably, and keeps all the trail gunk out pretty well. First time out on a relatively short run I got a blister on the arch of my left foot - but no problems since. There does seem to be a bit of a squeak when I walk in them - I think it is the lacing system - but this is minor and certainly not an issue on the trail. Over all a decent shoe that is a runner first and foremost with great foot support for the trail.

Montrail Continental Divide Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Montrail Continental Divide Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 April 22, 2008

The shoes seem well constructed and ready for plenty of abuse. However, if you are thinking of these shoes as a trail runner be cautious - they are a bit heavy for a running shoe (there are other much lighter trail shoes out there for about the same price) and they run a bit small on the sizing. If ordering again I would order at least 1/2 size, if not a full size bigger.
