I've been hiking barefoot around the Wasatch and Southern Utah and it's been an amazing experience. Strengthening muscles that haven't been used properly my whole life and simply enjoying bi-pedal motion more. I decided to start trail-running again and wanted to find a barefoot shoe that could protect my feet without too much coddling. These trail gloves are it. Wear em without socks and take it easy if you haven't been doing anything barefoot. These shoes require a different stride and running technique. If you haven't been practicing, expect to start off very slow, but get excited for less knee pain and more fulfilling trail runs down the road.

I finally found my binding. Riding everywhere and anywhere is my game and the Force is the first binding that I've fallen in love with. Super responsive, extremely bomber hardware, lightweight, and comfortable. If you ride everything, then you should use the Force.

These shoes are super warm. I wear them around Park City, UT all winter and always stay comfortable and on my feet. The tread is excellent.

prAna is a brand that I can't get away from. If I had my way, I'd own everything they make. I have a few of their hoodies, pants, and shirts... They're all the most comfortable pieces I own, hands-down. prAna knows whats up when it comes to comfort. Do you?

My favorite hoody ever. Nuff said.

Great set of compact binoculars for route-finding or watching the birds. I've often use it for both and the quality of focus is great for what I need

This hammock has been amazing to have around. I don't always find a place to hang it, but I always have it with me and whenever it's possible, I take advantage. Love sleeping in this on warm summer nights.

I've used this poncho for 4 years now and have never been disappointed. Great for covering yourself and a pack when a storm rolls through. I use it as my go-to rain gear and while I'd like to get a shell jacket and pant, this poncho has kept me dry in all the environments Utah has to offer.

This axe will do everything you need it to do. The knife in the handle is nice to have, especially when you forget to bring another.

I'm not counting grams and this stainless kit is perfect. Have had for 2 years and no signs of deterioration.

This headlamp does everything it needs to do. I have a hard time remembering to charge it, but I keep it around for emergency use when all of the batteries die. If you want the panel to charge more than the lamp, you need adapters which are sold separately

I have used this nomad for 3 years now. I bought it as a mountain biking hydration pack that had enough room for my pump, tubes, food, and more but have used it just as much on day hikes and desert adventures. Plenty of room for a days worth of food, water, and tools of whatever activity you're pursuing. One of the zippers broke off this year but I've beat this pack up and have no complaints.

I have 3 of these and they are my go-to headlamps for car-camping, backpacking, and playing in the desert. While there are more powerful headlamps in existence, I have never been wanting for extra power. The Tactikkaplus is a solid workhorse. The red flip-down is awesome for times where you want to maintain your nightvision or are with a group and don't want to blind everyone else around the fire.

This bag is ideal for mixed conditions and use. The synthetic fill and DWR coating are a killer combination for wet conditions where down could get wet and fail. I've had this bag for 3 years and have used it in alpine environments above 10k feet and in the high desert. The 30 degree rating stands true if you don't run abnormally hot or cold. When the mercury is right around 30 degree I normally sleep in my socks, a light hoodie or t-shirt, and run-of-the-mill sweatpants.

This pad works best with my big agnes bag that has a pocket for it. It's great in warm weather and extremely comfy. It's easy to roll off of when it's not contained in my big agnes pouch and that gets annoying when car-camping but the compact size is great for backpacking.

These shorts are great for trail riding, up or down. I've put these through a few hundred miles of Utah singletrack and couldn't ask for a better short. Comfortable, breathable, and extremely durable

I've worn these while hiking, biking, and running. Anywhere from high-alpine wasatch adventures to high-desert excursions. They also work great for the day-to-day.

This is an awesome fleece for lounging around, hiking on a crisp fall day, etc, etc., etc.. Its not a havey duty fleece and you will need to combine this with a jacket during the winter(depending on where you reside) but the North Face Pumori fleece will be a prefect cool weather choice for all your needs.

These shades are killer for anyone with a medium to large sized face. The visual clarity is amazing, way less distortion than I'm used to. The lens coverage is a large factor in this and they also block out the wind very well. Stupid easy to change the lenses in the glasses too, takes a few seconds. If you ride a bike these will make your life a whole lot easier. Next time you find yourself on the top of some huge hill after dark just pop in your other lenses and go. No more punishing your eyes for your sunglasses' lack of multiple lenses!

Just tore up the bobsled trail with my new attack jersey and it was well worth the cash. Made the climb from popperton all the way up dry gulch and was overdressed for the weather. This jersey kept me cool in the baking sun on a long, sometimes painful, climb. The sunglass wipe is so clutch..Its on the inside of the right, front, bottom, section of the jersey and super easy to use/very effective. No scratches on my new lenses and sweat free vision all day! Sweet lookin jersey too!

awesome

If you're looking for a lightweight tent/shelter this is definitely the way to go. Very easy to set up. You stake down the 6 corners, open up the door, put the pole into place and tighten up the straps on the stakes. You can also hang it from a solid branch/anything overhead and forget about the pole all together. You'll want to buy the nest that is available for the shelter. If you purchase the floor it does not completely seal off the outside world and some bugs may get in. You can avoid this by lining the outside of the tent with rocks if you can't find the nest in stock anywhere. There is plenty of room for 2 people with the pole, 3 would be a bit cramped. Without the pole you won't have a problem fitting 3 people in there. The hex shape of the tent holds up extremely well in high winds and I sat through a heavy rainstorm without any leakage. Overall I'm extremely happy with this tent and recommend it to anyone who wants a lightweight backpacking shelter that is simple to set up and performs as well as a tent twice it's weight.

This headlamp is perfect if you don't need the brightest one in the world. For camping/hiking/climbing its perfect. While it may not be the brightest headlamp out there I find it more than adequate for all my needs. The red lens flips up very easily and is an option that I feel all headlamps should be required to have. You just don't need the regular light option in most situations and it is very annoying when someone blinds me with their white light while I'm trying to maintain my night vision. The battery pack issue others complain about is not an issue if you put the batteries in correctly. They aren't the easiest to put in but you just have to make sure everything is clipped in and your batteries will not fall out. It might take you a minute or so to put them in correctly, a very small price to pay considering the great functionality of this headlamp.

This is an incredible bag for the price. The mix of down and primaloft keeps you warm, dries out quickly, and gives you that comfort of down loft that other synthetic bags lack. The outer shell is very durable and stands up to a ton of abuse. You'll definitely need to get a pad for this one. Big agnes doesn't insulate the bottom of their bags because they have a sleeve for a pad to go there. They do this because insulation on the bottom of a bag is severely reduced when you lay on top of it and really isn't necessary. You also can't roll off your sleeping pad which is the biggest pro in my book. I would recommend the Big agnes insulated REM pad. This adds insulation the bottom of the bag and insures that the cold ground won't get to you.

These shoes are great for hiking in warm weather, the ventilation is just amazing. It also helps when you have to pass through bodies of water, they dry out super fast. Very comfortable shoes, I wear them around town just as much as I hike in them. If they get too grungy you can just throw them in the washing machine, they are machine washable! Make sure to air dry them though, definitely don't want them in the dryer. Oh yeah, I would recommend going down a half size on these. I'm normally an 11.5 on the nose and an 11 would be perfect. You will not be disappointed in these as a hiking or casual shoe.

Wasn't sure what to expect when I picked these up. I got the deep lichen color, it's always hit or miss with color patterns like that and this was definitely a hit. They're super comfortable and look great. The vibram soles have great grip too. By far one of the top five most comfortable casual shoes I've ever owned.

I've always been a big fan of the style and fit of Spy's glasses and these are no exception. These are very comfortable glasses that stay in place when you need them too. They'd be great for running, biking, etc. They have a really nice matte black finish and the hinges are a gunmetal grey and not a chrome, light in the picture is a bit misleading. The polarized lenses are great while driving or on the water. If you like catching glare in your eyes definitely don't get the polarized lenses but if you don't like those stabbing rays of light these are the ticket.

This shade was extremely easy to set up and take down. Will only take about 5 minutes either way. Does a great job of blocking out the sun and rain. Had this set up in about 20-30 mph winds and it looked like it wanted to go once or twice but didn't pull out, only had 3 stakes down instead of the 6 that it comes with. If you're going to get into some serious wind you'll want to use all the stakes. No complaints. Very high quality and easy to use shelter.

Have had the malamutes for the past 3 seasons now. Sick freeride boots, boot won't lose any of its stiffness, and super comfortable with the custom fit liners. Lacing system is very easy to use, and the tread on the boot makes them great for hiking up that gnarly ice covered boot pack. Only complaint is they don't interface right with my Burton C60s and I have to get a different boot, if that weren't the case I wouldn't look anywhere else for a really responsive/comfy freeride boot.

Just got the 164 and I don't think I'll ever be happy on another board. Insanely fast board, killer pop, and burly stainless steel edges keep you in control down the most bumpy/icy groomers you can find. Had it out in the pow for a day or two, waitin for another storm, and it handled like a dream. Couldn't be happier with this setup, def try and go with the C60s if you can afford them, they're worth it. Its hand made too!

So nice not having my ear buds getting shoved into my brain anymore. Sound on these is great. Wore them on a pow day or two already, got everything nice and wet, including my cell phone, and they were still rockin out. Main thing I was worried about too, these things hold up great when they get wet and the cell phone link is real easy to use. Just press a button when a call is coming in, music will cut out and you just talk through a mic in the volume adjuster, real simple. Def worth the money.
