I'm sure it's been said before but these shoes are skinny, skinny, SKINNY. I knew this going into buying the shoes but I was hoping with an insert or some time of...stretching them out or something? Anyways, they were AWESOME shoes. Waterproof, well-made, durable, and the oxide and black pretty sweet. Hopefully Salomon will start coming out with wider shoes. Oh well...looking at the Vasque Blurs and banking on the fact that Vasques typically have a wider toe-box.

Waterproofed these bad boys and took 'em with me this past weekend. Took a hike through thicket and really put them to the test. Everyone else's gloves were catching on thorns and soaking through and mine stayed bone dry and pricker free. Held up to rain, chainsaw work, and hiking. Dig these gloves. Highly recommended.

Wow, can't say enough about these boots. I love the feel, love the look, and love the durability. Make sure you keep the leather conditioned (maybe this is obvious to most people). I found a little crack in my left boot when I let them dry out too much (maybe a few months of neglect). Waterproofing leaves my feet dry and not overheated. The boots take a bit to break in but now they feel great. I wore them the whole weekend last week and they left my feet feeling fresh. I'll be buying the same boot after I wear these out. I have a feeling that will take a while!

Perfect for a no frills compass. It's exactly what I need it for: show me what direction I'm facing. Works like a charm.

Great harness. Comfortable, easy to get on, easy off and the charcoal looks pretty sharp, too! Best harness for the cash.

Love this pack. Took it down to the Hocking Hills this past weekend and it worked great. Two changes of clothes, sweatshirt, and a fleece. TONS of utility straps and loops, many of which are reinforced. The stretchy pocket on the front held a pair of slide-on shoes and the port hole on the bottom of the pocket prevented the stink from building up too much. It's not listed in the specs but both sides have stretchy pockets as well. Perfect for GPS, knife, map, compass, or flask :) I could take this pack out for two and probably three days with plenty of room for supplies. Nice and light and the waist and sternum straps ride comfortably. Dig this pack. I'd recommend it to anyone.

I just got back from a camping trip that got down to the single digits. The only problem I encountered was the fact that the auto-ignite would fail sometimes at very cold temperatures (in the morning and at night) or in windy conditions. Don't let that deter you from getting the stove. I had tested it a few times before I left at my house and it fired up first time every time. You can't beat the price. I'd buy this stove again in a heart beat. Helped perc some good coffee that kept me nice and warm!
