trekking poles rock!

LEKI Carbonlite Antishock Trekking Poles - 1 Pair

Rating for this product: 5 September 22, 2008

I tried a pair of these for the first time on a grueling 42 mile hike with 12K of elevation gain. I had never used hiking poles before but I was so glad I had them. They helped me so much on the uphill and also when I was getting woozy and clumsy from altitude and fatigue. Waht's nice abou the Leki's is that hte inside webbing straps on the handles had a nice soft lining so my wrists didn't get all chafed.

backcountry's cocona trail socks - sweet

Backcountry.com Cocona Trail Sock - 3 Pair

Rating for this product: 5 August 15, 2008

I had no problems like the other poster described and I really put these socks to the test in a 24 hour race, of which I was on my feet constantly. They held up very well, did not get stinky and I have since done some really long 20+ mile hikes in them with no problems. I love the fit, they tend to make your shoes fit a little better with their light padding/cushioning. cute goat on the back too.

The North Face Vaporwick Featherlight Crew Shirt - Short Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 July 30, 2008

I love the fit and the feel of this shirt. I love the length...I find a lot of tech tees to be short and wide. I have it in green and white and even though the white is see through, it doesn't really matter if you're wearing a sports bra . I love that it looks like a regular tee even thoguh it's not cotton.

Ultimate Direction Fastdraw Plus Water Bottle

Rating for this product: 5 July 28, 2008

I've searched high and low for hydration to take with me on those hot long summer runs, and this has been the best. Very comfortable in my hand, nice little pocket to carry gels or shotblocks and the strap is adjustable, so you can make it nice and tight so you don't have to grip the bottle really tightly.

soo jealous of my sister's bag

Big Agnes Ethel Sleeping Bag: 0 Degree Down - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 June 12, 2008

I backpacked the Tetons with my 2 sisters and she had this bag. She raved so much about her Big Agnes that it was almost like we had a fourth person on the trip, named Agnes. When she gets the sleeping pad inflated and the bag set up in the tent, her bed looks so comfortable and plush, making my little mummy bag look completely pathetic and was dwarfed by Agnes. the bag was really roomy for her too and she could sleep in the fetal position easily while I was limited to one position in my bag.

DC Judge Snowboard Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 June 9, 2008

these are just okay. I don't like how the DC boots have such a huge volume that they look like moon boots and don't fit in bindings that well. The outer shell is very wide and could be a lot less like a moon boot. I found the inner lace system was hard to get tight enough and then the little plastic piece would lock up so it made them hard to get off.

really cute

these are a great, universally flattering pair. not too big that you look like a nicole ritchie wannabe but big enough to shade your eyes completely and keep you from squinting. I've worn them for running in and they work well, but would not be good for cycling. I mostly like these just for around town but they work in a pinch for sports.

Fox Diva Bike Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

Man, I loved these so much right out of the package. They are sooo cute, and I wanted a cute pair of baggies for mountain biking in. The design is really cute, the pockets are great with the no show zippers and seaming and the fabric is a really nice, water shedding microfiber. unfortunately, I ordered the samll and it wasn't small enough. there is velcro tabs on the waist to adjust but then it ended up being to baggy for my 5'3" 115 pound frame :(

Oakley Trail Bike Jersey - Short Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

When you're all covered in sweat and mud sometimes it's nice to have a girly shirt to feel, well, like a girl. Plus it's fun to pass the boys while you are wearing pink. This shirt fits an athletic body nicely and has great wicking properties. i like that the bottom hem is loose because it lets heat escape better than those jersies that are tight around the waist.

Petzl Grigri Belay Device

Rating for this product: 4 May 28, 2008

This is a great device for taking newbies climbing. i love the picture on the grigri that illustrates which way to feed the rope. i don't personally like it as a lead climber though, when I need rope in a hurry and the thing locks up as I try to yank the rope up! But it functions as designed. i find it a little bulky for multipitch climbing since you have to have your ATC with you anyways, it becomes an extra piece.

Black Diamond Superslacker Rope Bag - 1831 cu in

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

this is so easy to use that you won't even mind having rope duty after climbing that all day multipitch climb. The trap is nice and big and doubles as a windblocker if you are stuck belaying and are freezing cold. I'm such a gaper when it comes to rope management but this bag makes it easy. two differently colored tabs so you can decide on which one is for hte bottom of the rope and which is for the top.

Montrail Hurricane Ridge XCR Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

These shoes perform like crazy. I felt no fear stomping over jagged rocks, uneven terrain, or loose scree. The exterior of the shoe protects the sides of your feet as well and the low profile meant I never rolled my ankle! Unfortunately they were too narrow in the toe box area, and I need a wide toe box. Customer service was awesome about taking my shoes back even though I had worn them to try them out.

Chaco Z/1 Unaweep Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

I look forward every year to the day when it is warm enough for me to wear my chacos. you can wear these forever because they are supportive and they have great traction. i love to have them with me after climbing and even haul them up multi pitch climbs with me when i know it's goign to be a long downclimb and I don't want to trash my climbing shoes.

Cloudveil Koven Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 12, 2008

I also found these to be a lot higher in the waist than i am used to but boy does it keep the snow out nicely. I like the fabric. I got them in an XS because they fit my waist and leg length perfectly but they are a little too close to the skin so I get a little cold. I think if I had sized up they would be perfect.

Patagonia R1 Flash Pullover - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 May 12, 2008

really comfy next to skin and warm! i use mine for running and snowboarding as a layer. My only beef with it is that it is hard to put other layers over it because the fabric tends to cling to the other layers so i look for a more slippery layer or a heavy fleece to wear with it. I wear about 4 layers though. It's a top quality piece and I own at least 3.
