Started riding these thing this summer and I am in love. The tread pattern is phenomenal. These eat loose accents for breakfast and long winding decents for lunch and the price allows for dinner at the end of the day. I have ripped the side wall on two of them so far, which is the only reason for the 4 starts rather than 5.

Headed out.....for a long time? No space for extra batteries? Snag one of these and roll out.

This thing rips as a tech piece, but is swank enough to hit your favorite dive after you limp back to town 45 minutes after the sun sets.

This thing is prime. If you need a nice subtle piece of wrist candy, this is the one. The watch is pretty substantial, no light weight cheap o here.

These are a must for any one who likes to cover any distance. Trail runners, adventure racers and weekend warriors alike will be able to take advantage of these. Weather you are trying to soldier through the last ten miles with those blister laden feet or going for a little preventative maintenance. these are a must for any medical kit.

I picked up this top and it is now one of my favorites in the rotation. It keeps your torso nice and cool in hot desert conditions. I suggest the orange shade it's high visibility for ridding or running on the road.

I run the heck out of this thing. Mesh tops always seem itchy to me but not this one it's soft a silk.

These things are wicked! I love mine to death. The one word of warning is to pick up 1/2 SIZE LARGE, this is very important. They are narrow in the toe box. I lost a nail with my first pair because they were too small.

I took this into Coyote gulch outside of escelante for 3 days and it worked very well, even after putting it through some pretty rough conditions. The pockets are placed well. The nalgene pockets have their own hideaway pockets when you are not using them. The zippers are BULLET PROOF so don't be afraid to over stuff this bad boy.

I have laid my road bike over 3 times this summer either riding to or from work and this thing has saved my butt....literally. As may hits as it has taken I have never hurt my lap top and it is still in great shape.

This thing has become quite common these days. It seems to perform equally well in the front country as well as the back country (if you don't mind a few extra pounds.

This shoe is too soft for the trail unless it is smooth flat single track. I own these shoes and use them exclusively on the road. They perform very well for the road but are not high performers on the trail.

If I could have one trail shoe for life it would be these. I am on my second pair and they rock. I did bust the lacing system on my first pair hiking out of the Grand Canyon but I replaced them with a standard pair of laces and wore them for another 6 months.

These things are fantastic. If long trail runs are what you are into, these are for you. Blisters become a thing of the past; plus, after your run they fit right into your Chaco Z2's.

You really do get what you pay for. These are incredibly comfortable. This sole is great for scrambling on the slickest of rock yet they perform equally well on the river, this is because the sole channels the water very well.

These skis are incredible. It would be hard to find such a large ski with such precision. I am riding the 185's, they are so crisp. I have them mounted with Naxo N21's and did not touch any of my other skis after I bought these. They work great on everything, groomers, ice, powder, back country. Try to find terrain that these can't handle and I will be surprised.

When I bought these I was afraid they would not climb as well as the ascensions, if this is in fact the case, it is hard to tell. They climb extremely well and are super lite. If you roll lite and fast, then this is your skin.

If you are going to buy one piece of rain gear this season, if it were any lighter, you would sacrifice waterproofing and breath ability.

This boat rocks! Super fast in flat water and handles well in choppy water as well. The rudder helps when conditions get windy. One draw back is that the boat is a bit narrow, maybe too narrow for larger paddlers.

If you are looking to save a lite weight and maybe a few dollars, this paddle is the one. Way cheaper that most other carbon paddles. If cash is your only concern, you may want to go with fiber glass.
