Here it is cooking up some good grub. I highly recommend this pot, light and boils water fast, but also allows for slow cooking.

Not quite so

Helly Hansen Sunflake Jacket - Women's

Helly Hansen Sunflake Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 December 1, 2010

Bought the jacket for my wife and will be sending it back. As she put it "it has a very fat fit". The video posted is nice and I wish it was up when we made the purchase. The pictures made it hard to see that the sides were white, which really doesn't look that great and it is not nearly as pink in person. She did like the snow guard as it was very tight and stayed below the butt. One other HUGE bummer was that it does NOT have wrist gaiters as stated on the description.

So while the material is great for the price it does leave a few things to be desired in fit and features.

Contour ContourHD 1080p Wearable Camcorder

March 2, 2010

There is some vibration issues with the goggle mount. I would suspect that with a full face moto style helmet it would be much reduced. You can always duct tape the goggle and mount to the helmet. It makes the video very smooth. I just posted a full review a bit ago.

Good but some things left to be desired

Contour ContourHD 1080p Wearable Camcorder

Contour ContourHD 1080p Wearable Camcorder

Rating for this product: 4 March 2, 2010

What really matters is the video quality. The camera does a great job in recording video. All the modes are useful and work as stated. The record button is pretty fantastic. It just slides forward which is very nice but you have to be careful not to pop the back cover off when pushing the switch. It works great while skiing/snowboarding with gloves on. I built up a little duct tape nub on the rec button to make the operation easier with gloves on.

Vibration issues are very, very bad with the goggle mount on a typical snowboard/ski helmet. I went ahead and duct taped the mount and my strap to my helmet and it resolves the issue (but you can't take off your goggles).

Battery life is pretty good and extra batteries are cheap. Unfortunately you only can recharge them one at a time which is a pain when both are used up and need to be ready for the next day. I find that while on the slopes I get about 3 hours of record time with the camera being on the whole time and recording on the runs down, stop recording while riding the lift. With 2 batteries you can make it through a typical day on the slopes.

The Easy Edit software is a joke and is horrible. You have to have it installed to make any changes to the settings on the camera and to update the firmware. Changing the settings is pretty easy but very, very, very inconvenient. If you have a laptop it is possible to have that with you in your car but it really doesn't help with on the fly changes. If you are out and it goes from sunny to cloudy to twilight there is no way to changes the settings for all the conditions and that can result in some poor quality video. As far as editing actual video it is best to pic up Adobe Premiere Elements or Ulead or Sony Vegas.

It is a very useful camera and it makes for some great POV footage or follow cam footage. Some things could be better but it is good for the price.

Columbia Benton Springs Full-Zip Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 March 2, 2010

I bought it for my wife in the M size and it is not at all shaped like a womens body. It was really baggy and looked very bad. It did not fit under a shell jacket very well for her. On the plus side it fits me great and I really like it and it fits under my jackets really well. And for $17 I will not complain to much.

I have been using Dragons for years and this is another great design. They are comfortable, soft, don't fog up, all around good. The lenses are also very easy to change.

Also it says they are not helmet compatible but I am not sure what bc.com means by that. They have worked with any Giro or Red helmet that I have owned.

Armada ARV Alpine Ski

March 6, 2009

I would mount core center. You would really have no reason to put them forward at all. I have mine at core center and they are great in pow, on groomers, ice, I used them in a race league last year for fun. You can still take them in the park for a few jumps and rails, riding switch is still easy on them. Core Center in my opinion.I think what he meant to say is right on the recommended line from the factory. cord center would ski horribly all mountain. I think the recommended mounting point is 5 or 7 cm back and is the way to goI agre with Ty. 2008-09 ARV midsole mark factory seting is -7cm from true center as an all mtn backcountry ski.(Measure tip to tail and divide by 2 to get true center - 185 / 2 = 92.5cm) do not go more than -5 the ski will be good for swicth and park but your backcountry ride may suffer.... Core center is typically where the recommended line is at. That is always the terminology that has been used in the ski shops I have worked at. Hence why I said core center. When you say cord center you must be inferring true center? which would indeed be very bad for all mountain. I have have mine at core center (-7 cm) as stated above.

It is light and bright. It is very adjustable, the brightness is adjustable also. It also comes with a belt clip and helmet clip. Being able to change it to red light is great for a late night trip in the woods. Great Buy.

Thule Parkway Hitch Carrier - 2 Bike

Thule Parkway Hitch Carrier - 2 Bike

Rating for this product: 4 August 7, 2008

It is a nice rack and does the job of holding two bikes like it says. I have been having problems with the clips at the top sliding back in forth while driving with the bikes on it (I fixed it buy using rubber bands as gaskets to stop the movement). If you have a small bike, like my wife has, it will be a tight fit on the rack. I find that the zip stick is very useful in keeping the bikes from swaying around. Bottom line is it works good for the price but there are better ones out there.
