Horny Toad Adagio Skirt - Women's

Horny Toad Adagio Skirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 20, 2011

PERFECT. A little over priced, but WORTH EVERY PENNY. It is soft, low maintenance and looks fabulous. I normally pull it on after a bike ride or you can dress it up. Very versatile skirt. Now if only they had more colors.

Marmot Venus Down Vest - Women's

November 18, 2010

Does anyone know if this runs small? I am ALWAYS an XS in Marmot, but this sizing chart says I would fall between a small and a medium (yet sizing charts aren't always right). The arm holes look kind of small too...
For example, the sizing chart is the same for the Marmot Ama Dablam jacket, and I have an XS - but my waist is bigger than 22-24 inches as the sizing chart states!
hmmmmmmmm

SmartWool Roundabout Tank Top - Women's

SmartWool Roundabout Tank Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 July 28, 2010

SOOOOOOO bummed this tank didn't fit. I pulled it out of the package and the color was gorgeous. I bought the blue print/heather stripe. It is more of a gray toned shirt, not so much blue and white. It's flattering. And I put it on and it was so nice and slinky - and soft. But the arm holes - GOOD GOD - they are huge. I am tiny... 5'3'', 105 lbs and I ordered a small.. and it looks great, except the huge arm holes. They were large in circumference and wide as well... if only they made an XS. BIG BUMMER. I have to send it back. :(

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Hooded Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Power Stretch Hooded Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 March 2, 2010

Pretty cool hoodie.. the hood doesn't fit quite as nicely as portrayed in the picture, but perhaps it's just my head. My one BIG gripe about this thing is that is was already fraying when I received it. I have worn it three times so far and it's piling everywhere as well. Not cool when you pay big money. I have bought three things from MH this year and all of them have let me down. I do not think MH is very good quality. Something shouldn't pill after wearing it three times. What is it going to look like after a few months?
I bought an XS and I am about 5'3'', 110 lbs. It fits great. Could be a little longer, but I only say that because I am use to long things. This is by no means short in the torso.

Icebreaker GT 260 Quantum Full-Zip Hooded Top - Long-Sleeve - Women's

January 29, 2010

I just received this top in the mail and love it... yet it's a tad big. Worried about it being a bit frumpy but I really can't take it off yet. :) Was wondering if anyone knew if this top is going to stretch out (cause if so, I need to return it STAT) or if I did put it in the dryer, would it shrink too much?

Rating for this product: 5 January 7, 2010

Absolutely.love.these.pants!
I can't take them off - I use them for everything - hanging out, yoga, lifting weights, and I am sure in the summer they will be used for even more!
I have a size small and they do run a little large, but it's kind of a nice break from butt hugging yoga capris. :) If they came in XS, I would have probably ordered another pair in XS as well. I am about 110 lbs, 5'3'' if that helps.
Now just waiting for someone to return the redwood color so I can snatch them up... :)

does anyone have experience with the sizing of these clogs? the sizing chart just compares sizes with other countries. I remember the keen timberline clog - last year - and they ran small. Same thing this year?

The North Face Abby II Winter Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 9, 2009

These boots are fabulous looking. But was wondering if anyone else had a problem with the heel? When I walk in them, the heel slouches and the leather bends in towards my heels. It's a funny feeling. But then again, I am wondering if they are too big? I specifically talked to someone on backcountry.com chat and they gave me the exact measurements for a size 6, 6.5, and 7 boot. Well, I bought the 6.5, because my foot measures around 9" and that is what I was told would fit best.
I am soooooooooooooooooooo frustrated with the sizing charts being WRONG. I have wasted so much money sending things back and reordering. Argh. So, measure your foot - stand on a ruler, and if it's around 9" get a size 6. I do not want to deal with returning these and am going to deal with a floppy heal, but a piece of me is burning inside because they are $165.

Columbia Galaxy Groove Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 7, 2009

I gave this item 4 stars, because I returned it and therefore have not tried them out, but plan on ordering at another time (if there is any left). These pants are actually super cute - subtle design. Good for those who want to pants with spunk but don't want to stick out like a sore thumb. These are definitely just a shell, so you will need to layer up those legs. I am about 5'3'' and 110lbs and I ordered a small. I returned them because I was swimming in them. I think an XS would work fine for me.

Rating for this product: 5 December 2, 2009

This jacket is super cute and soft. Love the pinching around the pockets. But according to the size chart, order down! I am about 5'3'' and 110lbs and ordered a small and now I am exchanging it for an XS. North face has been back and forth with their things lately it seems. Their super fuzzy mossbud line I need a size small in, but apparently other things I need an XS.
Order before they are all gone!

prAna Madison Lined Pant - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 November 13, 2009

These pants have a super awesome concept... flexibility, comfort, warmth... but not so flattering. If you prefer all of those characteristics and don't care too much for fashion, you might like these. I was kind of bummed... the lining inside is super cute but just not for me. The legs seemed a bit tapered and my butt looked twice as big as it should be.

Ibex Woolies 150 Crew Stripe Top - Women's

Ibex Woolies 150 Crew Stripe Top - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 October 27, 2009

I forgot how awesome Ibex feels - it's slinky and slips over your body. Not to mention - SUPER WARM! :) This shirt is super super cute. It seems to stretch out (I have owned it less than a week and it is already stretched out) and it seems to pill a little. So if you are on the border of sizes, I would go down. And I would order 100 more of these tops because they feel so nice, but the piling part really is a turn off...

Acorn Boa Bootie Slipper - Women's

Acorn Boa Bootie Slipper - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 October 27, 2009

These slippers make me giddy if you are the kind of person who likes fuzzy things! Super cute - and I love that they are higher. I used the cm measurements on the sizing chart to get the correct size. If I would've went by the top sizing chart, I would've ordered a Medium and they would've been too big. I am a true 6.5 and I ordered a small.
The reason why I give these 4 stars is because I have owned them for less than a week and a piece of the fuzzy part already ripped away from the slipper. I don't know how... it's not even in a spot where there is stress from bending the feet or rubbing.

Patagonia Primo Down Jacket - Women's

Patagonia Primo Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 October 9, 2009

This jacket is great. Super cute fit for the ladies, fits over the helmet (hard to find!), and is filled with goose down. I am always a cold person and I thought this jacket would do. I kept buying and buying different ski jackets, but always just ended up wearing my marmot goose down jacket(not good when skiing through trees = torn jacket). When I found this jacket, I thought this would be the end of me constantly trying different ski jackets, but I still find this jacket COLD. I have to layer up. I am still considering to this day to return it and just buy a shell...
Fit is true to size. And length is great for not showing any ass or getting snow up you when eating it hard (powder skirt too).

Patagonia Primo Down Jacket - Women's

October 9, 2009

I have this jacket in white and surprisingly, it is very easy to keep clean. We were tailgating at the mountain and I got bbq grease all down the front of my coat. I got home and didn't have time to scrub it, so I quick put it in the washer machine just so that it would have some soap on it! I took it out of the machine, expecting to do more work - but NO, it was super clean! You can dry it too - just put tennis balls in the dryer with it.

not so stealthy

Sugoi Breeze Cycling Short - Women's

Sugoi Breeze Cycling Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 April 1, 2009

I normally bike with spandex biking shorts and just regular workout shorts over them. All the bike shorts I have bought with an attached chamois in them - I have not had good luck with. This one says stealthy chamois... it feels like I am wearing a diaper. Looks ok on, maybe it's cause the shorts are black so things are hidden, yet feels - like I said before - I am wearing a diaper. I will keep them - they will do the job. And I am sick of sending things back after shopping on the internet! :)
For sizing tip - I used the sizing chart which said I am a Small, yet I could easily use an XS. Unfortunately, there are no XS, but my advice to you is to size down. Good luck.

The North Face Baffin Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 2 January 13, 2009

this is the second time i have ordered a ski jacket from backcountry.com and i want to return it! the first one was also a NF. neither one keeps me warm. I always end up wearing my marmot 650 down puffy jacket to ski in. i live in a ski resort town so i ski a lot and i am hoping what i order for the 3rd time will be a charm!
when i have layers on underneath this jacket, it doesn't zip all the way up - unless you like to feel like you are being choked! it's not very warm, yet the sizing is typical NF sizing. whatever you normally wear in NF, order it in this jacket if you want this jacket!
i am 5'3'' 105lbs and i wear an XS! good luck!

Rating for this product: 3 August 12, 2008

Not a huge fan, infact I might just be returning this seat shortly. Ugh. I have never tried Fizik before and I was told it was a fabulous seat. I have adjusted, readjusted and adjusted this seat before and during every ride. Still not satisfied. I have recently put back on my old bike seat and this Fizik one is sitting in the box, but I am going to give it one more shot. It's just weird with a flat shape and it really hurt my you know what. I could bike forever on my old seat with no chamois and still be comfy but with this seat I was a bit sore after every ride. Not sure if this info will be helpful to anyone, but also keep in mind, everybody is different...
I ride A LOT so perhaps it would be better for someone who is a more leisure rider...

this dress is SUPER cute. i expected it to be SHORT, like a beach cover up, but it hits me an inch or two above my knees! it is very versatile, can be worn with jeans, by itself, for a beach cover up and probably as a skirt if you adjusted it just right (i haven't tried that yet). i ordered an XS and held my breath also thinking it might be a little too small, but it isn't. i am about 5'3'' and 110lbs if that helps... i plan on wearing it to a beach wedding!

this jacket makes me speechless! it is so warm. I never had a puffy coat before this and I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT. It is so lightweight that I even take it camping with me during the summer for those cold mornings at high altitude. It's waterproof so you can ski with it too. I am a preschool teacher who spends a lot of time outside, so needless to say, it' super versatile!
