This thing blows away the $30 competition. Brighter, longer lasting and more durable than the black diamond or peztel headlamps. Buy it...best headlamp under $40 that you will find.

Man I love this thing. Light, cheap, fits together like a dream, a lot of good usage. I dig how the carrying bag can double as a sort of wash bag or whatever. Super durable and just a top notch cooking set. Spork seems like it will break within the next few uses, but whatever, no biggie. Only complaint I have is my stove is supposed to fit inside, well it's not happening. I have the pocket rocket, and the set easily has enough room for a fuel canister and a shorter stove when put together, but the MSR pocket rocket is just to long to fit inside the bowl. I've tried multiple different ways to get that thing to fit inside, but it just won't happen. Certainly an annoying downside to the set considering I have a lot of room left for storage then the set is integrated, but I still have to find a case for my stove. Perfect set if pocket rockets could better fit inside, but close to perfect nonetheless.

Ok jacket but really not worth the price IMO. Waterproofing is adequate, very light jacket that is warm with the right layers. Burton AK clothing seems to be going downhill as of late, with the price doing the opposite. Had an AK jacket just about every year for the past 5-6 seasons, 2 of them had stitching problems(including last years cyclic), and after trying arc'teryx and oakley jackets I can say with confidence this will be the last AK I every buy. The Velcro cuffs Burton AK jackets have at the moments are garbage, don't count on the velcro sticking after 2+ days on the mountain. I would give this jacket 4-4.5 stars if it was priced around $200, but $300+ is a joke. MUCH better jackets out there.

Holy balls this thing is baggy. I usually wear a Medium in burton AK clothing at 5'11" 165 pounds, I ordered a small and it still might be to big for my taste. The arm and torso length are surprisingly good at my size with the small. **Just a notice to anyone buying this, Mystic small = Burton AK Medium, roughly.** Amazing jacket I must say though. I think the material is a little thick for me, but I'm just complaining, it's really no big deal. Magnets are a great idea in my opinion, especially the magnet holding down the hood. I have yet to use the jacket for snowboarding, but I have absolutely no doubts that it would be the perfect terrible(Or good...?) weather jacket. If you can find this thing on steepandcheap like I did, you better buy it, at $150 this is about the best deal you can come across.

Osprey packs are amazing but this pack is a POS. The model isn't bad, the new atmos packs are very good, but this years model is a bust. Large aluminum frame(I'm 6ft tall) dug into my shoulder blades regardless of the adjustment, some crazy uncomfortable straps that also dug into me neck. I've had 5 different osprey packs and I would give them all 10/10, this one deserves about a 3/10. Really no idea how this got through ospreys design team because it's just awful. Go out and buy the osprey talon instead, best...pack...ever.EDIT: I forgot, the back mesh panel basically traps all the heat inside like a small greenhouse because when the backpack is against your back, there is not a single place for the warm air to escape unlike the newer models. Ya, I'm not exaggerating on that. I am convinced that anyone who thinks this is a good pack has never tried on anything better than a school backpack. Oh, and good luck fitting 2300 CU IN in this thing...even if you somehow did, with the lightest equipment you could find, it would still be to much weight for the straps and frame.

A $5, 32 oz BPA free bottle that will never leak. Why would you not buy this?
It might not be all that attractive, but it's a water bottle, so who cares?

Nice pack, pretty cheap, almost completely waterproof, good looking. Really nice minimalist pack. Even packs down to the size of the naglene so I can put it in my backpacking pack, get camp established, then go out and use this thing as a daypack. Straps are of much higher quality than a $50 pack should have. The cierzo comes across as an extremely simple pack, but it is much more functional than expected.. I am still amazed at how comfortable it is. I have taken this pack swimming for about 120 seconds and I received about a half inch of water at the bottom of the pack. A little dissapointing considering it seems like everything but the top would be completely waterproof, but hey, still better than having my entire pack filled with water like everyone else did.
I would say the only downside is no compression straps. I realize it would add to the weight and make the pack much more difficult to roll up, but still. If the pack is only half full or so stuff will just fly around, and the pack becomes fairly uncomfortable. Still more than I would expect from a $50 pack. The one complaint I have is EASILY outweighed by all the features. Great buy.

Well, to start off, I am a dirt poor college student. I ordered this shirt a little while ago, and almost immediately regretted it because of the fairly high price tag. That is until I received it...Shirt fits amazing!!! I am around 5'11" 1/2 and about 162 pounds, bought the medium(170+ pounders definitely go for the large). Pretty tight fitting, especially around my chest. I have medium to big sized arms for my body size and the sleeves fit tight, but not uncomfortable. The thing I like most about the sleeves is they are longer than your average medium, I am extremely happy to avoid the short, uncomfortable sleeves that usually come with tight fitting shirts like this one. Fabric is amazing, breathes well, drys what seems like immediately and is the most comfortable article of clothing I own. I really cannot begin to express how glad I am I bought this shirt. In fact, if they had more colors in stock I would order a couple more! Definitely worth the $50 I spent.Oh and the blue color looks sick! Not nearly as vibrant as shown here on backcountry. Much more attractive in person.

Update - Just wore this on a 16 mile day hike in the zion narrows. Worked flawlessly, dried fast when needed. Complaint; I dislocated my shoulder on the last couple of miles, 6 1/2 hours later I am at the hospital and they have to cut the shirt off to get the shoulder back in. =(.....buying another when I get money.

Amazing stove. Other reviewers represent it well. Quite simply, I don't know how it could be any better. Easy 5 stars, every overnight hiker should own one, if not multiple pocket rockets.

I use this pack all the time. Used in southern utah/northern arizona. Back is pretty breathable, much more so than my 08 atmos(sucked). VERY light, VERY comforable, holds more than you would think a pack of this size would. Used it on a few 5-7 day backpacking trips, although a little low on space for the 7 days, it performed like a champ. I really could not recommend this pack enough. Easy 5 stars. I am actually making an hour drive tomorrow just so I can go and buy the smaller version of this pack, the talon 22. Blast backcountry! Get more in stock!

I would give this pack a 3.5 if possible. Pretty decent overall backpack, priced right I would say considering the bladder is included. Decent weight, very comfortable, good amount of storage space considering how small it packs down when the middle is zipped up. Not the most durable pack. Bought last Christmas and mine is starting to fray fairly bad in a few areas and won't last another year. My biggest complaint is the back panel's so called "air director". I've worn this thing quite a bit in Utah, and any temperature over 85 degrees and my back will be soaked with sweat. I rarely sweat otherwise. It does not breathe at ALL. No exaggeration, my burton pack made for snowboarding, with insulated back panels, is MUCH MUCH more breathable than this thing.
Overall I would say this is a pretty good pack. If you can get it for $60 or less I would say buy it. Avoid this thing at any cost if you hike/use in any temperature above 85 degrees.

Great bag for someone with a budget. Packs down really small, mine got down to about 6x5 inches with the included compression sack. Little nervous about the warmth, but after spending the night in it I have little doubts that it would make the 40 degrees mark if you are wearing a small layer. Really like the bag, there is no way the price/weight/warmth can be beat.

Tough bags that do exactly what they are made for. Bigger than I was expecting though. I received the #7 with the intent on using it for weekend trip clothes. It is huge! Wish I would've gotten the #6 or even the #5. Anyways, highly recommended!

Love the shoes, boa system is amazing. Look VERY cool, and the price of $74 that I got them for on SAC is amazing. BUT, I am going to exchange them for a half size smaller. Be warned, I wear a fairly tight 10.5 and a 10 will fit much better. Buy these shoes, but buy a half size smaller than regular!

Not sure why some people are complaining about the gaiter not being warm enough or wind proof. I have worn mine 5 times so far this year. Easily warm enough and wind proof enough when it was 5 degrees with 50 MPH wind snowboarding down a hill. Wore it the other day when it was 50 degrees outside and sunny, was to warm, but that's expected. I will still more than happy to have it when it started to rain(yuk!). Bottom line, this is my MUST have now while snowboarding. I am actually going to buy one for my dad and another one in a different color for myself. Only cons I can think of are it's a little to warm for 45+ degree days and little fibers got in my mouth the first two days I used it. Hardly cons, especially when considered with all the advantages. Buy this thing!!! Also, smartwool is an awesome company from my little experience with them. Socks are are seconds to none!

I love mine....favorite hoodie I own. Med fits me pretty well at 5'11" 155 Pounds, could be a little bit longer past the waste, but definitely not short enough to be a deal breaker. The soybean material is soooo nice...I get comments on the looks all the time, also feels like it will last forever. Hood is the perfect size, pretty big but not too big. It's not incredibly warm with only a SS t-shirt underneath, but when I had both LS and SS t-shirts on I was more than fine in 28 degrees with the wind blowing. Has also worked well in 50 degrees weather on it's own, in and out of class, I didn't overheat or get cold. Buy this hoodie!!! You won't be sorry.
