Mountain Hardwear Lightpath 3 Tent 3-Person 3-Season

October 18, 2010

Can this tent be set up without the tent? That is to say, with just the poles and rain fly? I'm looking at the options: either setting up the fly first in a downpour, so I don't get the mesh and inside of the tent wet, or skipping the main body and traveling light with the just the fly and poles (and maybe a footprint)/

CW-X Performx Tight - Men's

this isn't a perfect solution, but you could get some cheap military 'compression' shorts (they don't really compress, they're more for modesty I think) and wear them over the tights.

Fantistic, apart from the wrists.

Mountain Hardwear Transition Softshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 19, 2010

I use this product for running/xc skiing, with a shirt underneath if it's quite chilly or even without one if it's just brisk. This jacket breaks wind almost as well as a little league team at a chili-feed. I think you could fit a thin fleece underneath this, but it is a pretty snug fit. I like that though.

The wrists are a little restrictive, pigeon-holing you into one mode of wearing, but the jacket is fantastic. However, the hood is Fantastic! with it, a small beanie is all I need for skiing even when it's quite cold out.

The pocket in the back I could take or leave. it's ok, but not great, and even a heavy set of keys bounces with you if you're running. I think my ipod nano was great though.

Nice little fanny pack.

GoLite HydroCruise Lumbar Pack - 275cu in

Rating for this product: 4 March 19, 2010

I like this piece. it's good for running, xc skiing, and I'm hoping to use it for some easy hiking come summer. If you adjust it right, it can sit pretty smoothly on your hips & back without a lot of jostling as you move. Also, I was able to fit a small baselayer, along with my phone, keys, and extra gloves between the 2 back pockets, and the strap pockets can hold gummies/gel easily, and the right side has a headphone port. Me gusta!

Nice Socks and All...

Backcountry.com SynthTrail Crew Sock - 3-Pack

Rating for this product: 4 November 21, 2009

...But the best part is mismatching them!
They're cheap enough you can buy 2 sets and mismatch the colors all you want. I actually bought 3 sets, because I'm really into mismatching different colors of the same thing.

One Obnoxious Downside: These things pick up hair and fuzz like few other socks I've had, and it'll stick on the sock through the wash. My house is infested with dogs, so I don't wear these unless I'm headed out the door or in shoes. :)

Review Title

The North Face TKA 100 Glacier 1/4 Zip Fleece Pullover - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 30, 2009

I got an older version of this thing awhile back, and I really like it. at one point, a cafeteria malfunction left it covered in mustard, and I thought it would only be good for sweaty, active, by-myself use, but it completely washed 's pretout after maybe 2 times in the laundry.
It's pretty warm, but it isn't good for biking in the cold, as the wind gets through it.
I got it for $20, and I'd gladly buy another if the price comes down that low again.
