The North Face Apex Bionic Jacket - Men's

January 11, 2009

XL, hmm, maybe not. The sleeves are long on this jacket. I find the cut a bit loose also. I'm 6' 2" 190lb with a 35-6 sleeve length and returned a large for a medium. BUT, I like an athletic cut and not loose. Because this jacket stretches, you don't need it loose, unless by preference or heavyduty layering underneath. Remember the collar also...you don't want cold air blowing down a loose one. I would think L as a compromise.

Great jacket

The North Face Apex Free Climb Jacket - Men's

The North Face Apex Free Climb Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 25, 2008

The cut of this softshell lends itself to be worn slim style. I ordered down a size and it's perfect. I'm 190, 6'1" and the M is fine for a trim fit. Otherwise I would have found it too large. Beads up any rain and is surprisingly warm.

Light on the way up. Comfortable on the way down.

Osprey Packs Exposure 66 Backpack - 4000cu in

Rating for this product: 5 November 19, 2007

I really appreciate this Osprey pack after using a much heavier but not much bigger pack. Light weight and 66L, it carries a full load for a week's trek (especially if you also pack light gear). The support I find to be excellent, while not bulky and stiff. The trim design helps on the uneven way up. I usually divide my gear in color bags so there is no need for added access (and weight) of side or bottom entry. I'm very pleased.

Clean when you need it most.

Never did like tasting plastic when I'm thirsty. Goat Klean does keep it clean, and sometimes you do need to carry a 40 ounce.

Great pants for a close fit.

Marmot Scree Softshell Pant - Men's

Marmot Scree Softshell Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 7, 2007

The M3 Softshell is great stuff, feels good and stretches well, while also providing abrasion resistance. I ordered a large based on the sizing for weight, but should have stuck with my usual medium. The fit seems true to one's regular size. The pants should fit not too loose, not very snug but close-fitting. The stretch is there for ease of movement without the need for extra material. Too bad I need to return, I think they would be great pants for hiking in high country.

Stylish but functional

66 North Iceland Gola Jacket - Men's

66 North Iceland Gola Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 October 22, 2007

I use this for town or after winter hike in lodge. It looks good (Euro style) and is really warm but light-weight. On evenings when you don't want to wear that same fleece you worked up a sweat in or used as a hardground pillow. True to size if fitting for a trim, athletic build. If you're bulked or buffed up, think a size larger. 66 North is always high quality.

The Vik is super light, soft, next-to-skin designed warmth. 66 offers great quality, and here is the same. The Vik looks good and keeps you warm.

Great jacket, lightweight, cool cut...I just couldn't wrap around the colors available. The red is flashier than a sports car on a four wheel track.

I needed these for travel and hiking. Everything they write up is true. Light weight, way easy to wash and quick hang dry. Most importantly on traveling, they're stay odor free unlike most poly base layer.

Rating for this product: 5 April 19, 2007

Good support, light weight, cool and odor free, these briefs are great for hiking and traveling. A little larger brief than I prefer (I like a micro brief), but will settle for the positive as a trade-off.
