I wore these while backpacking and discovered that they are very stylish but can become uncomfortable with a pack on your back. There is no material under the zipper and I had a red welt from the zipper rubbing on my skin to prove it. It also lines up with the hip belt on my pack. There is also no belt loops to hang a water bottle or take up the slack with a belt when weight loss kicks in on long treks. I snagged the material on bushes and wore them out on one 6 day trip. The pants would be great for vacationing and walking but not back packing.

This hoody is like a sweater but it's nice to zip off. I found the fit to be boxy unlike the previous Ibex hoody I have from 3 years ago. Buy a size on the small size as it is a large classic fit. I haven't washed it but will steam it clean instead. It is a layering piece and looks great with a turtle neck. It will take on a wrinkled look if you fold to store so hang it on a padded hanger instead. The price is very good from Backcountry as I paid full price to get the green color direct from Ibex. This hoody rocks.

It's warm, it's belted and it's crackly. Every movement in this jacket makes it crackle. The belt is big and too long so I have to double loop it at the end. The neck is scratchy stiff and it rubs on my neck when the zipper is all the way up. The zipper is also very heavy and difficult to unzip in a hurry and I had to step out of it when it snags. The hood is not removable but the faux fur is able to be zipped off. I found some of my other jackets to be softer, warmer, unzippable, and quiet. This jacket is none of those things. I wear a size small and I bought the black. I have never received one compliment while wearing this jacket but have received many wearing my other jackets by Lole' or Ibex etc.

The fit is snug in the arms. I am usually a size small and this fits me perfectly if I only wear a tissue t-shirt beneath. I have the expresso which is a rich nut brown tweed with an orange collar. The Mtn Hardware signature is so low and hard to see that this cardigan is barely worth the price tag. I prefer a two way zipper but there is some give to the material so it doesn't bunch up when sitting. It's too casual for my office. With a thin shirt underneath it makes the cardigan wearable only in the fall as it's not warm enough for the WI winters. I wouldn't wear this without a shirt as the wool is just slightly picky. If your arms are slim this is actually a classy light sweater for fall.

I bought this jacket in red and I love it. It feels like you are wearing a warm blanket and instead you have a super great casual jacket to walk the dog. I have been wearing it outside in 22 degrees and remained warm and snuggly. My thumbs fit into the holes easily. I find 66 north sized for slim people so size up one size for a better fit. It does fit snugly on the hips so I would go up two sizes of you are bottom heavy. My friends were very complimentary regarding this jacket. I enjoy it so much that I end up wearing it indoors after I have been outside.

It's built for a slim body so size up if you have hips. I find this jacket nice but I find it just as a layer or wear it as a sweater. It's not warm enough to wear outside below 55 degrees. I find the Arx Teryx Covert more comfortableand flexable to wear as a layer. The collar is super warm if you wish to layer it under a nylon jacket to cut the wind. It looks great on me so I will keep it. I wouldn't wear it out to dinner but enjoy shopping in the fall wearing it.

This pair of shorts delivers the best material and padding for your money. I wear size 4-6 and the size small fits well. Order up if you have bigger thigh muscles. Pearl Izumi does not ride up or pinch. Wore them in 80 degree temp with 85% humidity for 5 hours without any chafing. They also make the thighs appear more fit and smaller with the style and stitching.

I bought the silver/white and really like the helmet. It's styling for biking. I would have liked the visor clip too for sun/rain protection but I have another more expensive helmet for that type of weather. You can't go wrong with this helmet.

I've worn them for 2 hours and received 2 compliments. I have the earth brown and I agree that the hidden zipper is annoying. Yet; once zipped up the capri looks great with the front pleats which are slimming. There is one back pocket and no two front pockets and no cell pocket. If you want that much room get cargo's. I like these so much that I may buy another in a different color. This site provided fast and easy ordering and shipping. I couldn't find anything like this locally.

If you want to look like you cut up a good sail and made it into huge long legs chopped lower than the knee you might like these board shorts. I agree that the fit is weird and the look is baggy beyond any type of style. I do like other Oakley shorts and of course this site is great about taking my return with no questions regarding this product.

These shorts have great articulated knees but the waist runs a little big. I returned the medium size where I thought I could place a bike liner chamois inside and ordered the small and will wear them for hiking. Either way they look great and the service was prompt.

It's warm, windproof, and packable. The color is actually wine and not fuchsia. It hits above the hip which is slimming. The hood is great and my daughter wants to steal it. Buy it before they are gone.
