Not too warm
66 North Iceland Esja Fleece Jacket - Women's
November 22, 2008
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.

Warm blanket
66 North Iceland Tindur Jacket - Women's
November 22, 2008
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.

classy but pricey
Mountain Hardwear Sarafin Cardigan - Women's
November 22, 2008
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.

Luv Pearl Izumi
Pearl Izumi P.R.O. Microsensor Bike Short - Women's
September 20, 2008
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.

C-Thru
Sugoi RS Bike Short - Women's
September 20, 2008
The material is soft and forgiving and the legs are not too tight. I agree that the material is see through and should not be for biking without wearing black anti-bacterial undies. Sugoi needs to make the back panel in a heavy material. I kept them for the comfort factor.

Beaner Protection
Giro Monza Helmet
July 8, 2008
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.

not much to crow about
Pearl Izumi Pittards Carbon Leather Bike Glove
July 8, 2008
Pearl Izumi is generally a great company but these gloves are really light on the padding. They fit well and are light and comfortable but my palms still could use more padding to prevent nerve damage. I have been looking for better gloves but these will do for a short time as I wear them out quickly.

instant likeability
Oakley Set Short - Women's
June 28, 2008
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.

Not a winner for me
Oakley ARC Compass Board Short - Women's
June 28, 2008
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.

great look
Spyder Urban Ride Short - Women's
June 26, 2008
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.

gola jacket by 66 North
66 North Iceland Gola Jacket - Women's
June 19, 2008
This jacket runs very small in the chest. If you have a bust select the next size up though the shoulders may then be too wide. It is very fitted and I had to return mine. I usually wear a small and the medium was small in the chest and big in the shoulders with no room to wear a sweater. I like 66 North and love my winter vest from that company. This jacket would have looked great under that vest.

My favorite
Arc'teryx Fugitive Hooded Jacket - Women's
June 10, 2008
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.
