Great Flip Flops

Reef Fanning Sandal - Men's

Reef Fanning Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 July 15, 2008

I really, REALLY hate flip flops...but this is the first pair i've ever worn that I have liked. They offer a good amount of support and their softness. My biggest problem with flip flops in the past were loose straps, making them move on my feet, but these straps hug them which make for a very comfortable and effortless walk. The bottle opener works wonders too while on vacation in Myrtle.

Nalgene..Need I Say More?

Rating for this product: 5 July 15, 2008

Seriously, hundreds of other people have said all the praise that needs to be said for these bottles. The only other thing to note is the no 'plastic' aftertaste with these new bottles. Keep it up Nalgene!

Best Yet

Lorpen Coolmax Multisport  Ultra Light Shorty Sock

Lorpen Coolmax Multisport Ultra Light Shorty Sock

Rating for this product: 5 May 27, 2008

These are the best trail running socks I have purchased to this date. Great fit, breathe well, manage moisture VERY well, and I like where they come up on my ankle (a few centimeters above the top of my trail runners). Don't think i'll even try another sock.

Nothing amazing here, just a regular athlete hat with a sweatband and light, quick drying polyester. Can't really beat the price.

Good Outdoors/Workout Shirt

Salomon Moto Tech-T - Men's

Salomon Moto Tech-T - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 28, 2008

I really like this shirt. Wicks well and I like the more baggy fit while hiking, although some people might not like that kind of fit for running. The only small issue I have with it is that it does wear out fairly quickly in a spot on my chest from my hydration pack.

Great Jacket

Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's

Backcountry.com Rime Pullover Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 April 28, 2008

Was able to gobble this up on for half price, and I really like this jacket. It breathes fairly well and rain beads on it a great deal...I have yet to be caught in a strong enough rainstorm to penetrate its outershell. I do have a couple small complaints. One, this isn't your minimalist jacket like those 4oz windbreakers we see, so I think a draw cord for the waist would of been a GREAT addition (I sometimes get updrafts and it slowly rides up due my the waist belt on my hydration pack). Also, the inner layer causes so much friction with my shirts that half the time it takes the shirt with it when I take the jacket off, even when I have the shirt tucked in. overall a great jacket, i'm just not sure if it's good enough for the full price tag.

Good Lightweight Short

Sugoi Spearhead Running Short - Men's

Sugoi Spearhead Running Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 24, 2008

I was at first skeptical because I was never a fan of shorts and pants with their own built-in underwear, but these have worked great. They're very thin so you stay cool and they dry extremely fast when you run through a river. These aren't the shortest shorts I have ever owned.

A Great Outdoors shoe

Salomon XA Pro 3D XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Salomon XA Pro 3D XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 April 24, 2008

These shoes are amazing. After a years use of them, they are still holding up great with no problems. I have sat in creek beds to eat my lunch with my feet never getting wet. The only 'problem' with these shoes is that if you don't have high arches, they take a pretty long time to break in. I'd say it took me about twenty miles to really get the arches to the level I felt were really comfortable and contoured well with my foot...so just wear them around town for a while until they fit how you want before taking them out on the trail.

Great Wicking, Bad Chafing

SmartWool Microweight Boxer Brief - Men's

SmartWool Microweight Boxer Brief - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 April 24, 2008

I bought these to use for soccer tournaments (i'm a referee and sometimes will ref 8-10 hours a day for a tournament). These wick very, very well to keep the sweat off as much as possible. Although I have had a big problem with chafing where the stitching is, although I doubt I would get the chafing if I used them for lesser activities like hiking or for a 2 hour run, and i'm sure it doesn't help that I have a classic soccer butt(big due to leg strength training). Basically, for the price I don't recommend them if you intend to use them in a similar capacity that I do (intensive running for most of the day), otherwise they would probably be a good asset for hot, humid areas.

Rating for this product: 5 April 24, 2008

I use these for hiking and trail running and they work great as sometimes my Gore-Tex shoes can become a little hot, these work well to get the sweat off of my feet. I do recommend that someone with a shoe size of 12 to go with XL instead of L.

Salomon XA Pro 3D XCR Trail Running Shoe - Men's

I think after 12 they only go up in whole sizes. I suggest you try out the 12s. I wear a street size of 12, but sometimes go down to 11.5 for athletic shoes, but the 12s of these shoes fit me just fine.
