Bit to much support

CW-X Pro Tight - Women's

CW-X Pro Tight - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 29, 2008

Purchased tights for trail running, I have knee problems and wanted extra support for them. These tights definitely provided that, but at a cost, I felt restricted in my ability to bend my knees for the steppy ups of rocky trails. The tights also bunched up around the knee area. I am 5'4" and 135lbs. The chart recommended a small but having larger than normal legs, I got a Medium. They seemed to fit fairly well but very tight around the calves and butt areas. I thought that this was okay because they were support tights but it really was a problem for me, even during road runs. I think that these tights would be great for a more normal shaped runner, doing road runs, but not for me and my steppy trail scrambles.

Hot Water Now!

MSR Reactor Stove

MSR Reactor Stove

Rating for this product: 5 December 29, 2008

Love this little wonder of a stove. Used it backpacking in 35 degree foggy windy wet weather. It worked like a champ. First time out of the box, it lit up quickly with no "fire ball". Used with a full pot of ice cold water and it was boiling before I had time to get the coffee out of the backpack. For hikers like me that don't like to fuss with putting stoves together with ice cold hand and just want hot water now, this little beauty is for you. The large pot holds your stove, a canister, your lighter and a few other misc items. Take everything out, screw the fuel canister on the stove, light, and presto- boiling hot water. The stove sips fuel with the quick boil times, you will use less fuel than other canister stoves, less fuel to carry in the backpack, which compensates for the heavier weight of the stove compared to the jet boil. The pot sits very nicely on the stove, with no instability on uneven ground. Easy to use and pour hot water from, thanks to the nifty handle, lid keeper. The clear see-through lid is a nice addition as well. Nicely designed stove. Small draw backs are the over-all weight is a bit heavy, has no simmer capabilities, and the diameter of the pot is a bit small for dipping your bowl or cup in to sterilize. For 2 people on the trail, this is all you will need for your cooking needs.
