These pants have a nice fit to them and they are very easy to put on and take off, even with shoes on. The pants do keep you dry as you are in your boat/raft/kayak but there is no way around it...you will get wet if you take a swim in the water. The pants do have a thicker somewhat padded area for the behind which seemed to help keep me in my seat instead of sliding around as I hit some rough water. I did notice that the pants do not breathe all that well though. No zippers to worry about on these pants, the pull tabs for the waist are nice and very easily adjusted on the go. One thing that should be added for next years model is either 1 or 2 small pockets to stash a few small items.

What else can I say? They are water socks, and they do the job well. I wore them for a river run in mid march on Arizona's verde river which is fed from snowmelt. The water was very cold and my feet were in and out of the water all day and not once did they get cold. I did however have a thick pair of hiking socks underneath the water socks.

The neck and wrist cuffs are easily adjusted. The jacket does its job well, kept me dry as I was running class III water. If you get dumped into the water you will get wet though, no way around it. The jacket dries rather quickly and it does fit a little large which leaves enough room for either 1 or a couple of baselayers.

First time using this tent I wound up in a nice rain storm that rolled in and then turned into snow and wound up dumping 7" of snow on us. Tent stayed nice and dry throughout the rainstorm, and I had to go out into the snow storm to sweep snow off the top of the tent/fly every now and then. Never a sign of any water anywhere inside the tent or on the underside of the fly. Scored it for a killer price on SAC for tent, footprint, fly with guylines, stakes, poles, and a gearloft for the ceiling.

Great lightweight pot and spork. Only reason it did not get 5 stars is because the lid does not seal tight, it easily comes off. 2 thumbs up to sac

Although this is a nice jacket due to its windproof and water repellent qualities, it is quite light and requires serious layering if you are normally a cold individual. Fleece lining is nice and soft and I like the inside pocket, and zippers all around feel great. I definitely would not have paid retail price for the jacket, and I still feel the price paid on sac was quite steep for this jacket.

The assist opening on this knife is killer. Its so small and light weight I often forget where I last had the knife clipped. Sharp blade and seems to keep an edge quite well.
