These are great shades. I have the regular rounded lenses and have had them for several years. The titanium lenses have been great and have stood up to my active and crazy life. I have put these shades through hell and they keep kickin'. I have a small to medium face and they fit great. The slight exposure from dust and debris from the sides help them to vent better during high intensity pursuits. I have worn these shade to run equipment, rope cows, ride MTB/Moto and drink cold ones after all that. Now that is pretty good!

These things rock. I have been an oakley fan for the last 11 years or so. Never been disappointed. I got these because my new job need more wrap around eye protection. I had a pair of half jackets that I was very happy with but they were 3+ years old and getting tired. These glasses give me ANSI Z87 rated protection from flying debris and keep me stylin'. The polarization is a plus to keep glare down when I'm off playing after work.

Bottom Line: Buy them. If you can keep a decent pair of shades around then this is what you need!

I love these shorts. I got turned onto these shorts at a Prana factory sale where they had 2nds for $10! I have been buying them ever since. The material dries incredibly fast and is stretchy enough to do almost anything. These shorts have been climbing, repelling, sky-diving, and even the occasional pub crawl. The bottom line above is right on. Doesn't get much better than this!

It doesn't get much better than this. This thing is bulletproof, warm, and completely windproof. The total wind-proofing of this thing limits breath-ability a bit, but that is averted by r1 panels in the armpits and big pocket zippers. When it gets blustery you can layer over it too. The weight is pretty nice and I don't think anything else touches this in performance. I went into my local retailer intending to get a softshell, instead I walked out with this jacket. I haven't looked back since!

Score this on SAC. I love it. I got the one with the hose insulation and I use it to ski and do everything really. The taste is nice and clean. I NEVER put anything other than water in these bladders and they work great. I have only heard horror stories of trying to clean out electrolyte drink mess out of these so I don't bother. I won't use anything other than camelbak bladders and I have always been happy.

These kits are usually pretty good. I always find myself augmenting what comes with them, but the basics are all there. Anything I add is just personal preference. I wouldn't hesitate to grab this off the shelf and take off on a trip.

This is my go to underlayer when it gets cold. With one of these and my OR ski jacket I can be down below 0 and still having a good sweaty time. Too bad they are made in china, but then everything is these days. No stink, no problems. Merino is the best and just about anything from IB is going to work awesome.

I love the SAT these knives come with. The steel keeps and awesome edge, and the clips sit very solid in the pocket. All the SOG knives that are pricier (aka made in USA) are worth the coin.

Light, quick pack. Dependable water bladder. Great size for day trips. The only thing I didn't like was the cheap hip belt. I went to a vantage 30 with a little bit more support and a true hip belt. Otherwise great pack and would definitely recommend. I am sure the newer packs have only gotten better!

No doubt on the quality. I like SOG products. I did snap a plier head, but I sent it back to SOG and they replaced it for free. I don't like how heavy it is, or the crappy leather sheath it comes with. I think I'll keep it for a while.

This thing is awesome. I got the aluminum handle and the TiNi blade. Solid knife, holds an edge great, and scored on SAC! The assisted opening is solid, the locking mechanism can be operated with gloves on, and the balance and ergonomics are fantastic. The aluminum handle is tough and still light enough. The clip lets the knife sit completely flush inside my pocket and it stays in place very well. Also, SOG used regular allen bolts instead of torx bolts so it is easier to work on. Go buy one of these!

Not really impressed. I liked the gauntlets, but overall I didn't like the gloves. The fingertips were sewn funny, the stiffness required a fairly extended break-in, and the glove wasn't as warm as I was expecting. They seemed to cut the wind fine and they worked, but there are definitely better gloves out there for a better price. I picked them up in SAC and they were still $55. Yikes!

be warm! I've tested these in windchill values as low as -55* and air temps of 0* and have been pretty impressed! I commute with these on my motorcycle and stay warm enough even at ridiculously cold windchills. When the air is above 0* and I'm out playing in the powder these are incredibly warm. The low profile of the glove makes it pretty easy to execute tasks without taking the gloves off. Plus, they are breaking into my hand and feeling better every day. I tested these side by side with the Stoic Welder Gauntlet glove and found these to be just as warm, maybe warmer, and more versitile. They also didn't need the extended break-in time of the welder's.

I'm a fan!

Pretty solid knife. My everyday carry knife at the moment. The clip is prone to bending and the blade is made in china. Holds and edge pretty well and feels nice in the hand. Nice and thin so I don't notice it in the pocket. Got it for a decent price on SAC, otherwise not worth the money...

I absolutely love this jacket. This is has become my go to winter coat. I have skiied in it and bummed around town. When the mercury starts dropping I can hang out in just a t-shirt and this jacket. As long as it is above -10 degrees, that is...

The length of the jacket is great. It comes down to a little past my waist. Longer in the back that the front. I'm also happy with the removable powder skirt and hood. I'm 6' and 175 lbs and wear a large with just enough space underneath to layer up, if necessary. This thing is very waterproof. I'm a huge fan of this jacket. Durable, waterproof, warm.

All I can say is.. BUY IT!

Bought a set of the clears to mountain bike at night. I got the xlj lense instead of the regular shape that my half-jackets came with. Nothing to complain about. Interchangeable and awesome! Thanks BC and Oakley!

This is an Update from a previous review...

Once the sustained winds hit about 30-35 mph this thing starts leaking wind pretty bad. I really wanted to love the jacket when I had it but I just couldn't convince myself to keep it. It worked great when it was snowing and was great for getting around town when I wasn't playing in the snow. The outer material was tough and stretched adequately. Tough enough to not worry about trees and rocks ripping holes in it during "typical" ski use.

As other reviewers note this jacket is very "athletic" fitting. I could fit a thin baselayer (IB 200g/m2 wool shirt) but I think a medium baselayer would be too constricting. I'm 6' and 180lbs and wore a large. The hood, length, torso and sleeve length was great, it was primarily the sleeve tightness that bothered me.

Jacket is great if your in low wind, above 0 conditions. I wouldn't want to be on an exposed ridgeline and depend on this to keep me warm...

Just picked the jacket up from SAC and so far impressed. The weather has started to cool off and I can hang out on the porch when it is 20 degrees and not worry about getting cold. This jacket appears to be well constructed (haven't truly tested it yet) and is definitely very warm. The pockets are usable and the hood is not obtrusive. The hood doesn't seem big enough to house a helmet, but it is adjustable and comfortable. The velcro closures on the wrists should be enough to keep the majority of snow out. I think that my main parka is going to get lonely this winter... I am also happy that stoic put the pit zips in. The material is breathable, but sometimes those pits just need some air! The put zips are mesh lined so you won't fill your side with snow when you eat it on those warmer days. The jacket seems a little heavy but it does replace 2 layers with 1 for backcountry play so it really isn't too bad.

Bottom line: I'm impressed and I have started recommending Stoic clothing to friends. I have been looking at their other products for something that I like so much I could convince myself I need it.

I got a great deal on this on SAC but had to return the shirt because I was swimming in it! I'm 6' and 180 lbs and ordered a Large. The Medium would be a better fit for me. I generally wear L in t-shirts and M in colored shirts or western shirts. I should have thought before I click buy now...

If I had another deal like I originally had then I would not hesitate to buy at least 1, if not more. The shirt had great quality and attention to detail. Plus, it looked great.

I just picked this pack up from SAC and I am pretty stoked so far. I bought it with the intention that it would be a multi-use pack. I needed something for school, small day hikes and ski season. The diagonal ski carry system is pretty solid. I don't know how it handles while actually in the back country, but I am expecting good results. There is enough room for quite a bit of gear, plus stuff can be strapped on the outside if necessary. The hip belt pocket it a great addition. Holds my point-n-shoot well and it fleece lined so I don't need to worry about damage to it. I used this to day hike humphreys in Northern Arizona and it worked out better than expected.

I'm looking forward to the winter so that I can load the skis up and take the pack for a real spin.

Not impressed with the shoulder straps on the pack. If the suspension was designed a bit differently then this would be a pretty good pack. It is lacking a good bladder pocket and external water bottle holders. The side pockets will hold a half liter nalgene or travel coffee mug. Not too useful. The rest of the organization is great. The material is strong and the pack is well constructed. I wish it fit better. Then I would keep it. As it is I am sending it back.

The light intensity on the long distance function was not as bright as I would have liked. The close range 3-LED function was nice for reading or close proximity use.

What turned me off the most was the huge battery pack and the exceptionally long cord. The light would be impractical, at best, to use as a headlamp with the battery pack attached to the straps. It is better suited to mounting the battery pack in a daypack or somewhere other than your head.

Overall I was less than impressed with this product.

Picked these boots up in town towards the end of our ski season to push a set of BD Havoc skis down the moutain. They happened to be the only boot in my small town that fit me. I figured that was a sign. I went shopping expecting to get a 28 or 28.5 and ended up with a 27. I only got to ski two more days this season after getting the boots, but both days were great. The first day on the slopes was Showdown, Montana, after a foot of fresh stuff. I kept great control of my skis and my feet lasted from first chair to last chair with only a 15 minute lunch break. Impressive comfort for a brand new boot with a 120 flex rating. If you can afford 'em, buy 'em! Best piece of advice I ever got when getting into skiing: "Don't set a budget on ski boots. Buy the very best you can afford and you will enjoy your days on the slopes. Buy some cheap ones and you'll be hating life after a short time."

I've been a fan of these shoes for a few years now. About to start my third pair. I get at least a year of life out of each pair so far. I used to run in a Nike shoes and then strapped these on my feet. Rocky trails became smooth and asphalt and hardpack became soft. They even performed solidly on the 22+ mile day hike up Mt. Whitney. My biggest fear with these shoes is that they will stop production of them.

Just got this jacket and I love it. I wear an icebreaker bodyfit260 shirt under this jacket and was warm and toasty down to -5° plus a windchill. Keep in mind that I generally run on the warm side. Kept fresh powder out while falling left and right. The sleeves have a good velcro closure that is easy to get gloves on and off with. Powder skirt is a great addition. My only gripe is that without the hood the neck cannot be tightened to keep the elements out. Awesome jacket and highly recommended. Worth every penny.

This knife is great for everyday use. The edge stays sharp for quite a while and the size is perfect. I haven't found anything to complain about! Picked it up for supercheap on SAC and haven't looked back.

The jersey works, but it is not great. The fabric is pilling after just a few washings. The full zip billows out and gets in the way. I'd rather have a half zip standard jersey and skip the full zip. The zippered mp3 pocket in the back is good if you don't want to lose your ipod! I can't bring water on my bike unless I have a camelbak so the pocket doesn't do me much good.

The jersey works, but there is better on the market.
