Great Glove

The North Face Patrol II Glove

The North Face Patrol II Glove

Rating for this product: 4 January 16, 2009

I bought these gloves for my mom, and she loves them! The dexterity is fantastic, and they fit well. They have good insulation, and the drawstring and wrist clinch work very well. They are waterproof and breathable for comfort. They aren't the warmest possible glove, but for average snow activities including backcountry riding (even on exceptionally cold days) the glove works awesomely.

Rating for this product: 4 January 13, 2009

I bought these for my mom for Christmas, and she loves them. They have kept her dry during those snowshoeing hikes. But they also keep her cool, which was the main thing she was looking for--dry but cool. Very good product.

Great Tent

Big Agnes Elkhorn 2-Person Tent w/ Footprint

Rating for this product: 5 January 5, 2009

I bought this tent a few months ago and I love it! It is extremely light and packs small. Its three pole design is sturdy and efficient. It is also very convenient that this tent comes with a footprint. All materials are high quality, and have held up very well so far. I would recommend this for anyone looking for a light, compact, yet robust tent.

Nice Tarp

Kelty Noah's Tarp

Kelty Noah's Tarp

Rating for this product: 4 January 5, 2009

I have enjoyed this tarp very much. It is light and easy to set up. It does exactly what its supposed to do, protect you from the elements, and does it well. Kelty makes a pretty good product. If fast, easy shade and shelter from the weather is what you're looking for, buy the Kelty Noah's Tarp.

These stakes are strong and will hold down just about anything in any situation. I use them for my Kelty Noah's Tarp, and they work great. You really can pound these through anything you encounter in the ground.

Fantastic Jacket

Outdoor Research Mithril Stormshell Jacket - Men's

Outdoor Research Mithril Stormshell Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 5, 2009

I love OR products. They make some of the best outdoor merchandise you can buy today. I purchased this jacket several weeks ago, and I have already used it for snowmobiling and skiing. It has held up great! Its waterproof yet breathable. It warm enough for those cold wind chills on the snowy mountains, and works great as a shell. It has plenty of draw strings to keep the elements out, and has a plethora of pockets for all of your essentials.

Awesome Jacket

Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Jacket - Men's

Outdoor Research Transcendent Down Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 5, 2009

This jacket is great! Its light and packable, yet thick enough and warm enough for those cold Utah winter nights. Its polyester lining really helps you retain wamrth, and the 650+ down filling is fantastic. It has exterior and interior pockets, and its ripstop material really holds up. It also works great for layering when you're night skiing or snowmobiling in cold Island Park. Exellent jacket.

I've had this pack for over a year now, and I have loved it!

It has held up very well, and I like how light it is while at the same time it is able to carry all my essentials. I recommend this pack.

Rating for this product: 4 January 4, 2009

I bought this down jacket for my girlfriend and she loves it! She can't stop talking about how great it is. Its extremely durable yet lightweight. The 700 down filling keeps her toasty warm in any situation, day or night, and its not as bulky as many other down jackets. Very nice item.

Good Gloves

Outdoor Research Vert Glove

Outdoor Research Vert Glove

Rating for this product: 5 January 4, 2009

I bought these gloves for my dad about a year ago for Christmas, and he is very happy with them. He uses them for everything from snow blowing to snowshoeing. While they are not waterproof, they are water-resistant and windproof. They dry quickly and keep his hands about as warm as a glove this size can keep them. Very good product.

Seirus makes a pretty good product. These gloves are water-resistant (not waterproof) and windproof. They do keep your hands pretty dry and warm. The articulation is good, and the palms allow you to hold on to whatever you need to.

Rating for this product: 4 January 4, 2009

I have used these for snowmobiling and skiing, and they work very well. They are extremely thin, and fit well inside of whatever gloves you need them to. They are also good at adding that extra layer of wamrth that you need, while not taking away your dexterity.

I bought these boots several months ago, and I love them! They have held up fantastically. I took them to the Wind Rivers in Wyoming during a small snow storm, and they kept my feet dry and warm. The Vibram soles are sturdy, and the Gore-Tex lining is guaranteed to keep you dry. Great hiking boot!

Big Agnes Insulated Air Core Sleeping Pad - Rectangular

Rating for this product: 5 January 4, 2009

The best part about this pad is its pack size and weight. When wrapped up in its stuff sack, the pad is hardly bigger than a Nalgene bottle. The pad inflates easily and gives you excellent support. This is a backpacker's dream pad. Very good.

Black Diamond Spot Headlamp - 2010

Black Diamond Spot Headlamp - 2010

Rating for this product: 5 January 4, 2009

Black Diamond makes some great products, and this is one of them. The headlamp is extremely light and versatile. The Hyperbright bulb is awesome and very bright, while the LED bulbs are very efficient. Its great to have a light that can do both brightness and subtleness together. And when I have it on strapped on my head, I hardly feel it because its so light.

Best Camper Pillow

Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow

Therm-a-Rest Compressible Pillow

Rating for this product: 5 January 4, 2009

I used this on my trek through Central America. Its probably the nicest camper pillow I've ever owned. It stuffs down to a small size, but open it up, give a few minutes to expand, and it works great! It definitely supports my achy neck better than any other camper pillow I've purchased.
