Good little bottle

Stansport Lexan Wide Mouth Water Bottle - 17oz

Stansport Lexan Wide Mouth Water Bottle - 17oz

Rating for this product: 4 January 25, 2007

Easy to hold and leak-proof... did retain a little bad water smell, unlike Nalgene bottles, but otherwise, good size and quality for smaller needs (e.g. small hike, children, etc)

La Sportiva Cardiff Running Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 23, 2007

Originally bought for general running (road, trail) because a good price.. had never used this brand. But, fit and comfort of shoes make this brand a 'revisit' next time I need shoes. Haven't taken on trail yet, but have been general jogging and around Disney!! No probs!

Top Quality

The North Face Paramount Convertible Pant - Men's

The North Face Paramount Convertible Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 January 23, 2007

These pants are always expensive, so I don't have many pairs, but they are worth the money due to the feel/look/durability when in use. They, at least mine, continue to last... only issue with this pair is the long designation is definitely long. I usually get L or 34 L or 35 length... but this is the 1st 34L that has been longer than I am used to... but still love.

Columbia Roc Pant - Men's DO NOT USE

Columbia Roc Pant - Men's DO NOT USE

Rating for this product: 4 September 29, 2006

Great quality pant... sizing not the best for me though. Some companies have 34 length that is longer than others, but Columbia's 34's are usually on the short end. I'm 6'2" and they fit OK, but sometimes feel like they are 'high-watering'.

Yakima BoatLoader - Boat Mount Accessory

Rating for this product: 5 September 29, 2006

I frequently have to load/unload by myself, and this helps tremendously by helping me balance the canoe. Seems to bend under the weight at times, but as long as you dont put all the weight near the end while fully extended you are ok.

These are comfy with cool pockets. I can wear out on the town, on the trail, or around the yard working. They can take anything. I wish I had more of these.

Marmot DriClime Windshirt - Men's

Marmot DriClime Windshirt - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 14, 2005

Very good protection from cold winds, but make sure you get the right fit. I am tall with long arms. The torso/body fits with 'OK' length (could use another 1-2"), and could use extra length in the sleeves (1-2") but the next size would be too 'baggy'.

As described in many reviews! It protects great from wind and is also great layered under my Denali (which provides no wind protection at all). Stylish and compact.

This daypack has lots of easy to use pockets and easy to use bladder w/ plenty of water storage capacity. Also definitely is positioned off your back to allow air to circulate...for those who tend to sweat a lot with a pack on their back.

Great combination. I've had the hanging toiletry bag for many years and needed a new one. I has been great and seems to be bottomless when room is needed. The shirt folder also is great because it lets you pack the shirts in it, versus folding then moving to another area.

This is a great light...fits great and gives plenty of light, even the Xenon bulb is plenty bright for my purposes, and lasts longer...so far just used on camping trips, but would be durable enough to use anywhere. Would recommend.
