I even washed my gloves

Nikwax Tech Wash

Nikwax Tech Wash

Rating for this product: 5 July 22, 2009

I love this product and have used it for years. I am pleased they have a UV protection out now too by Nikwax. Follow the directions on the bottle and keep your performance clothing clean. Your clothing will last years longer if you just invest more in tech wash.

Criss cross straps are not my favorite

The North Face Diane Sport Tank - Women's

The North Face Diane Sport Tank - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 July 22, 2009

I kept the shirt becasue it is long. The material performs under heat and exercise well. The straps are uncomfortable on my shoulders for long periods of time. I went on a 14 mile hike and the straps started to hurt my skin on my shoulders. For shorter periods of time I think I would have been more satisfied with this item. In the past I have had better fitting tops by TNF with thicker material that was softer on my skin for long treks. I will still keep and wear the shirt though.

Used on 11 year boots, and it worked for me

Nikwax Conditioner For Leather

Nikwax Conditioner For Leather

Rating for this product: 4 June 10, 2009

The product itself works like a charm, bringing new life to boots that are on their last leg, even with new soles and heels. I also used the conditioner on Dansko clogs, and some other casual leather shoes. I really love how the color goes back into the shoes after application. Actually I would have started my review with 5 stars not 4, but I hated the manufacturing packaging. The second time I went to open the bottle it came apart like a bottle of champagne, and spilled all over me, my table and my kitchen floor. Buyer beware!

Not the ski for me

Line Mothership Alpine Ski

Line Mothership Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 1 March 23, 2009

Sorry, but this ski was a total buzz kill for me. Granted I did got to a flat resort on a hard pack day with moguls, and more moguls as far as the eye could see. I thought the ski was grabby on a icy slope, sucked on crust wind pack, and could not find any confidence in them at high speeds on a icy groomer. I usually ski longer skis, my daily driver is the 190 Volkl KATANA. It was hard to image that these skis could be good at all in fresh snow becasue they sucked. I did find that you could straight line in a side slip at high speeds and the ski made me feel like a clown in a resort town. I tried them for a day and would never buy them for my own.

Vacation ski

K2 Phat Luv Ski - Women's

K2 Phat Luv Ski - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 March 23, 2009

I borrowed these for a weekend to let my friend from Chicago ski in Utah. She absolutely loved them for the two hours she was able to ski before he legs quit on her. I have had other friend ski this ski and rave about them. Personally I can only tell you that I have never heard a bad word, but did not ski them myself.

My tent went to the 4th season

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Ultra Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 Ultra Light Tent: 3-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 5 September 8, 2008

This past weekend I went camping in the High Uintas. I am happy to say the Big Agnes Copper Spur UL3 held up well for the 16 straight hours of rain, freezing rain, hail, and snow. The tent has my confidence now after surviving more weather than it was designed for. The tent is easy to pack because of the light weight, and sets up easily with the color coded attachments. I thought the stakes were strong, and easy to put in and out of the ground with a rock. The drawstring feature adjustment for the rain fly was fast to adjust for the length, matching the various ground space in a flash. The vestibule did well under tremendous weight of heavy wet snow. The doors to the tent also held up well to quick exists, and dogs wanting to come in & out. What else can I say? The Copper Spur won me over. The only thing I would change is the color, I wish it was green instead of orange.

Sorel combines fashion, fit, and function

Sorel Kaya Boot - Women's

Sorel Kaya Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 February 1, 2008

The boots looked good, then I tried them on. Now they look great!! I do not want to take them off. If the boots could turn down the heat they help you foot retain I would wear them non stop. Normally I wear a 10.5, but with the round toe-box they fit without being to tight. An absolutely perfect buy for my needs. We have at ton of snow where I live and ski. This is now my after ski footwear. Happy feet makes for a happy person.

This is a great Shoe

Salomon XA Comp 3 Trail Running Shoes - Women's

Salomon XA Comp 3 Trail Running Shoes - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 2, 2008

I love the fit, the lacing system allows me to adjust the shoe for different activities. My favorite part of the design is the material, because the shoe never looks dirty. Every time I see another woman wearing this shoe we talk about how happy we are with the product.
