This thing is small, packs down nicely, and does the job. I only wish they made them bigger!

I agree with one of the reviewers below. An excellent towel, but it kind of feels weird (grabby might be the right word). Besides that, it is super absorbent and doesn't stink after continual use. Would recommend it to anybody!

This is one of those items that people usually forget to bring, but regret not having. Polycarb utensils are worth their weight in gold. I like these better than the ti versions because they don't transfer heat and don't bend like ti can. Since they're only a couple of ounces, there's no reason not to bring them.

This is another go to piece of kit for anybody spending any amount of time in the outdoors. We get issued these in the military and I have been using the same light for a couple of years. When it's really dark out, you don't need that much light to see, and the red lens helps keep your night vision. Worth every penny!!!

This is the perfectbackup light for almost anything. I have several....one as a backup to my TACTIKKA for military use, one in my truck for the random emergency (works well for changing tires in the middle of the night), and one for my backpack. It's so light, there's no reason not to carry it.

It's big and heavy...but SOOOOOOO nice after a day in the outdoors. Great fro sitting around a bonfire or campfire, but I do hate carrying the thing!

So these shoes are still working out well. I am in afghanistan and run in them at least 3 times a week. They are holding up well to the rocks and sand that are here on base (no paved roads at all) I think they are actually getting more comfortable as I wear them more. The only issue I am having is that the GTX doesn't breath too well in the heat, so my feet are sweating.

This thing rocks for throwing in your backpack for a day of backcountry riding, or as an extra harness. With no padding it's not so good for a day at the gym. For anything like that you need a padded harness.

Really like this shoe. I thought it wasn't going to work at first because the heel cup was a bit narrow, and overall the shoe was pretty stiff. After about 40 miles or so, they have started to loosen up a bit. The heel is still firm and supportive but has widened a bit and the shoe seems to have needed a breaking in time. Overall I'm satisfied and would recommend it to anybody

I absolutely love this watch. It does everything you expect from Suunto....BUT, the watchbands by this company are horrible. I've had the X-lander Mil edition for about 18 months now, and the rubber band has already broken. The only replacement band now available is the just as crappy leather version (smells when it gets wet) For a company that makes such great watches, I don't see how they put such crappy bands on them. The other problem is that you can't just put any strap on it. The pins are curved so you pretty much have to go with a Suunto strap.

This harness has worked really well. Very comfortable and easy to adjust. Would recommend it to anyone.

I don't care how nice Norrona stuff is....100 bucks for a cotton hooded sweatshirt is ridiculous!!!

This jacket rocks for a superlight packable jacket for rain or backpacking. I keep it in my truck for those unexpected downpours in the summer. You really can't go wrong with this jacket. Perfect for throwing in the backpack.

So far, I'm pretty happy with these boots. Excellent for light day hikes. With a heavy pack I'd go with something a little more substantial. The only reason I can't give them 5 stars is that durability has always been a question with La Sportiva. I love their boots and climbing shoes, but find that they tend to fall apart quicker thay they should. I haven't tested these enough to find out yet.... so 4 out of 5

I like the way these fit the front of my feet, but seems like there is too much room in the heels. My toes always get cramps after bouldering in them for awhile, but I'm still breaking them in.

Since the first night in this bag, I have loved every second of being in it. Not so much room that you get cold, but enough to move around a little. I'm 6' and 220 so I got the long version and it gives me enough room to move a little and even wear an extra layer if it's really cold. Totally glad I bought it!

I've had the Ama Dablm now for a couple of years and I definately like it. The problem I have is that the hood is too big. To me this is a after ski or sitting around the campfire jacket and there really is no need to have a helmet compatible hood. Other than that, it works really well. The fleece lined pockets are a definate bonus. Like all down jackets, some of the feathers poke through the outer shell, but this is normal. Overall, it is definately worth having....especially at 20% off like it is now.

Now that I've used the bag for a trip I'm definitely sold on it. This thing is solid all the way around. I was able to pack enough stuff for 10 days in it, yet there isn't so much room that you bring too much stuff. We all know, if you have extra room, you'll bring extra stuff. This is a great bag for a week or so. Any less than that, and I'd go with the smaller versions. Backpack straps work great, and the lack of a padded hip belt is just a non-issue. Worked out great!

For deep powder days this has turned out to be a really good pair of pants. The suspenders fit really well and these things are bombproof. The suspenders are detachable which is also a nice feature. Sizing seems to be dead on. Wish they came in more colors.

I thought this thing was way too expensive but I bought it anyway....and I'm glad I did. After a few days I actually went and bought it in another color. I can't begin to say enough good things about this piece. Perfect weight for the fall and works well under my Sidewinder shell on the mountain.!

Although I prefer the Delta AR for mountain activities, the LT is a much cleaner piece that looks good enought to go out on the town in. As someone below said "uber soft" That pretty much says it. Clean design and excellent detail.

I agree with john below. While this is a nice pack, it needs some work. Like he said, the shovel pocket is gigantic and I use it as a separator inside the pack. Good for stashing away an extra layer and keeping it dry. I have the black pack and the bright green interior really makes it easier to see inside on snowy or dark conditions. The biggest issue I have is the snowboard carry system. It is very stable on this pack once adjusted, but again, as John said, it's a pain in the butt to adjust. K2, cirque works, burton, etc have all tried this carry system, and none seem to be able to make it work. It's just a hard system to deal with while adjusting. When the adjustments are completed, it's a great system. Just be aware that it takes a few minutes....EVERY TIME....you put something in, or take something out of the pack to readjust.

I just got my new Porter 90 in the mail today. Looks like a well made bag so far. You can definately tell that quite a bit of thought was put into this piece of kit. Nice big opening, and all of the fastex clips associated with the backpack straps are actually built-in to small pockets in order to keep them for getting caught on anything. Like one of the other reviewers wrote....unpadded waist belt, but not sure you really need that. It's made to take you from the airport to the lodge without having to drag a huge duffle bag on the ground. I'm packing for a 20 day trip now, and it all seems to fit. We'll have to see how this first trip goes!

As most have stated below, this is a solid pair of pants. I have worn them all over the world and have never been dissapointed. They dry really quickly and never seem to wear out. Mine have been to the top of mountains all over the cascades and rockies, and to the desert of Iraq and Somalia. I will buy these pants as long as TNF makes them. Although I will say that I've never zipped the legs off. never really found the need...

I was a little skeptical at first, but after riding this board I was a believer. Magnatraction really works. The only issue I've ever had is that it seems a little grabby on hard groomers...almost like it wants to turn more than you do. The faster you go, the more noticeable. Not a big deal, but didn't expect it. At 6' and 225 lbs, the 167 seems to be a perfect fit. It floats well in powder and is pretty good on groomers (see above)

This is my first Arcteryx Gore-Tex jacket and I've been fully impressed. The offset zipper is great, but does take some getting used to. I used it on a 35 day trip to Oregon and brought my North Face Mountain Guide jacket as well... but never even broke it out of my bag. The sidewinder worked well in every condition. Fits well over my RED helmet. This jacket is a no frills, no extra crap jacket, for people who want ride/ski not sit in the lodge!

Overall, this is one of the best bibs I've ever worn. It fits well and is true to size. The only two gripes I have are that the zipper around the drop seat is a little drafty so it's hard to ride in these without long underwear on (layering with these is a must), and that the leg gaiter needs to be wider. My Burton Driver X boots barely fit inside them. Other than that, I love them and would definitely tell others to buy them.

Of the 15 years I've been snowboarding, this is by far the best technical jacket I've ever seen. Well thought out and designed, it has far surpassed my already high expectations.

I have had my pair of Makalu's for about two years now. They are by far the best heavy duty boot that I have ever had. In fact I used them in Iraq for Operation Iraqi Freedom instead of the Asolo's that I was issued. They performed flawlessly in Iraq and have gone to the top of many mountains in Colorado during the winter. I'll buy them as long as they make them!
