Sooo comfy, so soft. almost too soft

CW-X Pro Short - Men's

CW-X Pro Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 August 4, 2008

I have used these for a couple of weeks. They are super comfortable, almost to the point you don't know if you are wearing them. The leg support on these suckers is incredible. They are well worth the dough. The one downfall is that they seem to collect a lot of moisture. I do sweat more than the average human, so that is probably my fault not the shorts. I never chafe with these puppies. I recommend these to you.

KEEN Zerraport Sandal - Men's

KEEN Zerraport Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

I really enjoyed these shoes. Very lightweight, and perfect for after hike wear. A very comfortable way to end the day. I can wear these all day long and still love wearing them. The soles are very grippy so i would say goa head and take a light hike.

Great for pancakes

MSR Pocket Rocket Stove

MSR Pocket Rocket Stove

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

This stove is perfect for any food. I made Tuna and Pancakes very easily. The fact that you can control the heat makes this stove a great addition to any backpacking trip. The flame it puts off adds quite a bit of warmth as well.
A+++

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

I love my Sigg. I have used this for everything. Orange juice, water, and coffee. I have not used this yet for fuel, but im sure it would hold it as well as it would water. The weight is pretty much perfect as well. Buy it and you will not be disappointed.

Lightest jacket ever

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's

MontBell Ultralight Thermawrap Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 May 28, 2008

This is the first winter i have had a "winter" coat. It wasn't much of a coat as it was this Jacket. Super lightweight to the max. I have also used this on a backpacking trip, and I can say that at 6.7 ounces, this is THE MOST LIGHTWEIGHT JACKET EVER.

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

I have owned 2 pair of these shoes. I have used them not only for work in cold weather(thick socks needed), but I recently used the trail runners for a 20 + mile hike in the desert of southern Utah. Great running shoes, Great Hiking shoes. Highly breathable and very comfortable. I suggest them to everyone I know.

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

I used these recently on a backpacking trip through the Southern Utah Desert. Not a single issue. I love these socks. I love the goat logo. It didn't make the sock any more comfortable, but I liked it. Excellent breathability.

I have used these for both bike riding and hiking. Very comfy for both, therefore I can imagine perfect for climbing. I love the softshell material they are made from. Ultra breathable and sexy. So I am told.

Incredible pack. BUT DO NOT OVERLOAD

Osprey Packs Aether 70 Backpack- 4000-4400cu in

Osprey Packs Aether 70 Backpack- 4000-4400cu in

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

I used this pack for a 4 day backpacking trip in the Southern Utah Desert. So easy to figure out. So easy to use. You can fit a lot into the 4400. My advice: DO NOT use pack more weight than you should otherwise the pack becomes very very uncomfortable. This pack fit everything from Camelback bladder to my stove and a day's worth of clothes. Even my book. That is the problem! I was so excited that I could fit my bedroom that I over packed. No need to do that.

This pack is incredible. I am 6 feet tall. The large is perfect.

This tent is great for a short trip. I used it for four days. It did not weigh me down too much at all. Very easy set up. Very cozy. Loved it

Nothing spectacular, which is not to say it isn't great. It works as it is supposed to. Camelback makes great stuff.

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

These are almost too durable, if that is even possible. You can cram these anywhere (well not there). Great all around. They don't get hot when putting very hot food on them either.

Beautifully built

MSR Reactor Stove

MSR Reactor Stove

Rating for this product: 5 May 19, 2008

This stove slays any other. You can boil 1 litre of water in less than 2 minutes. Unless at high altitudes obviously. I had my potatoes so quickly after hiking, it was a lifesaver. So light minus the fuel, but well worth it. The MSR symbol shows up when lit it, which is a nice touch. You will not be disappointed if you have this.
