Worked out great for my boys

This was a fantastic pickup for my kids. They both needed cold weather bags for a late autumn camping trip. I'm happy to say that they were toasty warm and the bags have held up quite well considering the beating they've given them ("Time for another Blue Worm Fight!")

Comfy even if I had to glue it back together

KEEN Newport Sandal - Men's

KEEN Newport Sandal - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 November 18, 2008

I love these shoes. I wear them 3 out of four seasons, and they are extremely comfortable. The only downside is that the reinforced toe tends to separate from the mesh if you're real hard on them.

I agree with @markvu2349992 the knife could be easier to get to. The tweezers are sort of useless also. A bit too wimpy. That said, it's better than nothing.

Nice options but bulky

Rating for this product: 4 November 18, 2008

The pliers on this model are strong. I used them to pull a huge honey locust thorn out of the sole of a pair of Chucks two weeks ago. @AaronWilbur is right about the size, though I haven't had any problem with anything coming loose.

Seriously toasty bag and good for big guys. I'm 6'1" and come in around 230 right after Thanksgiving. I've never felt uncomfortable in this bag.

Good tent, 3 person if two are small

The North Face Rock 32 Bx Tent 3-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 4 November 17, 2008

The Rock32 is easy to pitch and kept us warm. I picked this tent up because I needed something simple and small for me and my two boys. Worked well for us but they're little guys. We'll need something bigger in a few years.

Great until November

The North Face Blackhawk WindWall Jacket - Men's

The North Face Blackhawk WindWall Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 3 November 17, 2008

I wear this jacket a lot and it's great at cutting the wind. However, it is not all that warm unless I've got a heavy fleece underneath. Also, this product needs an inside pocket. Makes a great liner to my snowboarding shell though.

Great sack, bad label

Outdoor Research Helium Compression Sacks

Rating for this product: 4 October 1, 2007

This is an awesome stuff sack. Problem is that I thought I was getting a bargain because the SKU was labeled "Gray, 4"... Yes, I really thought I was getting 4 sacks. So, it's a super sack but if you want a set make sure to order the right product.

Took a beating from my kids! Solid!

The Travel Hammock Double Hammock

The Travel Hammock Double Hammock

Rating for this product: 4 October 1, 2007

I set this up in the backyard for a test (very comfortable) and then went inside to do some laundry. When I came back, my kids (4 & 9) were roughhousing in and over and all about the hammock. If I had any worries about the toughness they were dispelled immediately! Tiny and light. I keep it in the trunk of my car for inspired naps in nature.

Better than the original!

Suunto Elastomer Strap Kit for X6HRM, G3, Observers, & X6HRT

Rating for this product: 4 October 1, 2007

My Observer is a bit old but I remember that the original band was like a rock. Took a long time to break it in. This new band seems just as solid but it is comfortable. Be sure to use a jeweler's screwdriver to install the band. It's a toughie because of the configuration of the watch housing.
