If you're active in the least, when you find these on sale, load up your cart with as many as you can and throw all those old cotton things out. You know the ones; the ones with more holes and rips than material? The ones where if you're on a late-night-strip-down-and-swim adventure; people aren't going to view you the same Monday morning? Get rid of 'em all and replace 'em with these.

Started my wicking boxer switchover with the Patagonia Active Classics, and they're good, for sure; but these hold up much better and the fit is close but doesn't bunch at all. Don't think about it; just do it...

feather weight. wicks so damn fast you never knew you were sweating. close-fitting but allows full range of motion. very good looks. Arc Teryx is unmatched and unrivaled with this shirt. Nobody comes close to this, at any price point.

These pants have been a workhorse in my wardrobe; they fit very well, have pockets in just the right places, function just about as great as they could under the widest range of circumstances (you'll get wet in steady rain, but you'll be dry in no time) Great, great item

Just got these shorts in a few days ago, and beware potential buyers!! I ordered a Sm from the web site here, the packing slip and all brand packaging read Sm, and the 'nut' label on the waist of the shorts read S, so everything's cool and I'm happy with my purchase until I try them on; they're loose, really loose. I figure no problem, one of the reviewers here said that could be and that's what the belt is for, right? So I put them through the wash and when go to fold them, I notice that THE S LABEL PEELING OFF FROM THE WAISTBAND TO REVEAL THE TRUE M SIZE OF THE SHORTS. Somewhere during the manufacturing process (this pair came from the good folks in Cambodia), something went wrong and it would appear different sizes are being re-labeled and sold (fraudulently, in my opinion) to unsuspecting retailers and consumers.Will be calling Mountain Hardwear in the morning to notify them of this and I will be publishing the results of my inquiry at this location. Let's hope they do the right thing here and more people don't spend their hard-earned money on wrongly-sized clothing...it should be noted that I own many Mountain Hardwear items and am by and large very impressed with their products and hope to continue my customer relationship with them.***UPDATE***Got through to Mtn Hardwear warranty office, where they patiently listened to the situation and offered an exchange for the full retail price of the shorts. My faith in the brand is restored, and I return to fully recommending anything from this company as they will stand behind it with integrity.

***EPILOGUE***
Warranty department gave me a credit for full retail price of any currently manufactured shorts; I chose the Coolidge trunks and they were rushed to me in approx. 3 days. Awesome MHW, just freaking awesome. This is how you do business and treat customers...

This may possibly be the shirt to start replacing all the Mtn Hardwear Wicked T's in my wardrobe. Outer weave looks great, and it's double-sided so the inner fabric is smooth to the skin; but the shirt stays extremely cool despite this. Much more durable than the Wicked T's; no signs of pilling after multiple wash and wear. And of course does its job by sucking the sweat away so fast you forget you were hot to begin with. Will be ordering more for sure!

I recently picked up a pair of Vibram's FiveFingers, and unless you're fine with throwing them in the wash every singe day, you really need some of these socks. I also plan to wear them as liner socks under my Smartwools during the winter. Like the fivefingers, Great idea, great product!
