Really smooth

Kelty Speedster Stroller

Kelty Speedster Stroller

Rating for this product: 5 September 28, 2009

A friend of mine purchased the Kelty double stroller and liked it, so I decided to give this one a try. To give you some background this is the first time I have ever ran with a running stroller. I was really surprised how smooth the stroller is and I was pretty much able to run with my typical stride and form. I'm 5'10'' and the handle was at a perfect height. I've read some reviews that the brakes can break easily, so I'm just taking extra care of those. Between my wife and I, we've use this stroller 10-15 times and we both are very happy with it.

Nice running pants

The North Face Swift Hybrid Pant - Men's

The North Face Swift Hybrid Pant - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 September 28, 2009

I'm a pretty serious runner and like these pants a lot. I used them on a early morning run which was pretty cool and they were a perfect weight. Not sure yet how they will work on a really cold day, but will update later once it gets cold out. My only other concern is how well they hold up since they feel really thin.

Little too thick for me.

This sock was a little too thick for me. I personally liked the "Teko Poly Light Low Sock - Men's" and "Darn Tough Merino Wool No-Show Mesh Sock" better

Darn Tough Merino Wool No-Show Mesh Sock

Darn Tough Merino Wool No-Show Mesh Sock

Rating for this product: 5 September 28, 2009

I bought these socks as well as the Teko Poly Light Low Sock - Men's. I liked them both. The price tag is a little high but you get what you pay for. My preference for socks are not too thin and with too much nylon because they make my feet sweet, and not too thick and too much cotton. This sock is perfect.

Rating for this product: 5 September 28, 2009

Just ran in these for the first time yesterday and I was really impressed. They are the perfect thickness which allows my feet to breath but not too think that they are hot. They are on the expensive side, but there is no reason to buy anything higher end than these.

Two things I really like about these shorts is the belt system and the length. Not sure how well they hold up just yet, but they are nice looking out of the box.

Good stuff

Asolo TPS 520 GV Backpacking Boot - Men's

Asolo TPS 520 GV Backpacking Boot - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 September 10, 2009

I didn't spend any time breaking these boots in, but figured I wouldn't be backpacking on my first trip out, so the consequences were minimal. After several days of day hiking in rough, wet, conditions, my feet were totally happy and blister free. So, I was impressed by their out of the box comfort and sturdy feel. I also like their classic all leather look. I felt very comfortable jogging down scree fields, and bushwacking in places I couldn't see where my foot is landing. I have had trouble with other boots because of my narrow foot width and chose these because of other positive reviews from narrow footed folks. These Asolo's turned out to be a great purchase and I imagine I'll be covering a lot of ground in them for years to come.

Good for early morning run

Backcountry.com Cocona Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Backcountry.com Cocona Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 June 23, 2009

This is not my favorite running shirt, but I think it's ideal for the cool early morning run. Some people have said that this shirt was a little tight across the chest or under the arms but it seems to fit me just fine.

Not as good as the carrier

Deuter Sun Roof & Rain Cover

Deuter Sun Roof & Rain Cover

Rating for this product: 3 May 8, 2009

I really like the Deuter Kid Comfort carrier that I bought this cover for, but I don't the cover nearly as much. I love the fit and how easy it is to put on, but it does not block the sun enough for my liking. Maybe this has to do with my baby being pretty young and sitting kind of low, but sun seems to hit his face unless the sun is directly over head or behind us. It could be user error, but it is better then nothing especially for the price.

Light Weight

Deuter Kid Comfort I

Deuter Kid Comfort I

Rating for this product: 4 May 8, 2009

This is my first baby carrier I've ever bought, so I don't have much to compare it to. What I really like about the carrier is it feel really light when my 7 month boy is sitting in it. Not sure if that's because the pack is just really light or the adjustments are just really good. I guess what I don't get in the pack, which is related to it's weight, is much storing area to put things. But the way I look at it, I probably won't be taking the baby on really long hikes anyways, so I really don't need a whole lot.

Rating for this product: 5 July 7, 2008

I have now used this kit for a few things and so far everything is great. The best piece of the kit might be the tweezers which worked great for getting a nasty splinter out.

Rating for this product: 4 July 7, 2008

The best thing about this knife is the lock, which is easy to use and seems pretty secure. I thought the blade felt dull when I first touched it, but once I used it, it worked great.

Great for the price

Rating for this product: 4 July 7, 2008

This pack is really great for the price. I'm 5'10, 155 pounds and it fits perfect once you take the time and adjust all the straps correctly. The hip belt is probably the best reason why is feels really snug and secure. The shoulder straps could be a little more comfortable.

Awesome

Nite Ize Nite Dawg LED Light-Up Dog Collar

Nite Ize Nite Dawg LED Light-Up Dog Collar

Rating for this product: 5 April 22, 2008

I can't say enough good things about this collar. For an owner whose dog loves to run around and chase everything in the night, it's good to have the self assurance that you will always be able to spot him. Fits perfect and the light has always turned on. Much better than a clip on.

Great all around ski

Dynastar Legend Mythic Rider Alpine Ski

Dynastar Legend Mythic Rider Alpine Ski

Rating for this product: 5 February 21, 2008

I'm an intermediate skier and have never tried to an all mountain ski, so I decided to give these a shot. It took a little bit to get comfortable with these skis because of my lack of experience, but half way through the day I really started to enjoy these. I started to get a good feel for the skis and was able to try more daring stuff. If someone is looking for an all mountain ski I would definitely recommend these!
