Rating for this product: 4 4 days ago

These are great pants, I want to buy more just in case I ruin them. I'm a size 30-31" waist and I got a size large, I'm 5'8" and they are a little long. Great mobility, keep me cool and dry, really strong. Only complaint is the stitching seems to be coming loose in the inner thigh area. We'll see how it holds up.

Rating for this product: 4 May 19, 2012

It's super cute, but a couple complaints. The length is really short, I got an XL for an overly baggy look and it doesn't look like that. It hits right at the hips 5'8".. Also not as baggy as I wanted. Wish it was longer and baggier but super cut anyway so I'll keep it.

Rating for this product: 5 April 24, 2012

These are probably one of my favorite shoes I've ever had. I almost want to get another pair just in case I lose one or they stop making them. Great for casual hiking around in and out of water. Love them for the dog park going in the creek with the dogs. Really really comfortable. They do seem to fit a bit big. I wear a 8.5 and that's what I ordered. I could have gone down to a 8.0 easily. Color is great and they are really cute. Color in photo is power pink/spray/maroon.

Rating for this product: 4 April 17, 2012

Love these gloves, really low profile and kept my hands really warm in 15F weather skiing. I would definitely recommend them. Only drawback is they aren't easy on/off gloves, you have to unzip them to get them off. Also, they don't have any type of lanyard to prevent runaway gloves, but perfect otherwise.

Rating for this product: 5 March 30, 2012

Great pants! I got them in the gray color, great color. I love the fit of them, I am a 30" waist and 5'8" and I went with the large, they are very form fitting, borderline compression tights. I love the length and the little slit at the bottom to give them a flattering shape. Key pocket is great, though very tiny (probably fit a credit card) Definitely recommend them! They keep the sweat away from my body and have great flexibility for yoga, zumba, running, hiking. Great.

Sierra Designs Vapor Light 2 Tent 2-Person 3-Season

Rating for this product: 3 July 7, 2011

Really cool design and super lightweight, but I wouldn't consider it a two person tent. More like a 1 person and a dog tent, or two children tent. I am 5'8" and my Husband is 6'3" and we have a 20lb Shiba Inu. We did not all fit comfortably, it was very cramped. But it is super lightweight and easy to assemble. So I would definitely recommend it as a 1-person.

Pom-Pom Pocket Rocket w/Buffer Rub On Wax

Pom-Pom Pocket Rocket w/Buffer Rub On Wax

Rating for this product: 3 November 17, 2010

Wax wasn't all that. Tried it out yesterday in really slow conditions and didn't seem to help that much. Smells amazing like a popsicle and was easy to use. My one complaint is the bottom is concave and the top of the wax has a design on it making it not distribute on the board evenly. If it was just a plain bar it probably would have went on better. The buffer is a plus. But just a mediocre rub-on wax.

My hands stayed really dry. I wear a women's size Large glove and ordered medium in these. They are a little big could have gone down to a small.

Overall great gloves, held up well yesterday in the worst of conditions

This is a good lightweight pack. It meets airline carry-on requirements. It just went with us to our trip to Jamaica, it held enough clothes for a week. My only complaint is the top loader and no additional pockets, it's annoying to access anything unless you pull everything out. Other than that, really lightweight, durable, and did the job.

These shoes are nice, they breathe really well and are great for water activities. My only complaint is the back piece rubbed my heel and caused slight blistering, it wasn't bad after the first day. The sizing is true to size I wear 8 1/2 street shoe and ordered a 9. Should have stuck with the 8.5 probably would have prevented the rubbing. All in All though I like them.
