Nice Pair of Short

The North Face Rainier Surplus Short - Men's

The North Face Rainier Surplus Short - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 1, 2011

They fit true to size if you follow the sizing chart. I got the regular length and they were a perfect fit. The fabric is nice and light but seems durable for all that you could throw at it. My only problem is really a picky one, the single button on the pockets mean that the flaps will fold over and get creased. I'm just being picky though really, because I'll be ordering another pair soon!

Perfect

Patagonia Daily Grind Laptop Bag - 915cu in

Patagonia Daily Grind Laptop Bag - 915cu in

Rating for this product: 5 November 1, 2011

Works just like I hoped. I can put my macbook pro, magic mouse, external drive, and 3-4 books in there comfortably. It is designed to function very well with lots of well placed pockets for keys, documents and other needs. The laptop stays secure in the designed pouch. The bottom line is that it is well made and looks great. It's definitely worth the purchase.

Just Bought Another One

Marmot Afterburner Fleece Jacket - Men's

Marmot Afterburner Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 August 31, 2010

I'm was thrilled to find out that Marmot is still making these. I have worn my last Afterburner for the past 2 years, still love it, but after all this time it's starting to show some minor wear, so I'm buying another one while I still can. The fleece is still holding up well, the wind-stopper is perfect, and despite a few minor snags in the outside layer the jacket is in perfect shape and functioning just like when I bought it. The review I posted two years ago is still true, and whenever I leave the house I grab this fleece over any other jacket or fleece that I own, even 2 winters ago when we had one of the worst winters in the last twenty years in Michigan. Buy one, it's perfect!

Awesome, durable, light cook set. Hopefully the '09 lives up the the perforance of these. Used them with jet boil and more traditional coleman stove and they worked great. packs up unbelievably small with some extra room for matches, flint, small utensils, etc. love it!

Great but....

The North Face Pumori Fleece Jacket - Men's

The North Face Pumori Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 4 March 16, 2009

This fleece is well made and you wouldn't expect anything else from TNF. However, if you are wearing it an outer layer it is not no good below 40 degrees or if there any wind above 5-10 mph. Granted they do not claim to have wind resistance, but I would have expected it to perform better since it is Polartec 200. It serves its function very well, warmer (above 40) calm weather and zip in capability. But if you are expecting anything extra out of it, you will be disappointed. One feature I loved, is that the arms and torso are not really short. I'm 6'2" and I have a hard time getting jackets to be long enough and this covers my belt completely and is a good length on my arms. If you buy it for its intended purposes you will not be disappointed! And it is well worth the money, as is just about everything from TNF.

Wife loves it

Outdoor Research Specter Fleece Jacket - Women's

Outdoor Research Specter Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 16, 2009

Bought this for my wife, and she loves the fit. It is great for the spring temperatures right now. Since she wears in now instead of some other jackets she has, I'd say she likes it. She commented how it is warmer than it feels when just holding it (i.e. it's light yet warm). It is very soft and moves and breathes well while out jogging or walking.

Best Fleece I've Ever Owned

Marmot Afterburner Fleece Jacket - Men's

Marmot Afterburner Fleece Jacket - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 November 28, 2008

I have fleece from North Face and Columbia, and this fleece far outperforms both of them. I was skeptical of the WindStopper capabilities, but they are just as advertised. I live in northern Michigan and with a sweater under it, I go outside in 15-20 degree weather with 20+ mph winds (like all last week). It is warm and flexible. I called Marmot to figure out the fit of this jacket, it is causal fit. It is not a technical fit. I really appreciated the longer torso length since I'm a taller guy (6'2"). I would recommend this to anyone, it is well worth the price.
