Backcountry.com Merino Hooded Shirt - Sleeveless - Women's

Backcountry.com Merino Hooded Shirt - Sleeveless - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 August 25, 2009

The green color is great! Got it today.. see myself wearing this over another workout shirt, or just over a sports bra for active yoga/pilates. My measurements are on the larger side of a small (based on Backcountry.com's sizing chart) so I ordered a small - it is definitely fitted like the picture shows. If you are insecure at all about your tummy, I would order a size up because this will show off any imperfections if you have any - it's that fitted. I can't see myself wearing this casually, but definitely will wear it to the gym and for outdoor cardio stuff.

The North Face Shugga One-Piece Snow Suit - Women's

The North Face Shugga One-Piece Snow Suit - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 August 18, 2009

I SO wanted this to work for me - the quality and workmanship on this snow suit are perfection and I absolutely love the stylish look. However, I tried a medium based on my measurements (I'm barely a medium in TNF measurements) and I was literally swimming in the suit. I should have known because all my TNF jackets are smalls despite the measurements chart showing me as a barely-medium. I had ordered the black and the reviewers before me are right - it is more of a charcoal, which is actually more flattering. A couple weeks later I saw a small was back in stock so I ordered it - everything was perfect except for the pant length; too short! I'm almost 5'7" and these were about an inch off the floor in bare feet. To me that is too short. This time the color I got was the blue - and it definitely is bright! But in a fashionable way, not too kid-like.

Icebreaker SuperFine190 Saturn Skirt - Women's

Icebreaker SuperFine190 Saturn Skirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 13, 2009

This skirt is GREAT. Basically lived in it in Florida for a week, it was ultra-comfy and stylish with either flip flops or cute ballet flats. The Pinot color is a deep purple that I think looks good with just about any color of top. I wear this on my hips as well, in a small (I'm a 4-6 in skirts). Like another reviewer, I don't need the drawstring as the waistband elasticity is sufficient. Hits just above the kneecap for me, and I found the material to be super soft and not see through at all despite the 190 weave. Buy one! :-)

Icebreaker SuperFine140 Butterfly Line Scoop T-Shirt - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 13, 2009

I'm also an Icebreaker junkie.. I wear size small in Icebreaker tops based on the sizing chart and find the tops to be flattering yet fitted, which is perfect for me. This shirt in Jungle looks great with the Saturn skirt in Pinot.. I really like the pattern on the shirt, it can either dress up or down an outfit while still being cute! As for functionality.. I wore this for 3 days during my trip to Florida and it still doesn't smell and could be worn at least a couple more days before I wash it. Perfecto!

Good investment

Icebreaker Nature200 Lite Cami - Women's

Icebreaker Nature200 Lite Cami - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 13, 2009

I also have the matching long-sleeve Nature Lite, and both get a lot of wear. I don't wear the cami by itself, but it's a great baselayer under a T-shirt. Definitely helps with wicking sweat in warmer climates, and providing a little extra warmth for the colder ones. I've worn it for 4 days before and it still doesn't show signs of needing to be washed! I haven't yet, but will probably wear this cami to sleep in as well. I bought a small (size 6 in tops normally) and it is fitted yet not quite as tight at the BodyFit line.

Icebreaker SuperFine GT 190 Elite Tee - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Icebreaker SuperFine GT 190 Elite Tee - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 2, 2009

SO pleased with this purchase! I wore this the day after I got it to this bootcamp class I go to every week at the gym. I've always worn Nike DriFit T's, among others, which have soaked through with tons of sweat by the end of class, it's pretty disgusting. However, the Icebreaker T wicked away ALL the sweat and I didn't feel overheated wearing wool. You couldn't even tell where the T was wet! Better yet, other T's have left me feeling cold and clammy while stretching afterwards in the gym, but not the Icebreaker! It also doesn't smell at ALL even after an intense workout and I'm wearing it again tonight to another class.. I am 100% sold.

Icebreaker SuperFine GT 190 Elite Tee - Short-Sleeve - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 March 2, 2009

I was so excited about this T that I forgot to mention how it fits.. like most other Icebreaker tops, this is designed to be fitted. I ordered a small like I always do (size 4-6 in tops) and it's fitted but not skin tight like the BodyFit line. Hits mid to low hip, is slightly longer in the back (great for when bending over), and does not ride up.

Backcountry.com Prime Power Stretch Hoody - Women's

Backcountry.com Prime Power Stretch Hoody - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 February 3, 2009

Thought this would be a great hoody based on previous reviews, but boy was I wrong! Other than the super soft material, this hoody has nothing going for it. It was truly laughable when I tried the hoody on - I looked like a sack of potatoes in this thing. Maybe it doesn't help that my waist is rather small and didn't fill out the middle section, but this hoody was just not flattering at all. Definitely going back, not even worth the stellar price I paid for it on SAC.

Oakley Geo Plaid Sherpa Fleece Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt - Women's

Oakley Geo Plaid Sherpa Fleece Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 26, 2009

A sweet SAC deal later, I am hooked on this sweatshirt! Just arrived today and I have not taken it off yet.. Love the interior fleece lining, definitely good for winter. I ordered a medium based on the chart and it fits great. My hips are 38" and the fit is snug but not too tight where the jacket ends at low hip (I'm 5'7") and the sleeves are plenty long. Got the niagara blue, which is a bit darker in color than the picture shows, which I actually prefer. Only wish the "Oakley" stitching on the front left pocket stood out more so everyone would know where it came from!

The North Face Atlantic Jacket - Women's

The North Face Atlantic Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 January 26, 2009

I normally wear a size small in TNF jackets (I have the Furallure Tweed in a S) but got this one in a medium to accomodate all the jackets I wear with my work outfits in the winter. In that respect, the medium has plenty of room. However, the M also made me look extra puffy and big which is NOT the look I was going for. Only other complaint is that the exterior fabric picks up a bit of lint which is noticeable on the Ink Blue color (more of a gray-navy). This jacket is definitely warm, though, and will do the job well when temps get into the single digits. The belt around the midsection is quite slimming I think and the fur hood is awesome looking. Just make sure you don't buy it too large or you'll look too puffy! :-)

The North Face Atlantic Jacket - Women's

January 21, 2009

I just received this jacket in the mail yesterday.. seems like it will pick up lint rather quickly. I have a Furallure Tweed coat from last season which by comparison is a little "slicker" and I haven't had any problems with that one, even with sweaters that shed. The internal lining of the Atlantic is slick, though.

CamelBak Muse Hydration Pack - Women's

CamelBak Muse Hydration Pack - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 19, 2009

I did not have the same hose freezing incident as another reviewer stated. I skied in NY this past weekend with -25F windchill for 6 hours straight and the hydration tube did not freeze. I maybe drank from it 3 times during the day and had no issues whatsoever. Also fit very well around my 5'7" frame with a ski jacket, especially with the strap that wraps around your waist to secure the pack. it didn't hinder any movement going down the slopes, either. I highly recommend!

Marmot Furlong Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 January 9, 2009

Found this at a local store and had to have it. I've been looking for a fleece jacket/layer for awhile and this one was too cute to pass up! Love that it's wind/water resistant and the fur makes it super stylish. Bottom of jacket hits me at the top of my hips, so it's not a long jacket, but just long enough to cover where my jeans/shirt meet. My torso is average to long. Bought in size medium (per size chart) and it fits great. I'm 5'7" and 137lbs. There's enough room for a couple of wool baselayers but not a vest by any means.

Too much hype

The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Women's

The North Face Denali Fleece Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 December 8, 2008

I feel like this jacket gets more hype than it deserves.. TNF definitely makes quality products and this one is no exception, however, the fit of this jacket is made for women with shorter torsos. I have a TNF Furallure jacket that is cropped and I love it, but I wanted this fleece to hit low hip so that I didn't get any drafts with my low rise jeans when I sit down. This version of the Denali is just too short for my liking.. I even tried going up a size to see if that would help, but it's still too short. Bummer! I will be purchasing the Khumbu fleece instead even though it's not Polartec due to this issue.

Icebreaker Nature Hot Pant Underwear - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 December 3, 2008

I think the Nov 9 reviewer was way too harsh on these undies.. I ordered my normal size and they fit great. Design on the side is cute. Only complaint is that I don't love the backside view of the hot pant on me cuz they look more like regular undies (but that could just be my backside's fault lol). These are great under ski pants and jeans in the winter.

Mostly I wear these for gym classes (bootcamp, spinning) but these are also good for just hanging around at home or running errands. No cold feet with athletic shoes in the winter, either! Typically I wear these 3 times before I wash them. Just the right amount of cushioning for me, too. Definitely recommend!

Descente Nova Mountain Bike Short - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 October 17, 2008

I typically wear size 6-8 pants and got a medium. However, the medium was still a bit too small. Inner liner fit pretty nicely and the padding is awesome. But, once I got the outer shell on, it looked like I was wearing my grandma's shorts! Waistband was at least 2 inches above my belly button, it was grossing me out. Even if they had a bigger size, I would not get these because of the uber high rise issue.

Rating for this product: 5 October 8, 2008

This jacket is kick-ass. Look is fabulous and I love the multi-functionality. Bought it for casual wear throughout the fall/winter. Right now I'm wearing the vest with and without the hood. Either way it looks great and keeps me warm! I wear size small shirts and the size 6 fits great. Would not be able to fit a chunky fleece or sweater underneath, but I am not planning to since I wear mostly Icebreakers for winter layers.

Rating for this product: 3 October 2, 2008

Agree with previous reviewer on sizing issue. Generally I'm a 6-8 and I ordered an 8 in both black and clove. Well, the clove fit fine but the black was too small. Might be b/c the pants were not made in the same country.. Anyway, the clove reminds me of a true rust color which I ended up not liking, so both of these are going back.. Too bad, fabric quality and overall design get an A.

SmartWool Running Light Micro - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 October 2, 2008

I prefer these to the ultra light micro running sock.. my feet slid around wearing those while doing interval training. However, these do not slide at all - I attribute this to the higher amount of cushion in the sock bed. Definitely keeps my feet more dry and comfortable for aerobic activities, yet great for everyday wear, too.

Hemp Hoodlamb Droptop Hoodlamb Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 April 4, 2008

I loved all the features of this jacket, but I thought the overall look was lacking.. I ordered the off-white color, which in the picture seemed shiny and cool, but in actuality, was more of a dull canvas type material. The hood was neat, but there were no drawstrings to reign it in, and therefore it was huge on my head. The coat was fairly warm, although not as warm as the Fullalure down jacket from TNF that I ended up purchasing.

Rating for this product: 5 March 27, 2008

This jacket is awesome - just the style I was looking for! I originally got a medium, but the sleeves were waaaay too long and in general the size was a bit too large. The sleeves on the small were just right (but still long enough for my liking) and fit better all around. It is a short jacket, but that's part of the reason why I like it, very stylish. This jacket is also VERY warm, and I love all the pockets.
