The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

6 days ago

This would be a great choice. Fairly light weight jacket for traveling and VERY warm. Has some nice pockets for holding wallets, cameras, etc. needed when you are touring. The inside chest pocket is huge. I could easily fit a winter hat and my wallet in there with room to spare.

My new favorite jacket!

The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

The North Face Aconcagua Down Jacket - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 6 days ago

I absolutely love this jacket. It has a nice fit. Not bulky like many down jackets. VERY warm. I walked around town tonight in single digit weather and was completely warm. As for sizing, I am 5'8", 150, normally wear a size 12. Bought this in a Large and it fits perfectly. Collar has a soft lining so you can zipper up around your face for comfortable, extra warmth in frigid temps.

Warm, Comfortable Casual boot

The North Face Bella Blackhomb Winter Boot - Women's

The North Face Bella Blackhomb Winter Boot - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 30, 2009

I bought these boots for walking around the snowy Park City streets. I've only had the opportunity to wear these a couple of times, but so far, so good. They are warm, waterproof, and don't seem to get dirty with all the street grime. The traction on the bottom is good on the slick sidewalks. I normally wear a size 8. Bought these in an 8 and they fit great. I have enough room to put on good thermal socks if needed in January. So far I am very happy with the purchase.

These socks are comfortable and fit nicely without any bunching. However, be careful when pulling them on. I stuck my thumb right through the goat pulling them on. Now I have a big hole in the back of my one sock.

Awesome coat!

Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell - Women's

Backcountry.com Stoic eVent Shell - Women's

Rating for this product: 5 November 30, 2009

This coat runs a bit on the smaller side, so I'd suggest sizing up if you want to layer. I normally wear a 12 and bought this in an XL. The XL fits perfectly and allows me to layer a fleece and/or sweater underneath. Sleeves are nice and long, which is great for my long arms. Very light-weight jacket but blocks the wind nicely and has excellent waterproofing. Wore around town in a snowstorm recently. I haven't had a chance to run it through it's paces on the slopes yet, but will post additional info when I've had a chance to test it out.

Cool shoes, run slightly big

Salomon XT Wings GTX Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Salomon XT Wings GTX Trail Running Shoe - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 November 30, 2009

Believe it or not, I bought these shoes for snowshoeing. They were recommended to me because they a Gore-Tex lined and would keep your feet dry while allowing more flexibility while snowshoeing compared to traditional winter boots. We haven't had enough snow to snowshoe yet this season, but I did wear them in colder weather and was quite happy that my feet stayed warm. I normally wear a size 8 and ordered these in an 8. They are a little large in width, but that's o.k. since I'll want to wear them with thick winter socks. For trail running with thinner socks, you might want to consider downsizing half a size. Especially if you have a smaller volume foot.

These boots are great. Very warm, keep your feet dry. I haven't had any trouble with the sizing. I wear an 8 and bought an 8. The fit quite comfortably. I can even put on some thick winter socks for extra cold weather. These will definitely keep you feet comfortable in cold, snowy weather. And the traction keeps you vertical in slick conditions.

I've worn these socks all day, walking around town. They are comfortable, don't bunch up. I have the Oceana color and they have faded slightly after a couple of washes. But otherwise are holding up well. I like them well enough.

The North Face Hiawatha Sandal - Women's

The North Face Hiawatha Sandal - Women's

Rating for this product: 4 September 25, 2009

These are very well made shoes. Nice & comfortable. Run a little wide. I normally wear a size 8 and the length is good. The strap is slightly loose around my foot so I have to make sure they don't fall off when walking down stairs. But I have a small volume foot so that might be part of the issue. Support in them is quite good for a flip flop.

Really long arms

Mountain Hardwear Sarafin Cardigan - Women's

Mountain Hardwear Sarafin Cardigan - Women's

Rating for this product: 3 September 12, 2009

I just received this sweater. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs and ordered an XL as I tend to prefer my sweaters with a slightly looser fit. This sweater fits nicely in the body and shoulders, but the arms are extremely long. I have really long arms and usually have an issue with sleeves being too short. But this sweater is completely the opposite. I will just have to wear it with the cuffs rolled up a couple of inches.

Nice Helmet

Giro Omen Helmet

Rating for this product: 4 September 12, 2009

The Giro Omen is a nice helmet. I've skied in it a couple of seasons and it's pretty nice. Light weight, good ventilation. Chin strap is padded so that is comfortable. The plastic inner-frame is adjustable so you can get a decent fit. I have a hard time fitting helmets with my tiny pinhead, so I got this in a small. My only nit is if I tighten the inner frame a bit too much I get a headache, but it's easily loosened. I found the Giro G10 helmet to be a bit more comfortable.

Rating for this product: 5 September 4, 2009

I love North Face Ski pants. They are high-quality, strong seams, keep you dry even if you sit in the snow a few times. I wear these skiing and snowboarding, and they are very comfortable. Love the extra cargo pocket to throw in a lock and neck warmer. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs. The size Large/Regular fits great. This is my 3rd pair of North Face ski pants and I will definitely buy more. Love their jackets too.

Rating for this product: 4 September 2, 2009

Nice, well made jacket. Runs small, would size up. I'm 5'8", 145 lbs, normally wear a size 12/Large. I ordered this in Wisteria color, Large size. Should have ordered and XL. I can't wear it with anything other than a t-shirt without it being too tight. Would have returned for an XL but they were out of the color I wanted. Quality is good, though. I'm just bummed I can't get my color in the XL anymore. Would have rated 5 stars if the sizing were better.

Great to track calories and heart rate

Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor

Polar F11 Heart Rate Monitor

Rating for this product: 5 May 20, 2009

I use this every time I exercise. I can not say how accurate the calorie counter is, but it is a great way to measure and track improvement in your workouts by comparing your counts from one day to the next. You can easily track which exercises burn more calories per hour, which days you've worked out harder than others, etc. The heart rate tracking helps ensure you are in the right zone for your work out. Wearing the chest strap may take a little getting used to for some, but it is really not a big deal. And the chest strap will transmit your heart rate to many pieces of gym equipment that are equipped with heart rate sensors if you don't want to wear the watch for some reason. It will work in the pool if you swim laps.

When you are done your workout, upload it to the computer. You'll need a microphone on your computer because it uses a "fax machine" like sound signal to send the data. There is no cable that connects the watch to the computer.

Highgear Altis TI Altimeter Watch

Highgear Altis TI Altimeter Watch

Rating for this product: 3 May 20, 2009

Watch is well built. Large & very heavy on the wrist. You will know you are wearing it. It works well and as advertised. I only rated it 3 stars for 2 reasons:

1. It's not the most intuitive and user friendly watch. There are many features and functions and it takes a bit of time to learn how to work it. You pretty much have to read the manual. I had an Avocet altimeter watch previously that was MUCH easier to use. For the price I would expect a much simpler interface.
2. My jacket or glove continually bump the buttons and changed the watch settings while I am skiing. I've missed numerous runs because of this and didn't realize the watch had turned off the counter.

This watch has the advantage that you can replace the battery yourself. The Avocet required you to resend to the factory every time the battery died, which is why I bought this one to replace it.
